"I did not write a single line of code but carefully shepherded AI over the course of several days"

"Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it."

Why are people like this?

what if instead of www over http, internet sites were git repositories and every day your browser fetched updates to each one and navigated them offline and as a bonus you had archives of your favorite internet sites that you could search with grep

it could be called ggg: the Global Git Gossamer™

Macintosh Plus Mini

I imagine ACH transfers being made by prospectors with covered wagons couriering bags of gold nuggets back and forth between banks like out of Oregon Trail

Aside from "ACH transfer initiated, funds will arrive in 2-3 days"

Is there a more anachronistic yet somehow still plausible sentence in 2025 than "please fax a copy of the check"

Post from LGR:

Returning to VCF Midwest two years later on LGR!youtu.be/FTKnv4LoAjYAnd wow has it changed. It feels like an almost entirely different show! 66,000 square feet of vintage computers, retro hardware, software, and old school goodness of all kinds. Here's what the show was like (for me) in 2025!
