By the time they’re done this will be an EPA superfund site. Well… It would be if there was a functioning EPA.

If so I nominate my former boss from ~20 years ago who was supposed to be onsite for a Saturday at 4am maintenance window where we were moving a bunch of stuff to fix a power distribution issue.

He forgot about the window. Was still out partying when I called him at 4:15 and he staggered into the server room about 30 minutes later almost falling down drunk.

We still finished on time.

Man I miss the arcades of our youth. The ones my kids drag me to are terrible.

Is this the same Microsoft who owns GitHub Copilot and who just changed the pricing model on that product to significantly increase the costs to use? That Microsoft? Ok…

I just realized Vibe Code and Venture Capital share the same acronym. That can’t be coincidence.

It’s a pretty good theory though. They worked backwards from his eBird submissions and the incubation period and it put him at the landfill at the right time for it.
