Devs! Drop your so we can follow each other! Love to see the projects you’re working on. Mine: —

Not very well curated, and there's a few things I'm cleaning up to make public: github.com/gever A few of my graduated students and I have been experimenting with rapid/vibe coding while we are actively discussing an idea. Usually asynchronously from Discord into a quick git repo, when they result in something interesting or amusing, they end up here: gever.github.io/explorations/

Gave up on github after the acquisition. Very glad I did, given the unsurprising decline since then.

And what do you use now?

replied to:

Some gitlab, some codeberg. More recently the latter as gitlab have an annoying tendency to mess with their UI for no discernible reason.

I think is time to vibecode an alternative! I know I would

same. about to move stuff over to codeberg.org

I'm doing experiments with short attention-span students and code. Starting with python, and, oddly, now working in BASIC. As a C programmer of 40+ years, I find this aesthetically and pedagogically displeasing, but I am delighted to see them getting fully absorbed in writing 130 PRINT "You have been eaten by a bear!" : GOTO 900. Yes there is spaghetti, but it's their spaghetti and they seem to take delight in debugging it. Python will come later.

I was talking about this with some alumni students, specifically their experience learning python with us a few years earlier (these are college students who are not really using python any more). What it seems to boil down to is that with python you have the feeling that there is this huge forest of solutions to any problem you are having -- but you will never know the whole forest. BASIC feels like you "know" it after a day or two of playing around, evidently.
