"Code is precise, structured specification," I said, imploringly. "Attempts to replace code with imprecise human language either fail or gradually turn back into code as they mature." But he didn't hear me; he was busy debugging the YAML file he uses to vibe code his web app.

It's *like* Hadoop but there's no zookeeper; the various and sundry JVM processes are independent agents that don't trust each other. Giant marketplaces incentivize them using bitcoin payments to flock together in exascale mapreduce jobs. More murmuration than computation.

Recently I was targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack, and I want to highlight it here. It exploits a vulnerability in Google's infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we're likely to see it a lot more. Here's the email I got:
