Hence why traditionally farmers either had large families, hired outside workers, or most often did both.

(Source: I grew up in rancher/farmer territory and earned some of my earliest "spending money" working for local farmers or ranchers during harvest season.)

You can't until the overlord(s) you've delegated all your thinking to tells you what you saw.

Several folks here suggest doing exactly what I did back then, and truth be told, it'll likely work today just as well as it did back then. Tell the customer straight up why it's a bad idea (just be honest and forthright here), and make clear that you'll be charging extra for the very much different skill of cleanup and debugging the "tag soup" garbage that DreamWeaver (or in this case "vibe coding") will produce when it inevitably fails to deliver the result they'd hoped for.

Then step back and find other work while you wait for the windfall as your prediction plays out exactly as you warned them it would. If it doesn't, then "good for them". Be happy for them that they're happy, and be happy for yourself that you found other (less stressful) work. Win-win, either way? Either way, you're working, they're happy with (or at least getting) their hoped-for result, and nobody's stuck with something they didn't really want (other than perhaps your inflated rate for blithely altering the scope of your task).

Fact is that they're paying you for your expertise, and if they choose to ignore that expertise when it really matters, it should cost them to access more valuable expertise when it comes time.

Doesn't it though? Especially when your profession involves the security of a nation and you can't even secure your own personal email account successfully?

Already in the act of being done; Just not in a way that's friendly to life... :(

I really liked the old original iPod Nano myself. Had one for years that I was triple-booting RockBox (for extended media formats support and fancier interface), iPodLinux (for playing Doom and other toys), and the original iPod OS (just in case). Still haven't yet owned another device in that size / form factor that can do as much as that little thing did. Apple really did make some sweet devices back in the day... :)

You're (probably) not going insane. Much of humanity's leadership is going insane, and their cult-like worshippers are right there with them. You're just bein' the "odd man out" tryin' to stay sane in a crazy world ruled by crazy people with way too much money and power.

> "Some part of the story are clear failures of the system."

I think in some sense, this is a bit of a "failure of the system" if one considers that healthy foods (regardless of vegan or not) ought to be just as readily available as the ultra-cheap (ultra-processed) unhealthy stuff, and should maybe be at a similar enough price point as to not deny even the poorest in a properly civilized society at least the option to eat healthy if that's what they want, but somehow we've decided that maximizing for profit above all other things (including health) is the way to go for everything in society, including our food system. Fail.

... in the same sense as the two sides of a coin are separate sides maybe.

I recently saw a comic where the machines took over and "that guy" (you) in the comic was the one the machines allowed to live because "he was always polite". ;)

In my experience, sorta kinda for certain uses but not entirely replacing other options. Marimo is great for when you want to build a more "app-like" notebook that does a task repeatably (it really beats Jupyter at this, even given JupyerWidgets), but for pure experimentation and playing with code, Jupyter Labs still rules the roost for me. I keep both installed for the different purposes that each excels at. This one may fill yet another need. Dunno yet until I give it some play-time.

... and is continuing to move further still ...

And to sing hymns loudly together in that enclosed space (which almost certainly helps spread a respiratory disease just that much more easily).

On the other hand, I've met people in the Godot game engine community that have built entire games on Android devices using Godot (yes, actually used an Android phone and the Godot game engine to build a game; not simply exported an Android game from a PC), so that only proves to me that if someone's got that "hacker spirit", they'll find a way to indulge it, even if the only thing they've got to work with is a smart-phone (and a spare keyboard / mouse layin' around). Problem is that mentality isn't encouraged quite the way it used to be back in the early days of the tech industry. The advertising and entertainment industries have "optimized" the Internet for "engagement", but most definitely not for the betterment of humanity. You gotta have that drive to build and create things or you'll get sucked down the various total waste of life rabbit-holes provided by the brain-sucky industries.

fascism /făsh′ĭz″əm/ noun

    A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control. 

Sorry, but The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition (and just about every other English language dictionary, I suspect) begs to differ. There is indeed a very clear definition for that word.
