My back yard now

@somafm.com Hello guys. Just wanted to let you know that Groove Salad 2 is amazing. It is slowly becoming my new favorite somafm station. 👍

At least back in the days of TV, we were the ones operating the remote control. Now its all "algo".

As I'm working daily on 3 different computers, I wrote a little life-saver script.

The script is called simply "out" and it scans my projects' directory for uncommitted changes. It prints the corresponding dirs or simply: "You are good to go!" if everything is committed.

People who blog for a while and then quit because of no traction (like I did in the past) have completely missed the point of blogging.

You blog to force order into your thinking. It heals your mind. Writing and explaining well, becomes a superpower over time.

Fuck being popular.

The latest from my blog. This is what I believe is the greatest threat humanity faces. No Terminator 2 scenarios...

At last!

I can't believe I posted a localhost link earlier.... 😂

Anthropic's Claude now lists HappyByte as #16 among the top 20 Greek web hosting companies.

But how did we get this far?
Passion?
Dedication?
Hard work?

Bullshit. Everyone does those.

Here is my secret: bibakis.com/en/writing/h...

Every time a customer is displeased, it is always the fault of the business. Not because you did something wrong (you likely did not).

But you did fail to communicate properly your processes, your product or your pricing.

Waiting patiently till pioneers "beta test" that new AI-agents thingy.

The guy who invented the submarine died while testing a submarine.

Authentic Human Conversation™ Reddit is suing people for reading Google. It's selling user content it doesn't own for $130 million a year. And the product is mostly bots now. Other than that, everything's fine.

The only things that will remain will be corporate pages, cloud storage, e-commerce etc. But content and H2H communication will vanish.

Oh, yes, the article: www.searchenginejournal.com/authentic-hu...

Nice article which reinforces my guess that, the internet as we know it, will collapse within the next 5 years.

The net will soon be dominated by AI trash and nobody will be able to know if they are even talking to a human or a bot.

It will become a new version of TV and people will move back IRL.

And the most important part:

"Also add to the end of the report, the list of the screens/URLs I will have to test after we go through with the changes, to ensure everything continues to work smoothly"

The way I work with claude for anything that will take more than an hour is that I first ask it to make me proposals and save them as html files for a given problem.

I then spend the next hours architecting the solution on a high level before giving it a huge prompt to go through.

Wait till random strangers start hacking all the security holes that AI forgot open, because "Apologies for the oversight" 🤣

Claude code is a life-changing tool.

But you still have to know what you are doing and should have at least a few years of experience in making software.

Non-tech people who only vibe code will find that out the hard way.

To be honest, this is *exactly* what I was hoping for. A stable and mature OS with no surprises.

For the work I do at HappyByte, this is a perfect platform.

Just took the latest Ubuntu 26.04 nightly for a test drive. From a quick first look it is exactly the same as 24.04 released two years ago.

And it is a very good thing!

And just like that, starlink decided to cut all residential speeds in half while keeping the price intact.

This what monopolies get you.

I'm starting publishing shorter blog posts now. Because God's janitor is asleep and there is nobody to stop me! bibakis.com/en/writing/g...

I have a tiny vclaude script available across the system which simply does:

claude update && claude

Saves me 30 seconds every day.

Personal news: After serious thought I decided to leave my island and move to Thessaloniki (2nd largest city in Greece) for the next few years.

I need access to a larger talent pool. In Crete 95% of the economy is tourism & agriculture.

Also the cityscape fits better what I do for a living...

The SaaS crash has been happening since 2022. AI is just the accelerant.

I've started having some customers telling me "ChatGPT told me to ask you to run this command on the server".

It is "cute" for now....

By the way, the guy is a designer...

Their own personal interest 99% of the time. Sugarcoated as "common good".
