Month: December 2025

Given last weeks post… it’s been a struggling week. To top it off…

and through it… I’m tinkering. If I’m going to build something and put something in the world, I’ve looked back and it’s likely in December. I get all pensive around my bday, asking what am I doing with myself? And then I go off and make something.

Minimum Vibeable Product

What have I been making? I’ve been sinking my teeth into a little pet project. It’s my own little ActivityPub corner of the internet. And love it or hate it… I’m vibe coding.

I’m working with Google Gemini through Antigravity. And After a couple weeks. It’s fun to be a micro manager of a developer sometimes and, that’s pretty much what you feel like.

I give it some vague detailed order; it does some translating of that order; makes a plan and a todo.; checks with me if I agree, and I do about 80% of the time; then goes off and does it.

I review the code and for me… it’s good enough. After all I’m not going for any developer accolades with my little project. Right now, I’m just going for an MVP.

Note: If you’re a developer and want to watch something funny, as it to unit test everything it builds. Watch it argue with it self, sure it’s built perfect code, and then see every unit test fail. And then it argue with itself.

Note II: I now always ensure everything it builds has a corresponding unit test.

Ummm…. what have you made Nano Banana?

I’ve found once Google’s Nano Banana gets an idea in it’s head… it has some trouble letting go.

Here’s how the prompts went:

1. Make me a picture in the style of Ren & Stimpy an interpretive picture of sleep deprivation caused by back pain, flu and children
2. That’s a little too scary for folks… try again more like Spongebob Squarepants, and you don’t need the text.
3. Hmmm. Can you start again? Make me a picture in the style of Spongebob Squarepants an interpretive picture of sleep deprivation caused by back pain, flu and children. No need to add any text where the person sick is a person

Ya, sure. I think I can say that’s been my week on a bunch of fronts. Ship it.

But hey, on the ADHD front?

You betcha I am. Getting certified all over the place!

“Can you make me an image of someone with thumbs up proud to be adhd certified – please don’t add any text“

“Now can you make me an image of me facepalming because of the image you just made?“

“Can you start again, and make me an image of me writing novella length prompts just to get ai to do what I want”
