Attempted my first "Vibe coding" work this week, a term I only heard via LinkedIn on Monday.
The first was a shaky mouse interaction thing on a grid of images. It took a few attempts, but eventually it got to where I wanted. Also saved me working out some deltas and basic trigonometry, so I was happy with that.
The second attempt was much simpler. Just fading in and out some text and images. Something easy enough to write my self, but I couldn't be bothered. Interestingly, it gave ti to me as a React Component with out my asking. I guess its mostly trained on React projects. Anyway, when I asked for it in Vanilla JS, it did what I asked.
I need to learn how to integrate it more into my current active project. This ended up sticking random HTML files all over a WordPress theme, which obviously wasn't going to work.
As it was unusually warm on the spring equinox, I went camping!
I decided to Bivy in some woods about 40mins cycle from home. Was a bit weird just sleeping out in the woods, but with a fire and some podcasts for company, it was a comfortable night.
I think a 1 man tent would let me sleep better if I was by myself again, but as a group I think the Bivy Bag worked well on a dry night. Not sure I'd do it in the rain.
I think I was most uncomfortable about being discovered by another person. Its hard to get remote near a city. But I didn't see anyone, and left just as the first dog walker appeared in the morning.
It wasn't the greatest night sleep, but I'm glad I did it. If it warms up soon, I'll try again I think.
Finally brought a new bike stem and re-wrapped my bars since the tape came off and I bent my shifter in December. Nice to have some straight brakes again. Bike riding was uninspired this week. But, keen to get on it again this week, as BITW is fast approaching and I am not fit enough
On that front, I picked up Gravel Rides South West England. Only skimmed so far, but looks like some good rides to start ticking off.
Today is the 5 year anniversary of being laid of thanks to Covid. It was an up and down job, but I do miss some of the friends I made there I've lost touch with since we left Canada.
