Help me fediverse. I seek a replacement for this broken part. Do any of you know where to obtain this item?

Yay! I just finished step 1 of my sheepdog plate. The carving. Now it’s going to dry sloooowly - and then into the kiln!

The dog will look a lot more like a sheepdog once I glaze it with black and white.

This is a new experimental process for me (combining my tile and printmaking techniques for a plate). Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

This fabric costs £150/m, but almost nobody's left to make it

"Traditional silk ribbon weaving is officially critically endangered in the UK, and I got a private tour of Whitchurch Silk Mill, the oldest silk weaver still working in its original 1815 building. I met Leonie, the only apprentice in the entire country, watched 100-year-old looms in action, and left with my assumptions about fabric completely upended.

In this video: what it actually means for a craft to be endangered, the Heritage Crafts red list (including vanishing paintings and special brooms), behind-the-scenes of historic silk production in action, and an honest conversation about whether beauty alone can save a craft."

If you're hiking in Minnesota, you might stumble upon one of these crocheted fungi by Lydia Hansen.

If you don’t have the resources to write and understand the code yourself, you don’t have the resources to maintain it either.

Any monkey with a keyboard can write code. Writing code has never been hard. People were churning out crappy code en masse way before generative AI and LLMs. I know because I’ve seen it, I’ve had to work with it, and I no doubt wrote (and continue to write) my share of it.

What’s never been easy, and what remains difficult, is figuring out the right problem to solve, solving it elegantly, and doing so in a way that’s maintainable and sustainable given your means.

Code is not an artefact, code is a machine. Code is either a living thing or it is dead and decaying. You don’t just write code and you’re done. It’s a perpetual first draft that you constantly iterate on, and, depending on what it does and how much of that has to do with meeting the evolving needs of the people it serves, it may never be done. With occasional exceptions (perhaps? maybe?) for well-defined and narrowly-scoped tools, done code is dead code.

So much of what we call “writing” code is actually changing, iterating on, investigating issues with, fixing, and improving code. And to do that you must not only understand the problem you’re solving but also how you’re solving it (or how you thought you were solving it) through the code you’ve already written and the code you still have to write.

So it should come as no surprise that one of the hardest things in development is understanding someone else’s code, let alone fixing it when something doesn’t work as it should. Because it’s not about knowing this programming language or that (learning a programming language is the easiest part of coding), or this framework or that, or even knowing this design pattern or that (although all of these are important prerequisites for comprehension) but understanding what was going on in someone else’s head when they wrote the code the way they wrote it to solve a particular problem.

It frankly boggles my mind that some people are advocating for automating the easy part (writing code) by exponentially scaling the difficult part (understanding how exactly someone else – in this case, a junior dev who knows all the hows of things but none of the whys – decided to solve the problem). It is, to borrow a technical term, ass-backwards.

They might as well call vibe coding duct-tape-driven development or technical debt as a service.

Cherry eating spoon. The grain invited me to make a symmetrical bowl.

“Mythology and folklore surrounding moths and butterflies carries complex and sometimes contradictory symbolism,” textile artist Larysa Bernhardt says. “I was always attracted to their paradoxical nature.”
