Architecturally very stupid, I mean. Besides that though, yes, stupid also in lots of other ways.

I added #webmcp to this, largely just to see what I could maybe do with it, and now I have an SPA that lets me say 'highlight any MQTT traffic related to battery usage on this public MQTT broker' and it'll do that in-browser, and this is a deeply stupid but fun thing to be able to do.

I made a simple open-source #MQTT visualisation tool using AI-assisted coding. It is useful for getting a real-time sense of how your traffic is flowing in an MQTT broker, and for quickly exploring topic trees in general. I continue to feel weird about vibe coding.

You are very kind, my friend. Mostly I am just putting together stuff other people (including AI) have done before. Not quite as original or cool as it might look.

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

The trick is to drink enough rosè that you think, "I should paint my nails matte black again" but not so much that you think, "I could probably build a futurist musical instrument _right now_ if I really wanted to."
