Creating an Open-source Blogging Studies Syllabus
Announcing a new open-source, asynchronous Blogging Studies syllabus that blends writing craft and independent web publishing, built on Codeberg. I trace the decline of free MOOCs, outline my curriculum's anti-capitalist and community-driven pedagogy, and invite contributors and learners to help shape it.

Vibe-Coding in (Digital) Humanities
I was thinking about writing this thought for a while. I would say almost since we started publishing the vibe-coded advent calendar* for DigiLab at IMAFO ÖAW. However, I was not sure what my stand on the use of LLMs for coding is, and to be honest, I am still not sure. The technology advances so fast that is hard to keep pace with the development. There are very different opinions in the developer community and the results seems to vary a lot, too. However, I started noticing that more and more scholars are leaning towards vibe-coding as a way of taking the development of the tools they want from the slow and expensive software engineers back in their hands. And I think that is a dangerous mindset.
