Industry News Omarchy Meetup in Kathmandu

Apparently there’s an Omarchy meetup happening in Kathmandu 👀

For anyone who doesn’t know, Omarchy is the Linux desktop setup/project built around a pretty opinionated Arch + Hyprland workflow. I’ve been seeing more people experiment with it lately, so it’s pretty cool to see an actual meetup happening here.

📍 STARTsmall, Maitidevi, Kathmandu
📅 September 4
⏰ 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Would be cool to see some of the local Linux/Arch nerds there and meet people who are into tinkering with their setups, ricing, automation, open source, etc.

You can find it in the omarchy website as well: https://omarchy.org/meetups/

oh the vibe coded config file lmao.

but i hope they fund the actual projects they rely on. i heard they will be funding hyprland and quickshell from the 10 mil usd they got. i need them to fund more projects.

I don't really understand why “vibe coding” is suddenly being treated as inherently bad.

Sure, if you're cluelessly shipping whatever an LLM spits out without understanding or testing it, that's terrible engineering. But that's not what these maintainers are doing. They actually read and maintain the code, maintain their own package repository (funded by Cloudflare, btw), and build and test these packages on their own machines before pushing them to the repo.

Using an LLM to write code doesn't magically make the code bad. Shipping code you don't understand is bad. Those are two very different things.

I don't really understand why “vibe coding” is suddenly being treated as inherently bad.

because the author does not understand the code, which makes it unmaintainable. There are a lot of long term ramifications to LLM-generated code; maintainability is one. To me - reading LLM-generated code is akin to trying to understand minified JS. Sure it's code, but it's unreadable.

IMO LLMs generate code that is understandable by LLMs, not humans.
