Yeah, the consequences of Bitcoin failing are so massive, that it's more a prepper issue, than anything involving digital money.
Yeah, but the Terms of Service have to be enforced, or nobody takes them seriously. 🤷🏻♀️
Love php, but Svelte has grown on me. Having fun making a test interface at work with VS Code extensions. Really easy to build.
He was originally on it. I had to block him for indecency. 😏
I just tolerate superhuman levels of suffering. 😂
I don't find it fun, even then. I have been in software development for nearly thirty years and have already enjoyed it less than cleaning the bathrooms.
I'm actually a big fan of HTML, which is why I like Svelte. It has the closest connection between the code and the resulting website. I used Python for Scriptorium, tho, to use the Pandas library and etc. Python parsing is really good. I hate the Jumble tech stack, to be honest. React sucks.
Yeah, I now need a model of the code base that also includes the proper way to interact with the LLM. I think gen-coders don't notice this, until the project reaches a certain size and they have to actively babysit the AI and explain seemingly obvious stuff to it, for hours. At the beginning, the issues are more generic and the AI does it all automagically. By coding day 55, the dev is typing in all caps. 😂
Yeah, I've been in software development since the 90s and it just gets increasingly grueling, and the hours just get longer and longer, and the development times shorter and the feature lists more crazy. AI is intensifying that, not reducing the workload. That's why most of the women have left and the number arriving has gone steadily down.
Experienced software engineer, when they hear someone is getting into vibe-coding
I have GitHub Copilot at work, but that gets paid by our customer.
I have cursor pro+, for $60/month.
The reason you are seeing vibe code projects getting abandoned everywhere is because vibe coding is _grueling, never-ending labour_, like all software development. It is not fun. It is work. And the less foundational knowledge and experience you have about software development, testing, systems architecture, symbolic logic, and DevOps, the faster it becomes work, and the faster the project becomes abandoned, or melts down into a buggy mess. It seems fun. At the beginning.
It just feels like nagging, to be honest. They see me release something and in the comments they report a bug (usually a feature request) about something else and whine at me. Or they tell me all the things they would change, to make it better for _themselves_. Do you not see that I just put in a week's worth of the time you would consider "free time" into getting this built? Of course, I have had no time to fix the other thing. How about you fork it and fix it yourself, for yourself, in _your_ free time? They act like this is easy. Oh, just have the AI do it? Oh really? Then what is stopping _you_ from having the AI do it? About 198 hours of brutal grinding away on a keyboard, probably.
I'm beyond caring, if people will use my stuff, at this point. I will use it. I build stuff I like. What happens, if they don't use it? Will they not-pay me even harder? LOL whatever.
Almost all bug reports I receive are actually feature requests. I'm a professional tester, and an unusually good one. If it's a real bug, I will find it and fix it, myself. If I haven't fixed it, yet, it's probably because I have a full-time day job, a family, a large house and garden, I am the sextant, I sing in the church choir, I arrange meetups, and I occasionally like to enjoy going for a walk, sleeping, or eating something other than bread dipped into microwaved coffee. Also, I am a volunteer and I'm working on 5 different large, complex projects _simultaneously_, as well has being the admin for my hosted systems and building a complex, automated test environment, for all of the projects, as well as being Nostr's only book publisher. If you don't like it, don't use it. **Thank you for not reporting.**
That's not the problem. The problem is that they often oversee superior logic and patterns and just do something like a junior programmer. They often don't understand, for instance, that Thing A is essentially the same as Thing B, in a completely different folder, so that they could be merged.
Feels like nothing.
Coding with AI requires memorizing the entire codebase, so that you can stop it from doing idiotic stuff.
