I mean, the stuff that goes into the commit is good. There's a lot of work between initial prompt and commit, and it's not just prompts and writing the prompts is also a science.
Yeah, I just notice everyone happily vibe-coding and the stuff that comes out is garbage, but the stuff that went in was usually also garbage. Reminds me of the website generators. They were supposed to mean that anyone can build a website according to their own ideas, but it turns out that most people's ideas are stupid. I use LLMs, too, but the stuff that comes out is actually really good. Works smoothly, does precisely what it should and never does what it doesn't, has orderly, readable code and useful tests, etc. That's the prompt engineering part and that's just more engineering. We just end up doing the same stuff, as before, but much faster.

That's not even a dig, it's more an aspect of time spent and size of team. The largest Nostr team (#GitCitadel) can produce the same sort of things, in the same time, in the same quality, as two devs working in full time. Or, as we do it, we can produce twice as many things, in parallel, in twice the time, because the efforts heavily overlap. So, we can produce _and maintain_: * Alexandria * Sybil * Aedile * GitRepublic

Having my own clients has cut down on my whining, as I can just fix things that are broken, myself.
Mostly, I just want the pretty flowers. Might also add a plum tree, for more flowers. We have two big apple trees and a cherry tree, so I don't actually need more apples.

Yeah, my MIL already explained it all to me. She grew up on a farm with an orchard.
Yeah, but shit happens and I still ended up relatively wealthy and well-situated, and I don't actually care about money, so oh well. But it cured me of thinking that anyone around me is more clever than I am, even if they are more intelligent and highly-qualified than I am. I am sensible enough to surround myself with very sensible people, who keep me from turning my life into a total circus and who create a social safety net for me, and now I'm wise enough to know when to ignore them. What I didn't appreciate, when I was younger, is how much sensible people like having me around. I always felt like a burden. Everyone so similar and then there's me, off being my Manic Pixie Girl self. Manic Pixie Girls are fun and stuff just seems to happen, when they're around. We can't all be sensible.
Well, I wanted to buy $3000 worth of Bitcoin, when I first heard about it, in 2010, but everyone around me had such a meltdown about it, that I decided to be sensible, for a change, and buy silver instead. Everyone was extremely relieved. Finally taking some good advice, instead of just being my crazy, impulsive self. For years, they were like, ...and then she wanted to spend all of her birthday money on Bitcoin! Just one crazy idea, after another! 😂 They've all shut up about that, now.

Yeah, it seems like a crazy idea, right, but we have a chestnut tree and an apple tree nearly two-stories high, in the backyard, because my BIL dug seeds in the ground 20 years ago, on a whim. 😂🤷🏻♀️ Fruit trees can grow from seeds. Who knew?
I was thinking about this, while potting plants, this week. I really wanted an apple tree, and I wanted one *now*, so I just went and cut open an organic apple and planted three seeds in a flower pot. Totally stupid, right, as I could wait and go buy an apple tree on some other weekend and quickly see results. My MIL thought it was retarded. She's like, but you won't have a real tree for years! But I don't mind waiting 10 years for a tree. I just really wanted to plant it, immediately, so that I can cross "plant apple tree" off my mental To Do list. Just have to water and feed it, for a decade or so. No problem. I think this is typical Crazy Inventor personality, where you'll suddenly need to _do something_ and you just go for it and totally sperg out. 😂 I always do that with gardening, cooking, relationships, programming, etc. All in or wander off.
I married young and had kids young, before I was sensible enough to know better, as I lack impulse control. Same reason I bought Bitcoin and quit college to help build Nostr. The combination of low impulse control and a bizarrely-low time-preference feels like a superpower, sometimes, to be honest. In hindsight, I always think, Wow, that was a good decision. At the moment, everyone is like, Are you some sort of an idiot, or something? 80 IQ 🫡
Well, I vibe-rewrote your vibe-coded part and then hacked it and vibe-refactored it and then spent 6 hours going line-by line, manually, to get it to actually work and testing it, so thank you. Would have otherwise taken 16 hours. It actually came out so nice that I might make it a separate component, to spare everyone else the same pain and suffering. 😂
Silberengel @Silberengel - 23h
Well, me, basically. 😂

Who will make it: People who seek thrills and risk People with extremely low time-preference People who are religious Women who have no friends
Humans weren't designed to desire kids, they're designed to desire sex and the sex results in kids. We're having to evolve to handle reliable contraception, and much of humanity is not going to make it.

The crazy thing about Nostr is that there's increasingly no qualitative or quantitative difference between the $500,000 dollar project and the $5,000 project, except that the $5,000 project admins take their laptops with them on vacation.
Close second. Try to keep up.
We'll be able to have this discussion on GitCitadel.com #thoon.
