  • I just tried vibe coding with Claude

  • I’ve never been able to program in anything more complex than BASIC and command line batch files, but I’m able to get useful output from Claude.

    Chatbots being deemed useful in tasks by people unqualified to make those judgments is a running problem.

  • I was not disparaging homemaking. Now, many people have to scrape together that labor AND do a paid job, which is obviously a degradation in quality of life.

    RE: rich country poor country - we have enough labor globally to make everyone happy and healthy globally. That quality of life is so different in different places is another symptom of the global system of economic serfdom.

  • verify with every output it produces.

    I agree that you can get quality output using these tools, but if you actually take the time to validate and fix everything they've output then you spend more time than if you'd just written it, rob yourself of experience, and melt glaciers for no reason in the process.

    prompt to restrict it from auto committing, auto pushing, and auto editing without explicit verification

    Anything in the prompt is a suggestion, not a restriction. You are correct you should restrict those actions, but it must be done outside of the chatbot layer. This is part of the problem with this stuff. People using it don't understand what it is or how it works at all and are being ridiculously irresponsible.

    repetitive sections

    Repetitive sections that are logic can be factored down and should be for maintainability. Those that can't be can be written with tons of methods. A list of words can be expanded into whatever repetitive boilerplate with sed, awk, a python script etc and you'll know nothing was hallucinated because it was deterministic in the first place.

    user tests.

    Tests are just as important as the rest of the code and should be given the same amount of attention instead of being treated as fine as long as you check the box.

  • There is still a substantial amount of working age people in that scenario. They just need to be allocated to jobs that matter instead of made up bullshit like for instance the vast majority of medical insurance employees. We have enough labor available that we could live in a straight up utopia but instead much of it is oriented to perpetuating economic serfdom.

    Think about it... We used to have a large proportion of people running households instead of working for money, but now we both have more automaton than ever and a higher percentage of people in the labor market, and we don't even work fewer hours.

  • They're the same people that copied code from stack overflow that you had to tell them how to actually fix every PR. The difference is the C suite types are backing them this time

  • producing subtly broken junk

    The difference between you and people that say it's amazing is that you are capable of discerning this reality.

  • The problem is the sub replacement birth rate of 1.53 per woman.

    This is not actually a problem, except we want to keep the completely unsustainable economic system unchanged.

  • Haskellers when someone boasts about Typescript's fake type system.

    Jump

  • It's more that nosql makes sense of you have very specific performance characteristics and can accept very specific constraints.

    Alternatively, you want to use a document db because you don't understand that delaying implementing schema integrity or implementing it yourself in the application layer instead of having it baked into your database will be more complex and slow you down in the long run. RDBMS isn't slower than a generic document DB.

  • How do you handle automatic deployment for websites?

    Jump

  • I haven't used forgejo but I imagine you'd set a runner to trigger on merge or push to your main branch that does any build steps (if needed) and copies the artifact to the directory you're serving

    how do you fit guitar practice into a dev schedule?

    Jump

  • Split keyboards, especially when the angles are adjustable, can let you get your hands/arms/elbows/shoulders positioned in a sustainable way. Getting a chair/desks where you can get the arm rests aligned well is good too.

  • Why did you slice the artist's name off the bottom? That's fucked up

  • I haven't touched PHP in like a decade but I don't remember anything as frustrating in my entire career as dealing with python package management.

  • Is it bad form to patch a dependency?

    Jump

  • If the dependency static links the library and doesn't use structs or classes defined in it for its interface then it is fine. If either of those are not true it is asking for trouble

  • Why? I haven't used it to verify, but my understanding is that similarly to JavaScript, it has evolved into a fully featured and ergonomic language. Is that incorrect?

  • RSS feeds are beginning to break once xslt support begins being dropped by browsers soon

    Jump

  • It's not zero effort at all. For XML(which RSS is) with xlst it is serving only 2 static files. The XML file with a reference to the xlst file, and the xlst file.

    The XML can be read without transformation by tools like RSS readers, but displayed with transformation into HTML for viewing in a browser with the xlst.

    You're saying it is easy to polyfill, but involving JavaScript at all completely breaks the (useful) paradigm

  • Why does the US put so much emphasis on high school and also nostalgia for high school?

    Jump

  • If you mean why is it so prevalent in media, it is because it is the last experience that almost everyone had in common so it is a touchstone
