What really is Vibecoding? Like where do we draw the line?

My general take is: vibe code is when someone without any knowledge produces code with AI without looking at the code.

But I have done that myself with small things, landing pages, throw away programs.

Can you be a vibe coder in one language and not in another language?

What if I know what the code does, but I'm not fluent on its syntax?

Let's say I write a C program myself, and ask AI to rebuild it in Go, will I be a C Coder, but a Go VibeCoder?

If the best practice is not the default and needs to be remembered and applied explicitly, it‘s just horseshit design.

Canada is so owned by China's climate scam the only jobs for software development in Canada are carbon credits or some green energy nonsense... sigh how is this not a dystopia already. every industry and sector is shrinking but Canada keeps pumping more subsidies into the climate scam so it's the only thing that exists now

maybe we'll economic collapse and I can retire but I wanted to get more money first just in case

macros are ugly but I guess I can get over it

my standards just keep decreasing and decreasing. maybe at some point I'll actually understand rust

problem is... macros are DECLARATIVE. so probably once I start I'll just make a macro of everything and it'll look like lisp/perl or something. variable length arguments lol yay at least that basic feature xD

I also hate typing

I watched a YouTuber that had thousand hours of experience I'm vibing and was like, wow, he sucks. My way is like hundred times more effective. How he works would result in many hours for sure.

Do you guys have vibe coding tips/tricks you swear by to get good results?

france PM got kicked out. The new PM saluted his "bravery".

The dude knew for years kids were getting raped in his town's primary school and did nothing. Yeah super brave

I'm rewriting this horrendous piece of software that's like, real ugly, I mean, seriously ugly. A non stop mess of global variables and aliases and logical tantrums and fuck I know what else...

That's until today.

Today, after a ton of time spent clenching 2k LOC of ASS into readable 1.2k LOC, all tests passing, and passing faster if I may...

Then came a horrifying realization...

It downed on me, harder than a naked superman for a young Louis Lane

Tha maybe, just maybe, if them codes 's só shitty then probably so is them tests

So I tried deleting a obviously important conditional and to my dismay... oh boy, tests kept passing

The job market nowadays.. sheesh. I feel like Son Goku having to fight Frieza.

The more i commit to taking care of my parents the more i fight insecurities from inside. What if I lost my job ? I can cope personally or discard any other person but my parent cant support themselves hence the insecurity.

hey, Tech job expecially is never guarantee anything can happen at anytime, then the pressure and cutting downs this have happen time and again which makes me think what is happiness for me?

I have desired to do this since I was young and saw how they worked hard to make sure I become who I am today, for me I am glad I could care for them and make them happy at their age now and in the other side I battle with insecurity which makes me wonder if I can say am happy.

I am getting to the conclusion that true happiness depends to the degree you decide to ignore uncertainties but yet plan against it which is crazy, am confused but all I know is if happiness depends on feelings then mine fluctuates between when am struggling to fulfill my responsibilities and when am ok to do it, it crazy am confused 😕

if I keep practicing burnout will I get burnout resistance. like level up. expertise at conquering 🤔

that's how muscles work, so?

efficient or elegant

choose neither

DevRant is slow today.

I came in like a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagging baaaaaaaaaaall, I never hit so haaaaaard in loooooooooove

lmao.

Diary of an obsessed company.

So at our company, the interview loop includes Sudoku.

Why?
Because if you can’t solve a puzzle with numbers, how are you going to survive when product throws 47 Jira tickets at you with conflicting priorities?

We know you will want to ask:
“Uh… what does Sudoku have to do with shipping features?”

Our response to you is:
“Well… if you put a 3 where a 7 should be, the whole board collapses.
Same thing happens if you deploy on Friday at 4:59pm.”

Next:
We interviewed a candidate
He solved the puzzle.
We hired him.
He still deploys on Friday and can't close tickets. 😔😔😔

🔥 Fire him!!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹

So it turns out `futures` is a fucking liar and senders don't get an extra buffer slot in the sense that an additional message could be kept off-stack while the sender continues. The "extra buffer slot" they are talking about is the message resting inside the blocked Send future, which is to say, the fact that the sender can "block" is presented as a means of storage. Why does this community feel the need to complicate things? The analogy with the stack was perfectly fine. You wouldn't call a rendezvous channel a 1-item buffer just because the item actually has to be on the stack before it is sent and will stay there if the sender needs to wait.

there will be no abstractions. I will just literally write everything out, every single path. no generics, no reusability

I don't think rust is made for reusability. every time I try I corner myself somewhere and confused myself

JavaScript is such king of reusability ngl. so sexy

but ok I can put in a lot of literal effort to touch every little itty bitty. let's see how it goes. new philosophy. touchy touchy

My wife can't work because they won't give her a visa.

They won't give her a visa because I "don't earn enough" (I billed 8000 euros / month last year).

Are right-wingers retarded? Yes.

If you'd let her work she wouldn't need me to sustain herself you dumb bitches

Might be controversial here, but to me there’s two types of software engineers

- those who like to spec everything before, fully document their approach
- those who start with rough, broken code and carve the stone through time

And I believe it’s two irreconcilable styles, so when both are present in a company, it necessarily ends up with a war

i keep shitting and farting so hard

Trying to measue google one tap login failures in mobile app in app browsers. I can't even comprehend where to add logging or reproduce the fucking issue against a test environment. because I can't change the url in an in app browser
