Wow, just found out music generation trough Suno through as Snek member (thanks new friend!).

It's amazing. First, I did want to amaze a friend and did something I doubted if it was a good idea but I extracted 15 years of his reddit history and gave Gemini the huge jsonl file and let it generate two songs about the positive aspects of his life. The songs were gorgeous. While the background music was very familiar of one of the songs, they were due the high amount of content specified to him very unique.

Success. Friend liked as well.

Then, in the end of the evening I had some frustrations just because of life in general. So, i started to write a document with some struggles over the last seven years. They're all connected but I was never really able to put it under words. I asked Grok (the most humane LLM) to connect the dots and write a song with those lyrics. I implemented them into Suno. Created several aggressive rap versions, and then some euro dance / hands up versions (groove coverage style) with kinda vibes my personality. Both actually do weirdly enough.

Suno gave me credits for 500 songs for around 10 euro, I understand why 500, because I already made 20 variations! I almost LOVE them all.

I just realize how hard other industries are hit, or will be hit, as hard as ours.

While I really hated the vibe coder without knowledge, I am now doing exactly the same with music and have so much fun. And as vibe coder who really likes his creations because he can't do it himself and has some lack of knowledge, me like this music too with probably the same reason; lack of knowledge, inventing something 'new'.

It's btw not allowed to prompt into the `style` box "Eminem" or something. So I used Grok to describe concise (since the style box only allows 1000 chars) the artist with the right style i wanted to have. Learned more about the genres I listened to.

So, I found some piece with the unknowledgeable (why i this not a valid word?) vibe coders and wish them all their happiness with their fabrications.

A vibe coder will maybe never be a programmer, I will never be a producer. But that does not mean we can't make some awesome stuff.

I think everyone has a kinda life story and it could be nice for yourself to make a song about it to process something, turn it into something beautiful.

10 Things I Wish I Knew as a Junior Developer

After a few years in tech, I’ve realized that most growth doesn’t come from new frameworks — it comes from mindset shifts. If you’re just starting out, here’s some advice I wish someone had drilled into me early:

You’re not competing with anyone but your past self.
Forget comparing your code to that genius on your team who breathes JavaScript. You’ll get there — and faster if you focus on consistent growth over ego.

Google is your best mentor.
Asking questions is fine, but make them good questions. Try solving things first. Seniors love helping, but they respect those who’ve clearly done their homework.

Readable > Clever.
Fancy one-liners might make you feel smart, but clear variable names and simple logic make you a great teammate. Code is for humans first, machines second.

Reviews aren’t attacks.
A pull request comment isn’t criticism — it’s collaboration. Listen, learn, and keep the good discussions going both ways.

Never fake knowing something.
“I’ll check and get back to you” will earn you way more respect than pretending you know the answer. Engineering thrives on honesty.

Think before you type.
Rushing code just to “finish it fast” often leads to rework. Taking time to plan saves you more time later than you’d imagine.

Document like someone will use it tomorrow.
Because someone will — maybe you. Nothing feels worse than debugging your own undocumented code months later.

Soft skills aren’t optional.
People remember how you made them feel, not how you formatted your code. Be kind, patient, and reliable. Those qualities get you rehired.

Run toward the scary stuff.
That weird legacy code? The new API nobody wants to touch? Take it on. Growth hides in discomfort.

Keep learning, even when your job doesn’t require it.
Your company won’t future-proof you — you have to do that yourself. Read, build side projects, and stay curious.

At the end of the day, being a great developer isn’t about knowing everything — it’s about always being willing to learn.

apparently "cure for depression" posts are all clips of animals or babies that literally don't know any better that any trust they extend to someone will get them slapped and abused for dumb useless shit and any help they extend to someone will get them manipulated and exploited for their good graces

twilio: https://twilio.com/en-us/... SMS Pumping Risk Score is free for north america

"Twilio doesn't recommend using SMS Pumping Risk Score for US or Canadian phone numbers, as these regions are generally not targeted by SMS pumping fraud."

welp i guess if i was doing non-us it might be useful

My hoster doesn't accept my passport for expiry date. Who do they think they are? The freaking government? All data matches with what they have in their system so give me the access that is declined because YOU changed authentication requirements.

Do I have to get myself a new passport to get my server up and running again fuckers? You really want to have my server down paid for, for weeks, because something YOU did?

For a long time, I vouch for non-2FA because I expect it to be against me earlier than being a benefit. Now, I have the mail server down. I need to login to repair it. I login and out of nowhere: 2FA. It sent the code to my e-mail. Ok, I'm fucked. So I call their phone number and that said "Sorry, we can't respond in person because of the high load (smth like that)". Well, this is an issue that an automated bot won't fix for sure.

This server isn't fixed anytime soon. But the 2FA, I knew it! Please make it optional and don't force it on users. Through e-mail is a bad idea by design, do a SMS or something, something that is not depended on the hosting services.

I find it weird getting countless rejections saying they prefer other candidates who are 'better'. What the fuck, is the market flooded with top tier talent or something? I already have an impressive resume and apparently it's not enough.

That's the market these days. Not even an interview. Straight out rejected.
