Replit went from a GREAT collaborative coding (/ developing; it had VCS, integration with deployment services...) to a burden of an AI-centric platform???

Horrible! What do you mean I can't set up an environment by myself? And I had to fiddle to find how to see the files, once it stopped "thinking", "trying", "failing" and "reading documentation" to create a simple Python playground I could've got with a couple clicks some years ago. 💀

I don't even want to see what happened to my old projects...

This was the first time the invasiveness of an AI implementation actually got in my way and made me lose more than the seconds it takes to press one or two close buttons.

Having cooled off a little, maybe it still is the great service I remember, but man... heaving to "ask" for a guessing tool to do what I already know how to do exactly... not a good thing.

manager is realizing im dogshot at my job and slow, rip

They discovered that they can put features behind a beta toggle and now everything is half-assed and hidden behind beta ffs.

bug with no steps to reproduce

logs show null pointer exception but doesn't have a stack trace to point a bad line of code

fuck jersey and jettycounts

There's only so much Lo-Fi music one can take on a normal coding day.

Programmers of today have replaced customly designed algorithms with off-the-shelf heuristics. They wander through packages and libraries and end up making something that is in no way viable to run in production.
(Paraphrasing Tesla)

Seriously, how many dependencies do a data science stack for some internal process needs? It would be fine of it was just an image compilation issue, but every other library nowadays needs a fucking subscription.
It makes sense when vendors want to bill you for using their neat library. It takes a lot of effort to develop those things.
But you better deliver something great and have a fucking good reason to make it an API instead of a self hosted or locally installed library.
Because it doesn't matter how much you've optimized your hardware to run your library, the network latency makes it much more expensive (in processor time alone!) to call an API and await a gRPC response. Oh, I can do async? No shit, Sherlock. Your fucking server cannot handle my load. Not without significant investment on a dedicated host and then we're back to square one.
Shit, its cheaper to run the thing on my side. "Oh, you can do self-hosted! We just need to make sure we have our digital rights management bloatware ruining the performance of everything!"

Just to make things worse, every other data science library nowadays is just a fucking distilled LLM. Those pieces of crap manage to be more unreliable than politicians.

Fuuuuck, the world is burning already and we're pouring fuel all over it with those fucking get-rich-quick "advanced API tools". Can't we just hire talented people instead of licensing a dozen vendors? But noooooo, everybody gotta be their own fucking boss because companies hate when their employees are happy and sabotage it all with RTO mandates.

Fuck, I need a drink. The enshittyfication has come for us, at last. May our end be quick as `sudo shutdown 0`.

I bet VSCode only added a central "disable all AI features" checkbox so that they can more easily ignore my preference and forcibly uncheck it on every update. If I had to go around hacking the editor to hide buttons and disable triggers, it would be a lot more work for them to break all those hacks.

that feel when you're comforted by nobody getting back to you

lol ad says “Xbox game pass is here to give you more” reality-“you are here to give more to Xbox game pass”

If you want to know what real vibe coding looks like:

That is a cool girl. lol

lol.

Little bit of a sigh of relief when the project manager says she's also annoyed with the client's chaos. Not just me being slow or incompetent.

Really gotta stop telling myself it's me. It ain't.

"Good morning" no longer a greeting

It's just a proof you've logged in for the day

(WFH)

Called the doctor this morning.
Hi. I'm running low on my sleeping pills and would like more.
Ok. I see that you haven't visited us for a while and would like a meeting before we can prescribe new ones. The next available slot is in three weeks.

Guess I stay awake until then.

omg tabloid are so dumb.

BREAKING: American woman uses chatGPT to pick lottery number and wins!!!!!!

They all have the same probability you fucktard that's the POINT

journalists should be IQ tested seriously

musician friend (or it isn't really just friend anymore) puts out a new album. tells me one of the songs are for me.

at the end there's an "I love you", and today I heard another one earlier on in the song, barely a whisper.

cute AF.

@retoor I am sick of devrant being slow as shit, I remember you had an alternative, post it here please so we can abandon this sloth of an app

Nothing worse than having to wrangle multiple coordinate systems for model files and your engine. Extra points when one is left handed and one right handed

I actually want to die

So glad I'll be gone from this client. Dev asks if he can go over sentry issues and gets told "no"
