> I'm doing my best to go back to just coding as much by hand in my professional life while just switching to pure vibe coding in my private life.

isn't this backwards?


Nope. The stuff I need at home is just stuff I need. It just has to work for what I need it for. The development is basically interact with it through the UI and tell the agent what the bugs are until they're ironed out and then I never look at the code. True vibe coding. At work I need to make sure the system properly works and is maintainable and I need to understand it, and I'm sick of reading Claude and processing information from the wrong end in way that's really suboptimal for my own understanding.

Meh, the rules for what an "X sandwich" refers to tends to differ by types of sandwiches. In terms of normal sandwiches, an "X sandwich" does indeed refer to X being in between two types of bread, like a chicken sandwich, or an ice cream sandwich, or a knuckle sandwich, etc. But on the other hand, sometimes an "X sandwich" refers to two things sandwiching some other thing, like a compliment sandwich — where you sandwich criticism between two bits of compliments, or a croissant sandwich — which refers to a sandwich that uses a sliced croissant as the bread. So calling it a "brain sandwich" works fine I think

the latter only exists because of this misunderstanding.

Besides don't most people refer to the croissant in substitute for sandwich "ham and cheese croissant"?


yeah, let's all be stupid together

> spaghetti code wow, that's a term i haven't heard in a minute. almost makes me nostalgic for all the human-made slop we had to deal with

At least spaghetti code had one saving grace: whoever wrote it could only make so much of it before they gave up.

> If the LLM went away tomorrow I'd still know how to do most things in Linux, set up my opnsense router, reinstall xcp-ng, do everything in docker, and a boatload of other things that would've been so much more tedious to learn before an LLM.

This makes sense, but i'm assuming you have some sort of technical background to begin with? I imagine people that have been around pre-LLMs would be better equipped for not only prompting the LLMs for accurate information, but also internalizing that information. I wonder if the post-LLM generation would be the same.

: Though I imagine that there's going to be a cutoff date for people born before a certain point pre-LLMs too. Old people rn seem to be much more blindly accepting of whatever the LLMs spit out than younger adults.


This I agree with. But it goes for people's attention spans due to social media, hopelessness because of the insane top-heavy economy and climate change, and a whole load of other stuff piled on top of it all. I feel really bad for the kids these days. There are of course ways to prevent kids from using AI but I bet it'd work as well as preventing kids using social media (they'll just find a way around the rules).

i dunno but i certainly am more intrigued now

Resume: https://github.com/derpyzza

Email: derpyzza@gmail.com

Interested in low level dev, embedded dev, graphics programming, game engine dev, and backend dev, but willing to try out almost anything :)


kinda. there'd still be a lot less demand for software devs than there used to be, a lot of people would still be jobless/would have to pivot to some other career.


there's https://pirateface.co/ which is like huggingface but distributed via torrents
