There’s always fraud…

Find a way to borrow against or short your technical debt and buy a small country.

Recently I roo-coded a node.js MVP without knowing too much about Node, but something about JS/CSS/HTML although it’s years ago I last used it.

I got something working decently by:

• Make a project plan and use cases
• Take (very) small steps
• Commit often
• Throw away bad attempts
• Make test cases
• Hand edit from time to time, especially CSS stuff.

Would I have been able to fling something together by reading some node.js guides and using stack overflow yes, would it have taken around the same time yes, but without test cases and documentation. Do I think vibe coding is the best thing since sliced bread no!

They use the UK way, where you film your private parts and then they can decide where you fit in.

I saw a post, added a relevant wiki link, and then my comment was deleted, and that’s fair enough as I didn’t read the rules beforehand.

To reduce the constant barrage of mansplaining :-) I suggest adding a sticky top level comment (or something better), or some sort of filter before a comment is added if possible.

I like this one

But you are missing out on the Stör memes, and all the ich_iel posts.

I will confess that I don’t get the ones about German politicians.

Go back in time and buy Apple stock when it was $20 and sell when it’s $40

And then assign an int to a string just to mess with the interpreter.

I am more into spaces, but as long as the indentation is done consistently i can tolerate tabs.

Breaking news: New Delhi just discovered AGI, she is called Chetana…

I would say you answered yourself, it will take years before AI is good enough as a reliable real-time translation.

And the current LLMs have a tendency to hallucinate combine that with mistranslations and lack of the nuances you mention.

When I think of LLM hallucinations this Monty Python skit comes into mind:

LGTM 👍

!it’s from the movie Runaway 1984!<

Hear me out, what about using JSON to store the configuration in the Python backend?

I’ve finally made the choice and filtered trump posts, it took a while to figure out how Eternity does it.

I still watch Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel.

Cool, good to know.

I wrote a script to do backups on a ESXi it uses Busybox’s ASH, one thing I learned after spending hours debugging my scripts was that ASH does not support arrays so you have to do everything with temporary files.

It took a while for me to get it, but it still read ngnix as “n.g. -nix” in my head.

On that note it’s interesting to see the stats on how many that have been arrested and tried for writing “wash me” in the dust.

The accused was fined one car wash for writing “wash me” on the defendant’s car.
