  • Why would experienced devs join a vibe-coded project that barely works to overhaul it? Most of the time it’d be quicker and easier to start a new project from scratch with the same goals but coded competently.

    You’re bending over backwards just to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse for vibe-coding. But unfortunately, “plausible-sounding” isn’t the same as “plausible”.

    Vibe coding might be “good enough” for a tiny private project for someone who doesn’t know how to code and isn’t interested in learning. But LLM’s aren’t good enough to build usable architectures.

    And all publicly available human-created code was already trawled years ago, and the creation of more is slow. LLM’s can’t get significantly better at coding by just throwing more data into their training because there is no more data left that isn’t already in the training.




  • I was there almost 15 years and it is mind-meltingly toxic compared to lemmy.

    And yet it’s fristratingly addictive at the same time.

    Sometimes I have to go back to ask a question on r/skyrim mods and I always make the mistake of doing a bit of scrolling. Thankfully I always catch myself 20-30 minutes in, but that’s still time out of my day that I don’t consoder well spent.

    Lemmy has no algorithm to feed that addiction, and I really appreciate it


  • You get the oddball standout asshole from them on occasion.

    That being said, I don’t think they pop up at a rate that’s abnormal compared to the other big servers. Though their assholes have a specific attitude that you can kinda tell they’re from Blahaj without looking, though I can’t put my finger on what exactly that is.

    Then again, assholes from Lemmy.ml also have commonalities, and I assume the same from sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world. Maybe it’s them catering to sexual minorities that makes them stick out, but again it’s really hard to explain what’s different
