I don’t know that’s why I’m happy to discuss. When I have a clean codebase it’s super powerful and faster than I am. Then I start to use it more, more sessions and longer tasks less checking in between. It kind of works but later I’m in a d

I thought that the new models were super smart. Fable and Astra. They definitely outperformed their previous generations, but after a couple of weeks of heavy usage my codebase again is a stupid mess and there is no way out except me fixing

Yeah that was what I was most worried about when I read the top comment here. I found the use of language a feature not a bug. I don’t care how good it reads. If I can communicate with it concicely it’s enough to get my work done. I don’t h

But a lot of the research is not about 'loneliness' in particular, but rather how friends or social circles make you happier

by jwpapi 22d ago
I know the difference, but the studies I’ve heard of seemed to rather focus on the benefits of social circles, not analyzing 'loneliness' in itself. However I haven’t fully digged into all the evidence, but I hope you guy’s are ri

All these studies suggest loneliness makes you unhappy, however I feel happiest most when lonely and doing my thing and not with people. With people I just feel frustrated or weird, because I think so different than the others.

First of all that could be a causality ≠ correlation, but more importantly. Even if it might be the biggest predictor, it might not be the biggest lever. Still interesting train of thought that I might need, but the article is exaggerating

Fair point. I still think you could build single person cars that are more secure than traditional cars and use less space and energy

I’m thinking that since 2015. Like BMW C1 just with doors on the side and a bit more security. This would approx allow 3-4x as many travellers on a given route compared to traditional cars.

I think for small projects you need to scale the coders mental model, which afaik works in the fastest time, when you let ai do the exploration and planning, but coder needs to write the code itself and then ai verifies. That generates the

I don’t want to be a hater, but somehow i still keep throwing vacuum roboters away and prefer the manual machine. It somehow always ends up worrying me more than helping. Crashing, charging putting away, putting things away for it to work (

I’m seeing a lot of people that having that train of thought. I think that is a fallacy. I can understand that some LLM execution can be faster, but definitely not all. Agents need to explore, grep and get back up to speed to get context, i

I’m using NEO layout with all the coding keys on layer 3. I’m using both pinkys to jump into layer 3. I can therefore code a lot on home row. I use intellij with two two stroke keybinds (f.e. => Alt + E -> M => Extract Method) and

It’s exactly the opposite. On small projects I can use heavily because maintanability doesn’t matter on big projects you’ll end up in a deadlock. That’s why we have so many dead projects. People end up with 10x the needed LOCs and changes g

I don’t know but to me it seems a bunch of people should learn proper typing. There is no way in world that AI is faster in solving/writing problems than you are when you can maneuver your idea/vim properly and have proper domain

Can you add Zig?

I generally like refactoring too, like cleaning up at home, but if you open up a codebase that has been vibecoded and it seems like it’s a never-ending chain of bad practices leading to performance, security, maintenance problems. I’ve rece

Crazy how many engineers in here just say they are using another prompt on top. From my experience that makes things worse. It does abstractions, but the wrong ones. It overcomments, confusing future calls of the LLM. To me building on mult

Interesting so it’s supply chain and then you need to calculate how long it can be utilized and for how much you can sell it. Would love more calculations on that

To me it’s even simpler than that. You use so for exploration and review. Not for writing code.

The issue is that whilst the loops will initially lead to good results they will be less and less as context gets bigger and bigger and tougher to understand for human and AI. So it depends really on the size of your project.

by jwpapi 3mo ago
Whilst I understand cases in which duplication is preffered. I generally think abstractions are underused. Sometimes I would abstract something away that is only done once, not because i want to have less code, but because it allows me to s

Seems like I’m the idiot here. I had frugal stored as more than just economical. Thanks for your comments :/

by jwpapi 3mo ago
Also the explanations are too broad. F.e. Frugal - Economical with money or goods I don’t think frugal means economical it means rather over the top … Yeah I don’t know how to define it properly but I don’t need to learn new words if they d
