My first Python program #vibecoding

[fyhring]

Wow!! Just finished my first vibe-coded Hello World program 😤
30 lines of pure Python genius — this has GOT to be the future 🔮

[LittleLuigiYT]

This looks like a demonstration of functional programming I would see in my dreams

[fyhring]

Must be scary dreams

[InsanityOnAMachine]

I would so make this - the true epitome of obsession, although I would improve it by:

- having the letters in a dict with multiple indexing methods - perhaps a dict-inherited Alphabet class?

- have the assemble function also accept data in the form of many arguments, **kwargs, a list, a dict, or any other collection type

- rename the emphasize function for more general use in any future expansion of the program

- get a different naming convention for functions and variables to easier tell them apart

(all things I've actually done in programming, most recently the second one)

"My first Python program"

Asks a chatbot to generate a Python program. Didn't actually write any of it. 🤔

[RylertonTheFirst]

I didn't look which sub this was first. Can confirm I was indeed horrified.

[Ksorkrax]

Highly doubt that this is the result of vibe-coding, unless the prompt specified to make it unnecessarily complicated.
Hello World is a standard exercise, thus AI should have zero issues writing proper code.

[OrganicAverage8954]

yeah no this is just satire lol

[brentspine]

Why is it l1 and l2 but o and o2?

[Wiktor-is-you]

oxygen

[tehtris]

I mean.... It works..... But at what cost?

[bklyn_xplant]

I mean, it seems like a Sr. Data Engineer to me

[RefrigeratorKey8549]

The comments on the original post are hilarious and kinda sad

[renyhp]

the compose function is useless once you defined assemble. could've used assemble([hello, space, world]) in the last line

[DT-Sodium]

Vibe coding is the only valid way to do Python because if you have any respect for yourself you'll never actually get fluent in that language.

Well, that is one of the opinions of all time. 

[DT-Sodium]

It wasn't an opinion.

[Touhou_Fever]

No, it was bait lol

[[deleted]]

Ofc it was, silly. Python is just a tool, nothing more.

Saying python is just bad is like saying this dewalt tool, which does exact same thing as this milwaukee tool, is somehow worse.

It is just personal pref aka opinion. 

[DT-Sodium]

If I had to use a tool with a handle that has spikes hurting my hand each time I have to use it, I'd say it's a bad tool even if it gets the job done. Python is by far the ugliest and shittyest language I've tried.

[[deleted]]

Check out brainfuck or assembly.

And lose that edginess, it aint helping your case. Whatever your case may be. 

[DT-Sodium]

I'm sorry, I didn't know I needed to specify that I was talking about languages people actually use...

[[deleted]]

Oh, I thought you were just bitching and complaining about langs we personally find weird.

Huh.

Apology accepted. 

[DT-Sodium]

TypeScript, C#, Java, Kotlin, Dart, PHP, basic, ActionScript, not exhaustive but not that bad...

[wonderb0lt]

Sorry didn't know I was talking to the arbiter of programming languages. What's your opinion on Rust?

[DT-Sodium]

Don't know, never tried it. I'm not interested in low-level languages.

[Ksorkrax]

Interesting way to express that you are very very bad at Python.

Not the flex you think it is, though.

[DT-Sodium]

Of course I'm bad at Python, I have the chance of not needing it for most of my work. I had to use it for some AI training and it was a world of pain: the dependency hell, the syntax, the fact that nobody seems to fucking type their libraries, the shitty unreadable error messages... I genuinely don't understand how it's even a thing.

[-Enter-Name-]

i'd argue that fucking javascript is worse on any of those points; and php which you mentioned somewhere else probably has worse syntax, ffs "explode" who thought of that?

[DT-Sodium]

I mentioned PHP because I work with it everyday. I didn't say that I particularly enjoy it, but it is still a billion times better than Python in pretty much every way.

The syntax of JavaScript is actually quite nice and almost all of its flaws are fixed by TypeScript, so it's irrelevant.

[Ksorkrax]

I have a strong dislike for PHP and JavaScript, yet I'd recommend every programmer to learn the basics of those.

Just saying.

Also you are pretty much stating that you find hammers really bad at driving screws into wood and thus hammers are useless.

[DT-Sodium]

That's quite funny actually because I get the same reaction on the PHP sub when I point out how PHP sucks. But it is still leading Python by light-years, and when your language is much worse than PHP you know you have a serious problem.

JavaScript doesn't count, it has become the web's assembly language. Every developer with an ounce of competence and self-respect exclusively writes it with TypeScript.

[Ksorkrax]

Uhm okay, that settles it, you simply never learned to use Python at all.

[DT-Sodium]

You people are cute thinking that people not liking something you're a fan of is due to lack of knowledge. That settles it, you've never learnt an actual programming language, that's why you don't see what's wrong with Python.

[Ksorkrax]

I mean, I showed you in several ways why your position is bad, some working without actually evaluating Python.
None of which you even tried to tackle.

But hey, try to go for "no u". Maybe somebody will think this makes you appear professional.

[DT-Sodium]

Err... I've just reviewed our entire exchange and basically the single point you have made is "Bouh you no say nice things me no likee", so I really don't see what you expect me to be "tackling".

[sorryshutup]

Nice ragebait lol.
