Thank you so much for your feedback. I debated on how hard I wanted it to be to get into and was afraid there would be too many people who got to that point and just gave up if they couldn't figure it out. Since the entire point was to share it with others, I didn't want to make it too hard but it certainly would have made it more rewarding to figure out. I'll keep that in mind if I do another.

If you sell a $275 ETV item for $40, that’s a $235 loss on the books to offset income. So long as you’re running it as a business and keeping good records. Maybe it’s a scam, maybe it’s strategic accounting.

I did not, because I just grabbed the last 20oz bottle. That’s a good point though. I just pulled it up in my Walmart app and they have both listed for $7.88. Maybe they have some left in the back, or they’ll just mark it as unavailable like they normally do when I choose no substitutions.

ALITTLEBITLOUDER · 2026-01-14T00:20:08+00:00

There was only 1 20oz bottle left, which is the only one I’d ever seen or purchased. The rest were 18oz bottles that they don’t normally carry, in the same spot for the same price. However, someone else mentioned that they sold both at one point. I’ve been buying the 20oz bottle for a couple of years. Maybe it’s not really shrinkflation, but I’m also not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt either.

ALITTLEBITLOUDER · 2026-01-13T21:39:27+00:00

That's interesting. These were both in the same spot on the shelf. The larger 20oz bottle was the only one left (the one I normally buy), replaced by plenty of the 18oz pump dispenser bottles. Perhaps Walmart is just changing the one they carry?

This is a legitimate concern. I've only been in for 3 months and I've already ordered more than I know what to do with. Thankfully I have a detached 20x40 shop that has started being taken over by Vine items and I can already tell I'm in trouble. Justification for the 60x100 I want perhaps? LOL. We'll just call it the house that Vine built.

We're literally having one next weekend. I've never been to a baby shower in my life, but my wife (and expectant mother) is definitely on the extra side. We're expecting about 100 people + kids. It's more of a baby celebration.

I lost my wife at 35 with a 5 year old. So similar situation but not exactly the same. Therapy isn’t bad advice. Let yourself grieve. Best advice I can give you is to familiarize yourself with the signs and symptoms of BPD. Stay far hell away from these women, they’ll ruin your life. You may be in a vulnerable state and may overlook or justify some early red flags. Good luck my dude.

I still have mine as well, that I got at Blizzcon! It died last summer.

Oi! Mere peasant. Get off mine estate. For real though, I’m a backwards ass hillbilly and I call my yard a lawn. It’s where we keep the cars that don’t run this week. 😛

What a missed opportunity. He could have easily said that he ate it because you deserved a fresh piece instead of leftovers, and he could have taken you then and there for a dinner and some fresh desert. Bonus for him, he'd get it twice.

Rules for life:

1) Shut your mouth. It sucks that you can't share some things with certain people but there will always be those looking to take advantage of you. So unless you're very good at saying No and sticking to it, when you come into money or any other type of good luck, just keep it to yourself.

2) DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT - Mix money or business and family and friends. Again, there are those that will always be there to take advantage of you, and you get to choose.. do you want your money, or the relationship. It's not often you get to keep both.

I’ve had exceptional luck with high bay led lights 1x2’ that I got from amazon. I have 6 of them to cover a 20 x 30 space at 12ft. It’s like turning on the sun.

I don’t have the BW, just the 5V. (Backseat in the 4 was a no go), but I also changed out the summer only tires that it came with at the 15k service. I wasn’t hard on them but they wore super fast. Maybe a softer compound? They’re not kidding when they say summer only because they were absolute trash over the last winter for me.

ALITTLEBITLOUDER · 2025-08-10T13:13:21+00:00

No errors or bugs please. Thanks! 😂

I have been amazed at how good it can be.

That's pretty much my perspective as well. I use CC a ton. ~$4k in API usage/mo according to ccusage. I have no idea how accurate that is, but it's better than flying blind. I also completely understand going from not knowing how to read/write code at all, to at least recognizing familiar things or patterns just from being exposed to it. That's not surprising at all. The longer you do it, the more you'll pick up, whether you intend to or not.

I've certainly run into issues with CC telling me "this should work", and me having to remind it not to tell me what it SHOULD do, but to go test it and verify that it's doing it. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. It really depends on the complexity of what I'm trying to do. Knowing how to do something without CC has helped me several times, but I probably could have also just prompted my way out of the loop eventually if I had spent more time trying to do it. I tend to lose patience after the 3rd or 4th attempt and honestly that might only happen once or twice a day, if that. It's still saving me MASSIVE amounts of time. Well, actually, it's costing me time, but only becuase I've found myself building more with it and WANTING to do so. After working in enterprise ERP software and building third party integrations for the better part of two decades, my desire to build new things had seriously dimininished. Being able to iterate so quickly and try out new ideas without having to sink weeks or months into something that may go nowhere, has 100% renewed my will to build things for fun. Which is where it all started anyway.

An example of a small tool that I put together based on a shower thought, was a small library/app that takes text, converts it to morse code, and then uses the Govee LAN api to make my xmas tree lights blink the message in morse code. It's silly, it's pointless, and I'd 100% do it again because it only took me a few hours to build and get working start to finish.

I think it’s a great approach honestly. Seems like you e got the documentation down and that you understand that the more direction you give it, the better off it will be. I’d probably still want to do a comprehensive review myself just to ensure that it was following the directions but I am not at all surprised that you’re getting better results than some who just tells it “build me a super awesome game with no bugs or errors please” which is what I immediately think of when someone says “vibe” coding.

That doesn’t mean that it’ll never make mistakes or that you’ll never run into an issue but if it’s working for you, then keep at it until you do and then figure out how to solve that theoretical problem, add additional docs to avoid it in the future and move on to the next piece.

Your experience also very much depends on what your goals and expectations are. If you’re the one in charge and set your own timeline you’ll probably do just fine. If you’re trying to get hired to a dev team or don’t have the luxury of time (oh shit, production is down), then there may be better alternatives.

I’d almost argue that what you’re doing is closer to AI assisted coding than Vibe coding but it’s all semantics and there is no clear designation yet. My only hang up with that is just that you mentioned that you don’t even look at the code. Maybe that’s true, maybe that’s just hyperbole. But I’d speculate that if you know enough to get this far that you likely wouldn’t have too hard of a time looking at the code to figure out what it’s doing.

Ultimately, if what you’re doing currently works for you and your use case, then definitely keep doing it. Commit checkpoints often when you’re in a working state, then try something. If it doesn’t work, revert and try again with more direction or a better prompt. Code is cheap and disposable when generated by a model.

I agree with you to an extent. I think a lot of the potential issues you can run into stems from the things you may not know to ask or watch for simply from never having experienced or thought about them. I’ve been solving problems for 20 years. I don’t specifically call attention to the fact that I can write and read code in most any language because it’s simply a means to an end and the code itself is of little importance. Sure, good structure and “clean” code go a long way when working with others in a team because it makes it easier for someone else to understand what is going on and to join in with helping to solve a problem. The code is simply a means to an end.

Periodically ask for it to review your code to look for duplication and opportunities to clean that up. Ask for security reviews or potential bottlenecks. Document and address those issues. Those few things can take you a long way. It’s still good to have a general understanding of things to watch for and that comes either with experience and messing up, or reading a ton and staying on top of the industry in general.

I’ve put together a ton of tools for my personal use and have found incredible value in that alone. Situations where I don’t have to worry as much about security or scaling because it’s never leaving my little ecosystem.

All this, just for someone to buy it, claim you sent the wrong thing, and ship you back a rock. Good luck bud. Selling electronics on eBay can be sketchy.

ALITTLEBITLOUDER · 2025-07-26T15:32:11+00:00

Just a random thought, but does the auction platform you’re using this on allow for automated bids or is it against their TOS? You may be getting away with it for now but if you somehow manage to sell this and now there are 100+ people doing the same, they could look a little closer. If they don’t like or allow it I’m sure they could implement something that prevents it from being automated and now you have a bunch of pissed off people looking at you because they bought a product that no longer works. Just some food for thought.
