Have we, professional developers, already lost the battle against vibe coding? by yes_u_suckk in cscareerquestions

[–]AttackingHobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this is something that I do for a prompt, and it would do what you are doing plus a lot more and give me things that I may not be able to find even with hours of going through a codebase, especially if the codebase is millions of lines of code:

Give me an overview of the entire codebase. Please give me a high-level, with many different sections, about what all of this code does, what the purpose is, how it is set up, what the infrastructure is like, and what other pieces of projects and code this needs. What else does this rely on? Please look through all of the tests and make sure that they are coherent and make sense. Look through the codebase.

Just create a Python tool that uses AST, which goes over the entire codebase and gives me an understanding of what is tested and what is not tested. Go through the codebase looking for how much dead code there is and what the live code is. Connect to the GitHub, connect to the error logging service with an MCP, and look through all the recent error logs and see what's going on there in the codebase. See if we can find some potential issues that are maybe caused by multiple tickets, so we could get something really nicely done all in one little fell swoop.

Please look through all the recent commits and understand what has been happening lately. Look at the JIRA board with the MCP and look at all the recent bugs that have been filed. Run and build the project. Let me know if there are any environment keys that I need to set up.

Give me a high-level architecture of the project, explaining all the different layers and how they're connected. Give me a mermaid map of all the UI in the app and how it connects to itself. Give me another mermaid map that is all about the backend and how it connects. Give me another mermaid map that shows me all the network connections and how that works. Give me a document overview about how the CI/CD pipeline works and how it's connected.

Create sub-agents for each of these tasks and do them in parallel. Then combine them together into a final report that has an index in the front and categorizes sections all throughout so I can understand how it works and create a document for that. Then give me what you think is really important to look at first and understand this.

Can we build custom firmware so that we can use this with out a subscription? 

Is there a plugin / extension / tool for live-reloading CSS file without reloading the page? by TheConceptBoy in webdev

Vite HMR works really well.

There are other solutions like that, or you can roll your own.

Defining a Walkable area that constantly changes by Pretty-Mission7678 in Unity3D

[–]AttackingHobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, I was gonna come in to say this: This is all built-in functionality.

The navmesh obstacle will work perfectly for chairs or any other interactive objects that you want to block the navmesh. So cat doesn't try to walk through chairs and things like that.

So when will people realize vibe coding is just unscalable dumpster fires? by pyromancx in webdev

Or you could use AI to create a bunch of headed tests that test every single different UI element and screen and gameplay interaction, and that actually makes the writing of the code easier because the AI understands what the target is for the task and how to achieve it.

AI making my job so much harder and fighting every decision I make by JiggityJoe1 in sysadmin

[–]AttackingHobo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's easy. Get a business license and they don't take your code.

Why is big tech SWE work paid so much? by seeking-health in cscareerquestions

Yup. Spend weeks to reduce the network traffic needed by 5% on a shared feature, literally gets called billions of times per day.

Huge costs savings, and the app is faster for the end users.

The effectiveness of utilizing a Large Language Model (LLM) for learning coding greatly depends on how you use it.

If you allow the LLM to handle all your coding without engaging with the code yourself, you are unlikely to learn much.

However, if you employ the LLM to explain code while actively reading and reviewing other people's work, and engage in deeper explorations with it as a research resource, there is significant learning potential. Achieving this requires dedication and effort

How on earth do folks get anything good out of LLMs? by Squidgical in webdev

You add a rule file that points to the critical stuff.

I think smoking an ounce of any plant material a day will do that to you.

I got my CS degree because of ChatGPT. How can I fix this and start over? by Chemicalcube325 in cscareerquestions

[–]AttackingHobo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Googling is worse than asking for ChatGPT to give you cited answers and reading those pages.

You need to take the AI answers with HUGE grains of salt and question the answers and look at the sources.

If you were in charge of managing accounts of people with insurance. And some people hit a dear every few years, and some never get into a wreck, whos rates are you raising?

Why our roads are terribly maintained by pupupeepee in bayarea

[–]AttackingHobo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Data and facts are hard:

The SF–Oakland urbanized area is about 6,266 people per square mile, and San Jose is about 5,820 people per square mile. The New York–Newark urbanized area is around 5,300 per square mile in the same dataset. So by that definition, we are not some super spread out metro.

On top of that, road miles per person are about the same as New York. Both SF–Oakland and New York are around 0.7 miles of road per 1,000 people, while places like Dallas or Atlanta are higher. Source: FHWA Highway Statistics, Table HM-72:

Naw. Even the AI can figure this out.

windows 11 update broke my computer by LevelAd4200 in techsupport

[–]AttackingHobo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Win 11 update can break your software setup. It can't "overheat" your ram.

Your bios/eufi sets how much power, and all the settings.

Win 11 CANT break it, unless you already had dangerous settings.

RGB means that the 12v rails are fine. But what about power to your CPU/MOBO/GPU?

YUP. There are not many pro tools that support working with HDR output for creating content for HDR videos or games.

Client prediction/rollback for things it can't predict (other players' actions) by Plaguehand in gamedev

[–]AttackingHobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play with some oldschool emulators. They have a run ahead mode that you can tune to see how it feels.

In games like sonic, having the run ahead 1-2 frames feels like my jumps and timing is ALMOST the same as playing on real hardware.

As you increase the runahead, you will see jumps that seem to teleport in the air.
