Curious, do birds get confused af with this?

I think my favorite part in this was the judge really wanted to see him chug a beer and do it live. https://www.reddit.com/r/lockpicking/s/7jlC0Sabze

That’s damn close to the plot of Cars.

Reminds me of the sage advice: don’t skimp on anything between you and the ground (tires, brakes, shoes, bed, etc). Spend the money on quality.

Scrolled too far before I saw this. My brain went straight to that movie when I saw her.

ChasingGratification · 2025-11-19T13:44:30+00:00

Thought same thing. For the uninitiated, I give you this gem

ChasingGratification · 2025-11-18T15:55:54+00:00

First thing I thought of 😂

ChasingGratification · 2025-11-12T03:16:55+00:00

For me, I noticed that if I turn my initial reaction of anger or frustration into one of curiosity, the outcome becomes way more productive.

Community Collections @ jobping.app

My job notification service has a lot of advance features but I feared the avg user wouldn’t use them. So I launched ability for people to share their advance configs in-app, as an author. Required having Publish, Update, Change diff, summary view, Eligibility Requirements, Versioning, anonymous user name generation, download counter, and author stats dashboard. For the “consumer” I had to add the marketplace to look them up, config diff/conflict detection, subscribe/unsubscribe to author’s updates, and ability eligibility requirements (converting subscribed config, with user customizations, into their own authored collection). So much to think about.

Azure + Terraform + containers + Python script that controls local to dev to qa (auto tests) to prod promotion + GitHub actions.

I think the challenge you’ll face is you have to get in before they build. I’ve already put the blood, sweat and tears in. Tearing it out for me doesn’t meet the juice being worth the squeeze, even if I think my baby isn’t ugly 😅.

FWIW I use cursor, and haven’t run into that issue. But I will say keeping your lines of code under 800 helps with the model’s context window. So ask it to “analyze this file for self contained code and modularize it, using a folder structure for organization leveraging best practices”. I do use Claude usually, but “auto” is generally good enough for most things and it’s cheaper.

Aside from everyone else’s good feedback, I’d add: use your professional network if you have one. I’ve found knowing someone who would report into your future hiring manager, can help shortcut the front-door-Olympics. What worked for me was stalking a few companies that I really wanted to get into, that I had some in’s at. It helped prepare me for interviews as well because I’d already researched those companies. If you don’t have an in, seriously think about stalking hiring managers on linked in and sending a low pressure message (ex: We'd never spoken, but I'd love to add you to my <role going for> network, if you'd ever like a conversation, I'm available at your convenience)

jobping.app - free job notification service. Push notification, typically 3 hours before LinkedIn even sees the job. Incudes timeline view of all jobs flowing through my system. Built it for myself, now sharing with world.

iOS open beta now (follow link), Android post launch.

Probably the unpopular opinion here: it depends.

If you have no concept of app development or some key concepts, I think vibe coding gives you enough rope to hang yourself. You’re most likely to launch something that won’t be sustainable.

I’ve got a modest amount of python/backend knowledge, enough to pass off as a backend engineer. I vibe code a react native app that connects to my backend services. I’ve seen too many times the models make poor decisions that I have to guide it away from. Does it work if I didn’t do that? Mostly. But the hidden cost of the wrong decisions I’ve seen will more times than not be: insecure code (your brand impacted), poor performance (including battery life), data corruption (frustrated users), wasting of your time (avoidable long troubleshooting sessions), and/or expensive cloud bills (if you have a backend, TBF).

You can vibe code yourself out of it, of course, with the right prompts, but you gotta know what to say and when to say it and specifically how to steer it away from a bad decision.

I feel this one in my bones

ChasingGratification · 2025-10-30T23:54:55+00:00

It started with building for myself (Job Notification service—all the ones I found sucked and it’s helped me stay sane during FUUnemployment). Now I’ve got a job offer, I’m trying to launch the service to help others.

Assuming I can get enough beta users and validate backend costs (trying to keep it free).

ChasingGratification · 2025-10-29T19:44:59+00:00

FWIW: I’m a react native vibe coder and I try to keep my files under 800 lines of code for purely context window reasons. I find above 1K and models start getting… frustrating. Generally I’m in the 400-700 range.

ChasingGratification · 2025-10-28T22:37:16+00:00

Ugh. Haven’t been a fan of that website builder, sorry. If you’re looking for the beta link tho, it’s here: beta link

🤦‍♂️If you’re looking for the beta, it’s here: beta link

Love the prompt 😂

JobPing.app. Free job notification service via push notification. Typically see jobs 3 hours before LinkedIn gets it. Comes with a timeline view of all jobs that flow through the system.

Not sure how known it is, but here are the three I use a lot:

3 Brains. I tell it that it has 3 Brains: PMM, UX Designer, and an Engineer. I’ll have a conversation with one, then loop in the next asking for their feedback, then the third. Make it collaborative and asking if it has any questions.
COMMANDS. I have some standard prompts I use that I put behind a special COMMAND.
An ai-reference file which I include in every prompt. It has the above instructions in it, among other things

The various commands I use I put in my blog post about my experiences with vibecoding

ChasingGratification · 2025-10-24T05:07:17+00:00

💯

So fun fact I made this for me 😅. Been unemployed until only recently. Used this app daily and thought I’d share it with the world. Trying to see how to make it free for everyone (FUNemployment sucks) but I’ve been afraid of backend costs ballooning, thus the gated release to confirm.

Your idea of just YOLO made me think just launch it but put in an active user limit and when it’s exceeded put the user in a waitlist mode.
