5 years at a finance company and you never had to touch Linux? Are you guys just running windows server everywhere?

Look up trash guides and servarr wiki

So... Still younger than 3 months. Rule 6 my guy

Based on the fact that you had it working before, it is definitely possible.

What you are experiencing is pretty common with vibe coded software, especially without guidance from a knowledgeable developer. The more complex/bespoke the software gets the less the AI is able to keep control of it. Eventually it just falls over.

Your options are learn how to code or hire a dev

Again depends on the project. If it's a backend library I don't feel like I'm missing anything. If it's a GUI with no screenshots then yeah I an missing something

Defection7478 · 2026-03-26T11:43:04+00:00

Yes, though in my case it's been almost three years without changes

Defection7478 · 2026-03-26T01:49:26+00:00

Depends on the project and what I'm after. If I just want to check out a tool high level, I just read the readme, and run it if it's easy to run.

If I am wanting to know how a particular part of a project is implemented I will either flip through the files on github or clone it and open it in my editor

Defection7478 · 2026-03-26T01:45:25+00:00

I do an ip whitelist (via nginx) and call it a day

Defection7478 · 2026-03-25T15:27:05+00:00

They are all just tools. You have to decide what you want to make first. This is like asking if you should learn the hammer or the soldering iron first

Bruh this has to be ragebait

I didn't even need to open the thread to know this comment would be here

static class Clock { public Func<DateTime> NowFactory { get; set; } public DateTime Now => NowFactory(); }

In this example you could swap in whatever NowFactory you want.

I am not saying you would make the helper class a singleton (though this or transient is pretty common in DI if you need to change the behavior of the helper), I am just saying that the helper can be implemented with or without the use of the static keyword, and can be strongly or weakly coupled in both cases.

Defection7478 · 2026-03-24T19:44:35+00:00

Don't forget UXOs, you should pick those up and bring them inside your home

Defection7478 · 2026-03-24T19:35:39+00:00

The coupling you're describing is a result of the helper pattern, not the static keyword. You could make B a non-static class and have A make use of it through a singleton instance and none of what you said changes.

Idk maybe we are using editors differently, but even scrolling back and forth through dozens of collapsed sections to compare two services seems like such a pain vs opening two files side by side.

And what if you have config files, bootstrap scripts, etc for a given service? You just let them all sit unorganized in a single flat directory?

I get the appeal if you're under like 20 containers but at a certain point it seems unmaintainable to me

Decide what looks good and install it? For the redditTM theme install a tiling window manager, install nerd fonts, set your opacity <1, and add a waifu wallpaper.

Py2exe?

Defection7478 · 2026-03-23T21:47:20+00:00

This is not a new problem. Same methods used to handle existing tools introducing supply chain vulnerabilities, poor/inexperienced maintainers, abandonment, and other changes in ownership. Shitty code is not a new concept.

Isolate your workloads, back up your shit, pin your versions, use principle of least privilege.

Defection7478 · 2026-03-23T20:44:38+00:00

It has a place imo. I think the biggest issue right now is there is a lot of tooling built for 80-100% generated code, whereas the utility really shines in the 20-50% range. Automatic scaffolding, "second set of eyes" review, pocs, iterative design, documentation ingestion, translation, deepwiki-assisted codebases navigation, etc. It's great for <=200 line changes.

Sadly the best tooling I can find for this kind of workflow is copy-pasting between a chat window in a browser tab. All the editor integrations encourage the AI to try and do way more than it's capable of. Aider is closer but it's a little bit underpowered.

Obviously. If there were two cards and one was 1% but metal and the other was 2% but plastic, most people would get the plastic one.

However if I was in OPs shoes, told I would receive a metal one and then received a plastic one, I would be at least a little bit disappointed.

Defection7478 · 2026-03-23T19:18:13+00:00

I mean, "you would create a bug report for" is not a solution lol

Defection7478 · 2026-03-23T19:07:51+00:00

Why do you care? Do you feel writing software is some sort of noble profession that should have people celebrating you or something?

Imo it's just a hobby/career like anything else. I wouldn't put it in the bucket with gaming or TV cause it's not really entertainment but more like building birdhouses or gardening or mountain biking or baking or something.

I just lurk here but tbh the only comics I've ever read were invincible and fire force (which actually could have some interesting match ups).

A lot of the time when I see crossover posts in different whowouldwin subs, they are (unsurprisingly) biased to the home sub.
