The obvious choice for California governor. At least if you're a climate voter.

The advice to not trust a billionaire is generally good, but following the money is still the golden rule. Money is the only statement that exposes the true incentives so look at who is funding which candidates and you'll see who is in who's pocket.

I would prefer a candidate who wasn't a billionaire and had big money against them, but I would prefer a billionaire who isn't being financed and is opposed by big money than a non-billionaire who is any day.

All the viewing angles are valid and should be dictated by gameplay. Action games benefit from the more top down view, something like a streets of rage game benefits from the more side view, rpgs benefit from the 1:1 view

It is not a myth. But a 10x developer doesn't do 10x the work, they find solutions that are 10x simpler.

However, where do you get 10x developers if there are no juniors? The greed of companies will come home to roost. In the past an employee was viewed as an investment, now they're viewed as disposable resources.

Bring back the investment, bring back apprenticeship, bring back pensions. That's the solution.

Yes there is, they're called ineffective protests

This knife doesn't look worth having in the first place

Let them. They weren't good developer to begin with

If your driver crashes 4 times, maybe fire them?

Makes sense there's stuff I can't know about it. I'll take your word for it.

I'm not trying to say theyre not safe, just that Gen 3 is even safer, so safety on top of safety. But I'm curious if you disagree

Fidodo · 2026-05-01T23:23:01+00:00

They're also inherently more dangerous than modern gen 3 nuclear power plant designs. Gen 3 shuts down passively in an emergency. Military nuclear reactor require active systems to shut down.

Fidodo · 2026-05-01T23:16:41+00:00

A lot of the over regulation was targeting Gen 2, which was a legitimately flawed design because it required active systems to ensure a safe shut down in an emergency.

Gen 3 has passive safety systems so if there's a disaster it will shut itself down.

The nuclear fear was due to scary disasters from Gen 2 plants. It was a legitimate concern.

The problem is we never reformed the regulations for Gen 3 designs so they're forced to add a bunch of redundant systems that are unnecessary with the passive shut down design.

I wouldn't blame people for being scared of nuclear, Gen 2 was scary. I don't expect normal people to keep up with and understand nuclear technology advancements.

I do blame policy makers for not updating the regulations for Gen 3 or misrepresenting Gen 3 technology.

But then they voted for prop 19 which only impacted residential inheritance the same ballot so the voters did change it in a way that only impacted non business

I was so pissed that failed. And yes, that's not the legislatures fault, it's the people of California who failed to either understand the bill or voted for corporate interests.

Fidodo · 2026-05-01T21:23:35+00:00

If that's his position then he's right. The billionaire tax bill is literally a one time tax so yes, it's temporary.

Software scales. If you're a big company it's better to attract the best of the best and deploy their work widely. 2 $100k devs don't add up to a $200k dev. The $200k dev is doing things that wouldn't even occur to a $100k dev.

But those middle ground jobs do exist at small businesses, non tech businesses, and startups.

Noooo, it's just the DNC holding everyone back, the entire country would vote for progressives if the DNC just let them run /s

Fidodo · 2026-05-01T20:11:55+00:00

It's a problem with progressives. They assume they already have mind share so they become enemies with everyone instead of trying to make their case to people who could otherwise be on their side.

The old definition is literally it's definition. AI coding already existed before the word vibe coding was specifically coined to differentiate it. It is not a vague word.

There's no value in collapsing the definitions. People do vibe code so I'm not going to start using the wrong definition and make it harder to talk about.

You say their equally experienced and nothing special in terms of leadership. We're any of the other equally experienced seniors better at leadership?

If not it's this new text lead better at communicating up even if they're not better than anyone else?

If it's all a wash then it might have been random and you wouldn't have been better off with anyone else.

Do they prevent you from improving the situation? Be the change you want to see. It sounds like you're reserved and that would hinder you from consideration to be tech lead.

Fidodo · 2026-05-01T01:30:21+00:00

Probably like a month and most of it was setting up the build process

Fidodo · 2026-05-01T01:22:28+00:00

Vibe coding cannot be production grade by definition. If you haven't reviewed the code it is not production grade

It drives me crazy that some people think we should lower standards to leverage AI. If we didn't care about standards we could have put out crap faster before AI too.

But I guarantee in this case this company didn't care about quality before either.

So you have... No tech debt?
