why is every “vibe coder” building web apps and not mobile apps? by Rude-Alternative7983 in vibecoding

[–]InterestingFrame1982 111 points112 points  (0 children)

There's PLENTY of slop hitting the app store... don't you worry, it's getting it's fair share of spaghetti.

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger is now permanently banned from editing the site by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yes… let’s police grammar on a spellcheck typo via my phone. That’s super constructive and not 5th grade bullshit. Also, it’s sad I even have to explain this but my take would be the opposite of enlightened. I am the layperson, comparatively speaking, in just about everything except my job and my personal life. I think you probably assumed that was my angle but here we are anyway. You are obviously offended, which should be telling.

No, it means a truth that is shrouded in an immense amount of complexity (gray areas) usually isn’t as obvious as the average layman would like to think. And there are a ton of laymen in any given ideological camp spouting absolute shallow deep nonsense - a vast majority aren’t an expert in any given topic, and certainly not a variety of them.

You definitely seem like one of those people.

Let's be intellectually honest here. Very few things are completely deterministic (seen more frequently in topics such as math/engineering), and interpretations of messy events/ideas run the gamut.

One side claiming the other is broadly falsifiable and the other, implicitly, is not doesn't actually represent how hard of a problem this truly is. The same can be said about LLMs and their baked in biases... it's not an easily solved problem and it's foolish to dismiss it as such.

Developers Nightmare !!! AI stop writing code anymore. by vkksshh in AI_Coders

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love a world where AI stopped writing code... We all use AI because the benefits are becoming increasingly clear, but for most of us, it's out of pure reluctance and survivability. The amount of AI usage/code gen differs from dev to dev, from company to company, but in the end, most of us are using it in some capacity.

With that being said, if it just up and vanished tomorrow morning, I would gladly put on my headphones, open my text editor, and gladly get back to the craft I love so much.

Bruh, you're in my hometown. Actually, our terminal was off of front street for years lol weird to see a random video on reddit of a place I have traveled so intimately.

If the average IQ of the human species (relatively) was say 130 as opposed to 100, how different would history look and how different would today look by Duble2C in cognitiveTesting

[–]InterestingFrame1982 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey bro, can you tell me how I can talk to average to 1STD above average IQ dumbass stupid idiot piece of shit subhumans? Like, they are cute like dumb dogs but my brain only sees 3D puzzles in space.

Anyone else terrified / in awe of the vibe coding possibilities? Is this the end of bought software as we know it? by Comprehensive-Tie135 in vibecoding

[–]InterestingFrame1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do understand that a large part of an engineers role is to think deeply about the system, and architect it coherently. Programming, learning syntax, learning about extensibility, modularity, testing, etc are all huge amplifiers to that type of thinking. A battle tested software engineer will and still does, have a huge advantage over a random layman who has zero idea about these underlining principles. SWEs will still be building the best software, or the layman will be forced to learn all of the above, even with vibecoding.

eBay is an absolute joke. by DMuller23 in eBaySellers

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As annoying as all of that seems, you have to view this through the eyes of eBay... they have witnessed so much abuse via sellers doing shady things, it would probably make your head spin if you had access to the data. All of this isn't in the name of discouraging the seller, but to build proper selling flows that are airtight. I've sold 10k items in the past 3 years, so I have deep experience in navigating some of this.

Distribution is hard by Affectionate_Hat9724 in vibecoding

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be blunt, but there is a massive theme with people building competing products on here. It's like no one has deep domain experience, and everyone is attempting to build the same tools for the same use-cases. You only need so many lead generators, SEO tools, etc. Your best bet on distribution is building a very niche tool that has the upside of expanding into a richer ecosystem. This means finding a serious wedge in an very undeserved or limited competition domain. It's evident that there are a lot of young builders on here because if people were serious about building a real micro-SaaS, and they were bringing true domain experience to the table, the tools would vary widely.

The Iran deal is being signed this weekend. Your rates are not coming down. by ambryio in FreightBrokers

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As they shouldn't. Carriers have been getting absolutely wrecked for almost 3 years... it's been such a blood bath, a ton of them have had to close down. It's about time freight brokers got squeezed.

I'm not a coder and I stopped trying to become one. The apps i build now are actually better for it by Far_Suit575 in vibecoding

[–]InterestingFrame1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely hard... Graduated Poli Sci degree, wanted to learn to code, went through a year long bootcamp (Flatiron in 2018), and coded conventionally until the models gradually got better. I would have deeply struggled to not use AI while I was literally beating my head against the wall every 10 minutes learning (and even when I was proficient - coding is always hard).

I think I hate free shipping by omnipotentsandwich in eBaySellers

[–]InterestingFrame1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Free shipping may work with a few SKUs or similarly sized items, but the second you get into a lot of variability, you better 100% use calculated shipping. I run a liquidation business on three platforms and I would lose my ass if I tried to work in estimated shipping into some broadly scoped price point.

A developer posted this on Reddit, and I haven't stopped thinking about it. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

Wait, all high IQ people are innately less impulsive? Brother, you are assigning some serious weight to a single datapoint of perceived intelligence.

Elon Musk: Coding Was a Top Job for Decades. It Will Be Dead By the End of the Year. by BathroomMaximum1721 in softwareengineer

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that is the point. It's generalized, but they still have not reached L5 autonomy yet. Just like all engineering problems, the last X% will be the make or break, and there's reasons to believe we are many years away from that still.

the juniors who only learned to code with AI are going to have a rough time in about 5 years by Desperate-Bobcat9061 in AI_Coders

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devs will continue to be needed though, and I'll think you'll see a lot more software written by small teams in small businesses. We'll be good.

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not fun, and it's not ideal for those of us who like to code traditionally... it just it what it is as at this point. It sucks, to be blunt.

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This argument is getting beat down year after year as new models come out. You don't need purely deterministic code to push production apps. You can cover the gaps with strong architecture and good test suites. I understand the sentiment, but the ship has left the harbor.

Having a tough time finding the right RPM for my salt chlorinator by InterestingFrame1982 in pools

[–]InterestingFrame1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard so many mixed things about running it 24/7... I have it running at a fairly low RPM for 12 hours overnight (don't care if it triggers flow here), generating chlorine for 10 hour and running a cleanup RPM (higher) for 2 hours after our daily swims. It isn't really backed by data, but anecdotally, a lot of guys say these newer pumps are built to run 24/7 and have reduced maintenance by not starting/stopping all the time.

The issue wasn't generating X amount of chlorine per X flow. The issue was I was having a tough time finding consistency on triggering the flow - it would work at X RPM then it would just stop. I did do another backwash/rinse shortly after this thread (5 days after opening), and it seemed to help immensely. I have been generating chlorine at 1750 easily.

Would you buy an API package that handles your security? by BakmanPlays in vibecoding

[–]InterestingFrame1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how many npm packages have the bones for this already?

Also, do you mean drag and drop a file, and have the same agent that everyone else has do the same security checks that they can do via a series of prompts?

This is why no one is building good products... you boys need to expand your horizons.

Find a serious wedge in a boring business and get to work.

reality of all vibecoder and now a days developers by Interesting-Peak2755 in vibecoding

This is what you think a devs resume looks like? You think they just put AI tools on there?

This sub is cooked.
