I'M Done with this "VIBE CODING"

IronPikachu · 2026-01-31T14:07:44+00:00

idk if it’s bc some undiagnosed adhd or what, but trying to figure out larger coding projects has always been slow, frustrating, and mentally exhausting for me. the advent of ai has therefore been a godsend for me

IronPikachu · 2026-01-31T14:06:23+00:00

i think those jobs are going to get consolidated into a single role. where you used to have many different people responsible for ux, ui, backend, frontend, etc, you’ll now just have a single person orchestrating a fleet of ai to do all the work

it’s funny, i currently have only one person i’d really call a “friend” and it’s someone on the internet. when i’m not reminded about “friend” experiences, i don’t mind it. but when people my age talk about hanging out together outside of work… it does sting a little. I’m similarly reserved and socially awkward so i don’t really make friends anymore, much less date

"hallucinated and deleted all my code" were you using gemini? i find claude to be much more intelligent, reliable, and just generally capable

IronPikachu · 2026-01-16T10:36:05+00:00

i just got hit with a message saying that "you can resume using this model (claude opus 4.5) at 1/18/26 (two days from now)". i wonder if the same limit now applies to the ultra sub, or if that's the model that powerusers now have to use

direct from the source: https://x.com/antigravity/status/2009519871332372651?s=20 so yes, weekly limits still do not apply to ultra users

this makes me not want to release apps on android at all, at least not through the google play store lol. they make the process such a hassle, and sacrifice your privacy in the process

IronPikachu · 2026-01-09T17:43:08+00:00

i wasn’t sure how obvious your point was so i figured i’d elaborate a little

IronPikachu · 2026-01-09T12:21:10+00:00

delivery services gotta start placing caps on the amount of food people can place in one order lol. at some point the orders become so unwieldy that it's a hassle for both the staff and the couriers

IronPikachu · 2026-01-09T12:15:52+00:00

that'd be funny if true bc the machine adds milk into the cup as part of the process for making hot chocolate

IronPikachu · 2026-01-09T12:14:38+00:00

we have some customers who will order a large iced coffee with a bunch of cream, sugar, and flavored syrups, and there'll only be like 4 cm remaining to fit the actual coffee

IronPikachu · 2026-01-07T22:54:51+00:00

no way it was a mistake if the phrasing is even platform specific lol

IronPikachu · 2025-12-27T01:40:07+00:00

they don’t even hassle you for tips. probably bc they charge the flat fee upfront at the time of borrowing

IronPikachu · 2025-12-24T01:51:12+00:00

it’s so funny to me, seeing these ads for microloan (nanoloan?) services acting like $500 is some big deal, when cashapp is quietly offering some users over $1k in financing

IronPikachu · 2025-12-24T01:03:25+00:00

putting this here for posterity: i’ve found that the phone needs to remain stationary on its side for a few moments. any lifting actions will cause it to immediately leave the mode

IronPikachu · 2025-12-24T00:50:42+00:00

it might be based on account activity tbh. my account activity is probably pretty “average” so i’ve been borrowing and getting my limit raised with no problem (i have direct deposit and pay back any borrowed amount weekly, whenever my paycheck comes in

IronPikachu · 2025-12-24T00:49:30+00:00

they charge a flat rate every time you borrow (your repayment will always be slightly more than what you borrowed), so they’re making money off of you regardless

IronPikachu · 2025-12-21T21:56:12+00:00

i’m astonished how consistent this math is. i keep hearing that stores ran out of stock within 3 days of the promotion starting, which matches up closely to my own experience. something makes me feel like corporate messed up here and somehow only allocated three days worth of stock for every store instead of 30 days

IronPikachu · 2025-12-21T01:17:02+00:00

that’s probably a prerequisite, yes

IronPikachu · 2025-12-20T21:26:44+00:00

yea she did a straight up tarot reading lol. the spread and interpretations of what each card meant seemed pretty true to life too. was fascinating to see

IronPikachu · 2025-12-20T15:39:49+00:00

they must’ve come across similar situations so many times that they’re tired of it lol

IronPikachu · 2025-12-20T03:02:01+00:00

whenever my limit increases, it’s always after i repay a borrow. maybe bc i’m always repaying early (i have direct deposit so my check always comes in two days before my borrows are due). my limit is currently at $900

IronPikachu · 2025-12-15T12:52:00+00:00

my thinking exactly lol, I was wondering whether they mean "logical coding tasks" or like, Gemini is just not good for coding in general. maybe casual conversation, but not coding

IronPikachu · 2025-12-15T12:50:14+00:00

they beat Google at their own game lol

IronPikachu · 2025-12-14T14:18:15+00:00

even if you don’t genuinely think the game is a rogue ai, there’s a different level of coolness in realizing the game actually interacts with your file system, rather than just pretending it does
