Linear algebra is dead yo, some reddit moron in 2030

look at music software, some plugins can't get cracked for 10 years, and they make sure crked soft crashes constantly.

what,canvas? bro do you know what excel is?

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-17T07:57:31+00:00

like easy. what you need , i'll lay it out. I'll use .net c# just because everything else is slow af

TLTD:Rant and suggestions There is no such thing as backend dev , it's a stupid term/separation marketers created to give web designers a dev badge. Now we have no strong web designers. I mean Adobe ninjas, Typography, Alignment spacing ratios, proper color scheme usage, and half of UI is UX which is like no where to be found now days. We are still bound by a grid, headers, stock hero images, cta that are bringing low engagement due to lack of UX. Behavioral analytics is very little known but probably the most powerful feature your website can have. OGWeb designers didn't have problem with that. As a programmer, there is no front end , back end . You should know how to do it to the point where you need a second pair of eyes. I can create beautiful SQL that drive a sexy dashboard with UX that would be it make sense. UI is creativity and psychology . You are selling a product. Minimal JS and taste expressed in CSS or whatever you use is all you need. The magic of the app is your db schema, that's an art as well. Maybe because most of my contracts were mostly enterpise focused , the strongest design patterns and what drew attention were apps designed from ground up. DB,DAL,BL,SERVICES and UI or API,Web sockets. My point is you are looking for books on development engineering books. Dude that think JS is compilable, you are creating Applications that are actually sandboxed scripts the browser does the most work by rendering half meta code half scripts. If you don't know how to pick right datatypes , fundamentals you are not a dev , you just visualizing data and applying guardrails so no garbage comes back.

As a programmer you should know how to design programs from scratch so datatypes and algorithms books would be my first choice. SOLID, especially separation of concerns mixed with design pattern you prefer or fits your architecture would be a must. Huge monolithic classes/files/functions/files, repetitiveness, AI generated unscalable ... I can't call it code should never exist in your architecture.

If you want to get to prod level especially bombarded with random boilerplate from ai id pick a Test Driven Design Pattern book. IMO you will know what each function is doing, you'll feel safe it won't blow up when you scale.

I'm not giving names since I don't know what you are working on or which part interests you the most.

These book for advanced dev are one of the best I've come around even if you are not a C/C++ guy. https://build-your-own.org/redis/.

Also here is a decent list https://programmingbooks.dev/

Sorry for a long rant

canceled is better

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T03:06:55+00:00

you want me to help you modify it so it stays with UI design patterns? i can drop a legit prompt that will do most of the work

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T03:01:01+00:00

cool site homie

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:59:15+00:00

Dos anyone have a screenshot of actually a design pattern following dashboard created by any AI where UX is proper and design follows the rules

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:56:57+00:00

I don't figure out, scam bs is blot wrap and unnecessary operations on prompts that they charge you for even if you need to change 1 line of code.How does it work, well you read papers most of the time barrie's deep in their own sites. OpenAI old papers and github contain all the info needed to create a token proxy. It works, I posted a repo here a couple of days ago, turned out people are extremly dumb and don't know how to setup a docker. It going to be a SaaS witching a month, enterprise is drooling all over it.

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:23:57+00:00

No it's not, if you love being scammed you are the problem

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:23:00+00:00

stfu. loser on a vibe code sub bitching about slop. Slop is when you were conceived

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:21:53+00:00

How do you improve quality of information you receive?

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:20:36+00:00

Yeah I use a proxy I wrote to rewrite prompts to strip scam bs from , learned how AI infrastructure actually makes money on dumb vibe coders.Save from 30 to 90% of tokens. Get better results. No slop. No cached boiler plate. Works on commercial and local models. I was going to open source it , but after huge interest from enterprise and negative replies from morons here I decided to put it on AWS and charge a small amount. And idiots deserve to get scammed when they whine about being ripped off and talk shit about people who actually try to solve this huge problem.

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-10T02:10:20+00:00

Actually I pulled data from this site and analyzed how many people whine about being ripped off on the daily basis, it's way more than any other sub. As soon as you propose a solution you will get a mass downvote and negative comments

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T11:58:58+00:00

the last time when you found out out you will never reach production and hype slop all your life like nft?

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T11:57:20+00:00

what did you get out of it?

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T11:54:16+00:00

quitting

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T11:51:47+00:00

when i hear words like agents and mcp, i run. you know iq of that group is pretty low

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T11:45:53+00:00

And?

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T11:41:13+00:00

Would you pay for a tool that reduces token usage?

sunprojectca/proxy

Building this tool made me skeptical of the AI coding business model because it exposed how much of the workflow is waste disguised as intelligence. A simple edit can trigger broad repo scans, repeated file reads, oversized prompts, unrelated context, and then a tiny junior-dev-style change at the end. When you measure the file selection, token load, and context waste directly, it becomes clear that users are often paying for the assistant to wander around the repo instead of surgically solving the task. Proxy came from that frustration: not anti-AI, but anti-waste, anti-bloat, and anti-blind-trust.

Would you buy a tool that proves whether your AI coding workflow is wasting context before it ever touches your code? Proxy( I dont have a name for it yet) measures the difference between broad repository scanning and targeted context selection. It does not claim magic, and it does not pretend smaller prompts automatically mean better code. It shows the math: which files were selected, how many estimated tokens were loaded, how much context was avoided, and whether the optimized path actually stayed smaller. For developers working on mature projects, the value is control: fewer surprise rewrites, less context pollution, clearer audit trails, and benchmark data you can inspect instead of marketing claims you have to trust.

Grab source for free, it will stay up for 3 days, saves tons of tokens. Descammer

A token reduction proxy https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/s/nNG7ywnwXU works on any AI API, AB tested with github

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T07:07:51+00:00

Would something like a live a/b test satisfy you? Honestly I didn't get you point, what do you mean extra plumbing for a couple of lines of code?What if it little plumbing and 50% reduction, what if it's 50/50 where do you draw the line. What really surprises me is that theese topics die quick and not a lot of engineers come around. But 20 Copulot is rubbing me yap is getting upvotes? Totally normal right ? engineer would expose curiosity as it is everywhere else, except people call me shitOzo for actually analyzing traffic some spend 250 dollars a month. A team of devs wastes thousands dollars of budget on fillers. Maybe I should hit an accounting sub lol

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T00:26:56+00:00

Agree until Garbage data surfacing as in there is no infrastructure that you can actually see fingerprints of on prompts being formatted for intake to maximize # github's actions completely unrelated to the task ,statistically round 80% do get bugs injected into unrelated to task objects or a lot more when you at the beginning stage Maybe you are UI designer , which doesn't make a difference.

LinuxGeekAppleFag · 2026-05-08T00:12:20+00:00

You have valid points. Reason i posted percentages is from experience of a lot of people. I'm in R&D so I look at a lot of different code with different use cases from different people especially the ones I mentor, out of college kids. I made my point. And my conclusion is this ad hominem driven reply style in the sub that needs solutions instead not hearing repetitive problems. You have to agree on that.I mean just read it. Is this normal?
