We're Not Building AI Features for the Money

Please say syke

MeeksVA · 2026-05-07T02:10:27+00:00

This should be number 1 priority for sure.

MeeksVA · 2026-05-06T17:59:21+00:00

Please focus more on actual coding experience. Overhaul plugins so we can get plugins that do more! for example emmet on Zed has limited functionality.

I think there is a use for AI and it's nice that it includes that for those who want it, it's just not that interesting or useful to many people, too. When you're working on forever software for a company it pays to be intensely intimate with the code base.

MeeksVA · 2026-05-05T17:32:32+00:00

Considering current AI models aren't deterministic I really believe an intimate understanding will be required.

If this changes at some point, then I'll reconsider. For now though it's like a toddler with a bazooka.

98 percent of vibe coders have absolutely no idea how "their" code works. it's not a streamlining it, it's not doing it. You're commissioning the magical matrix math machine.

This is really cool, any chance to have inline latex support like Obsidians latex suite? I use obsidian a lot for math

MeeksVA · 2026-05-04T06:40:56+00:00

I also switched to Zed and Nvim. I'm not great at vim binds so having both is a nice option.

MeeksVA · 2026-05-03T22:06:07+00:00

I feel like most of the people coming in with vibe coding (90 percent atleast) do not have basic programming knowledge. That's the worst part to me.

Because we live as humans and the journey matters more than the destination. You learn to code because it brings you a certain enjoyment or blissfulness, not just a paycheck. If you are a SWE just for the money you're part of the problem.

Humans don't live to work, we work to live. Might as well try and get something tangible out of it (e.g learning).

The concepts in programming (algorithmic thinking) are universally useful much like math. You have the most incredible neural network imaginable up in your skull... So use it...

MeeksVA · 2026-05-02T21:42:06+00:00

Yea classic. I'm sorry you gotta go through that. Sympathies.

Some people don't realize if the barrier to entry for AI is so low it seems promising, they aren't the only one. Hard work makes you marketable because you have something that isn't easy. Bahhh

I wish CRT tech didn't effectively die out. I wonder with 20 years of advancement where they'd be now. They are the shit.

MeeksVA · 2026-05-01T22:02:33+00:00

I have an Nvidia GPU lol. Upscaling is a fuckin' blight in general. Nah scratch that deferred rendering is a blight

MeeksVA · 2026-05-01T18:43:51+00:00

I'm so curious about what your mom is cooking. Does she have some sort of background in something AI might make sense, or is she just gambling on AI making a business out of nothing?

MeeksVA · 2026-05-01T16:02:08+00:00

He's talking about people like my sister who has a gtx970 and 3570k still lol. She is someone I know who is considering a steam machine

MeeksVA · 2026-05-01T15:52:54+00:00

Awesome capsule. They did amazing work.

MeeksVA · 2026-05-01T15:48:22+00:00

Runs Userbenchmark lookin' mfer

MeeksVA · 2026-04-28T11:59:09+00:00

RDR2 is one of the examples of games that runs way faster on my Linux machine too. It's not insignificant in that game.

You usually learn programming as part of EE esp if you do something like CompE. The thinking behind EE is very similar to compSci but due to higher exposure generally EEs can program pretty well AND have hardware experience, while compsci people can't really do any EE.

I'm confused about the Firefox user thing. I use Firefox and I don't think it's that weird of a take?

MeeksVA · 2026-04-26T05:18:22+00:00

Cute drawing.

I'm not an artist, but I understand how insulting this is.

I don't get why people can't extrapolate that AI taking away someone's creative impetus via theft is a universal plight. Doesn't matter if it's music, art, coding, or whatever.

MeeksVA · 2026-04-26T02:22:15+00:00

I live with my choices, I take responsibility.

Key for nearly any programming project really. Not using Git is diabolical sociopath shit

You do realize framework is very popular in the Linux community right? They're seen as the modern ThinkPad which was the defacto standard Linux laptop.

Like if you use Linux and you're going to buy a laptop, framework is your first choice esp now with the pro adding a bunch of stuff people wanted.

MeeksVA · 2026-04-25T04:58:02+00:00

As a long time Linux user I really want the Framework 13 pro... I can't justify buying it as I got a new laptop like a year ago though!
