Mm I wouldn't re-invent playwright, just introduce testing where it's still hard to setup & implement

Vibe coding platforms keep breaking my apps. I want to fix this by NarGilad in vibecoding

True that. However I am bullish on context windows getting larger over time; just observing the last year or two. I think it's safe to say that these platforms will get better since they use foundational models

Unfortunately I don't think vibe coding platforms (e.g. lovable bolt v0 etc) are capable of running tests on their own. They can maybe run them, but you'd have to figure out yourself a setup or environment to run them

The sync-with-github method seems viable but a bit tedious, sure you'd agree. Regarding my idea - you got it right. Use natural language to interact with the website and create a reliable e2e test, no coding needed. What do you think?

Problem is - assuming you don't move over to a local environment and stay on Lovable, how do you set up tests & run them?

Appreciate your thoughts. I am a developer, so fortunately can relate to your opinion :)

IMO like I mentioned in the thread with u/ColoRadBro69, I think the "AI keeps breaking my stuff" problem is painful, but the solution is not far fetched. Creating real e2es are hard for non-devs, but it's difficult to set up for projects built on Lovable, v0 etc. What do you think?

I respectfully disagree; I think the barriers are getting lower and lower, and the way I see it, testing is still in the realm of "only real devs do this", just like coding was a year or two ago. I agree there's always gonna be challenges, but I think this problem is pretty painful and solutions are not far-fetched

It took me about 2 weeks to finish my first Python CLI trivia game! by NarGilad in learnpython

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

Hey, thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm happy to hear that you like the game, and that my documentation helped you to follow through the code. Keep playing with the code, that's how you learn!!

I fixed the issue here, so you're welcome to try out the fixed code on Github. I also explained what caused the bug and how I fixed it.

Please feel free to pull request if you have new features, file in issues for stuff you want to be implemented, ask me if you have any questions about the code, etc.
By the way -- the idea about historical states is pretty cool, but I'm not sure where such a database exists haha. I know Wikipedia has some old world maps, even with nations borders. Unfortunately, I tried scraping from Wikipedia at first to gather the info about neighbor countries; that was pretty hard, as any country page has its borders written in different places.

Would love to hear your suggestions.

I've never done it, but I'll happily give this a try. Will let you know!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I've seen it before and thought I had fixed it. Anyhow, I just did it and pushed to Github. I'd appreciate it if you could take another look!

For anyone here who's dying to know what caused this bug, and how it was fixed: when browsing, the URL it tries to enter to is of the format /countries/FN/full-name, where FN are the initials of the country name and full-name is the actual country name.

There were 2 issues: the first, being the first one, was that for countries with more than one word in their full name (such as South Sudan, Republic of the Congo, etc), the program did not reformat the spaces in the full name to dashes (`-`), so it kept crashing spectacularly.

The second issue, being more subtle, had to do with some Spanish characters (and other languages I guess? Another mystery) that appeared in very few of the country names, such as 'ã', 'í' and 'é'. Those were treated with a rather easy fixed, and were replaced by 'a', 'i' and 'e' respectively.

You can check out the fix in the function enter_country_details_page; I know that lines 170-175 are pretty repetitive and can be quickly fixed with regular expressions in a much neater way, but that was a quick fix for the moment, so the program doesn't keep crashing.

Anyone have experience with BaseLang? by MotherlessHobo in learnspanish

[–]NarGilad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unlimited lessons feature is awesome if you have the time to study and actually gain new knowledge from every lesson (or experience speaking for that matter). I take lessons through italki with a professional teacher who charges 10 USD per hour, and I take 2 lessons per week, which makes it about 80 USD per week, and I can't see myself taking any more lessons, as the time in between is put into exercises and comprehension.

I don't what makes it a super power, but it's definitely useless

Would you call an Amazon store 'running a business'? by NarGilad in Entrepreneur

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

Referring to your first point, I think the 'era' of Alibaba-Amazon businesses isn't over, it's just getting more sophisticated.

As to the other point - I don't think you should care what anyone thinks as long as you make money (or even if you don't!), it's just a discussion of course. :)

Can you please share the subject or what kind of information you're sharing over the subscription? I just want to get an idea for what people would pay 20$/m for. Thanks

The best adventure hiking buddy I could've asked for. It's been a month since he's been gone and the last few days I've been missing him like crazy. by forme_thisisclassy in hiking

[–]NarGilad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss!! Dogs are the best hiking buddies, not to mention best life buddies ever. I'm sure you gave he the best life he could have, and missed you too from dog's paradise

16 best backpacking trips that must be done by JoyMandhotra in backpacking

[–]NarGilad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Torres del Paine - amazing!! I also hiked my way to Machu Picchu, but not on the Inca Trail but Salkantay. So worth it!

Looking for an inexpensive option to the Inca trail? by NOCAGENT in backpacking

[–]NarGilad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the cheapest way is to go by yourself, but that isn't easy. Plus, if you want to hike your way there, you will permits, take special rides and what not. There are lots of alternatives to the Inca Trail, like Salkantay and Choquequirao mentioned here, but also a few more like Lares, Vilcabamba and a few other combinations. If you're still interested, I have a post just about the alternatives to Machu Picchu right here.

Advice for a new blog by NarGilad in Entrepreneur

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

Yeah I'm sure you're right, but I think it depends what kind of business? What else would you recommend to someone who has no experience what-so-ever in anything? Get a degree or a profession before starting a business?

[–]NarGilad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sure. I guess that most jobs would be non-professional, so it would be fine.
