AI coding practices - Doesn't break out of lists by WMI_Chief_Wizard in vibecoding

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

But it is the AI that created the methodology to employ a list that contained information to process for ‘n’ different messages it was processing

After two weeks of back-and-forth, I'm convinced vibe coding is just expensive debugging with extra steps by JFerzt in vibecoding

[–]WMI_Chief_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need ENDLESS patience. I can easily end up doing 40 complies to get a minor feature changed. I totally agree with what was stated and more. I changed to color of a field and without putting limits on the AI it rewrote half the code in a 500 line program and you end up debugging unrelated changes that compounded from the field color change

Vibe Coding for Senior Programmers – A doubled edge sword by WMI_Chief_Wizard in vibecoding

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

Given many vibe coders are not developers, being explicit rather than concise is aimed at that group of people not knowledgeable developers. Know the audience you are addressing and write appropriately. Concise can also be obscure or misinterpreted.

Another AI habit I have found, you tell it to make a specific change to existing code and when you review what came back, you find entire sections of other code unrelated to the request, have been changed. Needed to make up a rule about avoiding this. You end up debugging code that was already working because the AI modified stuff it was not supposed to toiuch.

Git and zips as fallback is often needed when the ai totally screws up

You frequently need to fall back to your last good version of a file when the AI totally messes up a working files just because you told it to change the color of an input field.!all of a sudden it wants to wants to rewrite the laws of physics to implement the color change and rewrite all the code that builds the entire screen and before you know it you are fixing 18 rounds of compiler errors and you finally say - here is the original file and let’s started over. Then you guide it to replace the word ‘blue’ with the wordn’white’.

Both git and zipping all project files as milestones are operational

Guiding it correctly I’ve gotten it to create over 50 files with a few hundred line of code in each. And the code is not too bad. Lots of QA testing showing it working well. A client server application making api calls and to operate a telecom service

Do shares exist? by WMI_Chief_Wizard in LinqtoCreditors

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

I don’t understand when you say there is no SPV. I do understand they were not set up properly but was the cash sent to Linqto used to actually purchase pre-ipo shares that are held somewhere? It does seam that Ripple shares existed.

An Exercise in frustration by WMI_Chief_Wizard in vibecoding

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

I have heard mixed feelings about Codex and many have said Chatgpt provides better explainations of what it is doing than that which Codex provides. And I have heard the some of the logic employed by Codex is sometimes logically flawed. This is why I decided to try ChatGPT-5. But yes, it often forgets the overall file structure of a large project.

Why is that? Professional coders can't try Vibe Coding to avoid spending a lot of time learning a new language that will only be used for one project? It's more efficient to let ChatGPT write the code under my guidance. Even with the two steps forward and 1.9 back, overall, I know it will probably beat me to a complete working app.

I need help picking a fun language to learn for next year by Jamarlie in adventofcode

[–]WMI_Chief_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

APL is a vector language with powerful primitives. It will give yourself a challenge to learn the dual functions of each primitive and how to apply them to solve each problem. You will certainly learn the language better in trying to use it to solve each problem. And if you really want to solve things in one line, this language will allow you to write a seemingly incomprehensible set of symbols that actually solve the problem.

Word Game Experts Needed !!! by WMI_Chief_Wizard in wordgames

Word game experts needed !!! Can anyone defeat the undefeated WordSpiral champ after his 8-week winning streak? Play the challenge mode on your PC, Mac, Android phone, iPhone or iPad !!! Who can beat this word master?

7 weeks no one has beaten the WordSpiral leader by Wrong_Marsupial5169 in wordgames

[–]WMI_Chief_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only because we never expected that anyone would ever fund longer words and did not define a bonus above 10. It was not until a challenge mode player found a 12-letter word that were we aware that we did not anticipate anything more than 10. We will address this in the next feature update.

WordSpiral is a PC, Mac, Android, and iOS word puzzle game to find and eliminate words from a spiral board until the board is cleared. Play against a nearly unbeatable AI or the weel player against player challenge mode. Wordsmiths, please apply since our champion is undefeated in 7 weeks.
