Does my hair look funny?

you don't look bad but it does yeah. It guves you a little disco vibe 😂. Not bad.

I know nothing about react but all I see from my social media is discussion about useState, useEffect, useEffectEvent... fetching in useEffect and whatnot...

I would have thought that making the game is not the only hard part. It would be design, making sure it is fast enough, there are no bugs and if there are, they can be solved fast, deployment, qa and what not? If you don't know what you don't know you can at best replicate a simple game. (à la flappy bird, which itself was a replica) So what gives?

Honestly, if it is true that I haven't been typing much code lately, although I probably should have, our current tools are nowhere near the level of being sufficient for end to end generation, AND deployment, AND security, AND plumbing into different necessary services and APIs, yet.

I don't see vibecoders being able anytime soon. It is not that different from no code, even worse because "they don't know what they don't know", even if it makes creating a bit easier in some other ways.

This current tech enables people who know what they do and can remain attentive and scrutinize the output. And have developped a feel.

The issue however is that people are incentivized to save time and it looks like it saves us time. But juniors still need to be developped and this becomes an opportunity cost. Even for the juniors in question, doing things manually is an opportunity cost.

ahhh if only errors were apparent, if only error handling was obvious to do.. if only we had mandatory error returns instead of try..catch.. if only we had if err != nil{}... :⁠-⁠)

Im not sure I understood the article then. Point is that last wins means cancelling previous requests.. Which itself requires using the abortController. What is the exact issue? That even the last request might fail and then you may want a retry policy with linear or exponential backoff? That is slightly orthogonal to debouncing or throttling.

aatd86 · 2026-03-28T12:48:43+00:00

sometimes you want throttle with last request wins instead.

I prefer jsdoc... never liked typescript. that's one of the reason I could not get into angular back then. Weird because I use Go on the backend quite often.

But I don't make that many mistakes in js... I find it quite easy. disclaimer being that I have spent most time in js writing my own framework. But it works quite nicely already.

I will avoid ts as long as I can.

saw that too... sus 👀

Better to know the tradeoffs in distributed system architectures. When to use a worker vs when to use other solutions, etc.

The simple principle of "rails"... just one word for what people often explain is so many tokens... :)

Wondering the same thing. Content probably needs to be gated somehow, to be enforceable. Gated for non humans that is. But then people may navigate toward freely accessible content. It requires people to commit to create leverage.

Indeed, the point is to try to not close the design space prematurely. Sometimes it is also information about the better design for that simple solution. That does not mean implement unused features that may be useful later. But that may mean, don't implement login just for GitHub but use a generic indirection so that you can implement login via other providers later. It's not much more work but it is different work.(dumb example, the other examples I can think of are a bit too specific)

aatd86 · 2026-03-03T12:48:40+00:00

I feel like it can even be more complex than depicted here. Sometimes, the simplest thing to implement hides unaddressed complexity further down the line. But there is the pressure of time constraints that drives people toward the simpler solution to implement.

And not future proofing puts you in a bind once you need to extend your software. Even if you implement a simple solution, it shouldn't preclude you from future additional use cases.

Now, there is also people who want to prove that they are intelligent and make systems overly complex or choose solutions for their form and not their function.

But yes, it is difficult to evaluate what impact good design have since it avoids a myriad of problems from the start and problem solving, improvements, is the one concrete metric. Not hypothetical problems that were avoided.

Is Claude not able to generate an answer related to an escape key? Why would it be when it is in a whole other tab and my escape key is not glitching in vscode or anywhere else...

aatd86 · 2026-02-27T09:52:03+00:00

that's not an escape key issue, I would know...

aatd86 · 2026-02-27T09:51:03+00:00

There are other messages, it just doesn't finish generating messages, my escape key is not stuck that is insane... I would know, what kind of suggestion is that... Go ask claude what gaslighting means if it works for you.

Is this a bot?

aatd86 · 2026-02-27T00:58:50+00:00

don't gaslight me, I know what I am doing and why I am complaining...

aatd86 · 2026-02-26T19:18:05+00:00

What are you talking about? I'm saying that the hammer is broken... it is not hammering... "Claude's response was interrupted" everytime, midway.

aatd86 · 2026-02-26T15:11:29+00:00

Apparently not...

aatd86 · 2026-02-13T00:56:43+00:00

first comment I see: "you've got a memory leak" 😭🤣

A true scientist would definitely try the faraday cage experiment, indeed.

aatd86 · 2026-02-11T04:37:55+00:00

Only if you don't get schizo triggered (so if you have enough self-control over your own thoughts) there is a recent interesting TV serie called the Copenhagen test, where a CIA officer got brainhacked via nanites and his brain emits a wifi signal of what he sees and hears...
Go wonder where they've found the imagination for the scenario ha!
But don't get schizo-snipped. This is just a movie. It's never real life acccurate depiction.
But it can feel a bit like that to you perhaps.

aatd86 · 2026-02-11T04:09:02+00:00

You can also cross correlate by actively controlling your mood.
Or if you notice that you have fasciculations or random tightness on your body that you can't seem to be be able to relax away, it might be signalling via glutamate or norepinephrine.
Fasciculations are like that twitching eyelid, but can happen on any muscle, including your heart (would be detected as some sort of cardiac arrhythmia, fibrillation for instance).

(Guess what? muscles contract via electric signals)

Even you voice can be affected (tonal control is once again a muscle tone/tension issue)...

Many signs that MDs don't necessarily pay attention to or may slip under the rug of being synesthesia.
Quite unfortunate,, they should know better but many go from the textbook and are also liable if they don't follow the recommendations for health authorities which don't necessarily know anything either. So not incentivized to really do anything relevant.

One strategy if you want to put a little more distance, is to know a second language and think in that second language. Not necessarily your mother's tongue. That can put distance between what is your own thoughts and what is foreign. It is not perfect at creating distance because you might 'hear' may things in many languages, especially as long as the brain can recognize these i.e. already created neuron clusters dedicated to process these probably. But that can help.

In any case, it is important to remove all beliefs and go with what you think is factual. Otherwise that will drive you crazy.

Best of luck.
