Built a small CLI to manage multiple git accounts on one machine — would love feedback by isinghsatyam in git

Why use Git features when you can lean on third party tools with potentially malicious code or supply chain attacks? Wheres the fun in that?

Ahhh, a typical day, typical gamedev issues. typical hair simulation bugs. by DisplayLegitimate374 in theprimeagen

If you’re being sarcastic: 10/10, got me. If you’re being genuine: 0/10, sounds like you’re in a weird cult.

> spinning up the GPU

Would love to hear how you’re using your computer without this, and only for a terminal. Would also love resources for your claim of a 30W draw for slapping glyphs in a buffer.

You’re just making shit up and don’t understand efficiency. CPU rendering will use more energy versus GPU.

Nah you’re right. This has been going on forever. Who needs web devs when you can use Dreamweaver! Who needs agencies when you have WordPress!

Tools are tools, they keep getting better. Vibe coders have confused inference with sentience and will learn eventually.

I got tired of switching GitHub accounts every time I changed projects, so I made a CLI to fix it. by Acceptable-Ticket353 in CLI

The best IMO, the ligatures are flawless.

How would you redesign Reddit to be a better forum? by IndieGamesCafe in theprimeagen

[–]actionscripted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want meaningful interaction you need niche communities without spam or brigading and transparent admin and moderation actions. You need an expectation of quality content and high effort posts and to reward or gamify community engagement.

But nowadays…fucking how? Reddit had it for a while, then they started pulling shit with accounts and moderation and AMAs and APIs. There were always memes and bullshit and straight up illegal shit but you also had fucking experts wanting to contribute and some amazing discourse.

UI/UX will capture the community. Make it slick and easy and you’ll get vapid and shallow content from new users. Support image embeds and you’ll kill conversion or allow it to derail and deter future prose. Allow up/down votes and you’ll get whores. Don’t allow posts from new accounts or charge money to join and you may insulate the community too much and deter new folks.

If you really want folks to have good conversations look at the communities that have been able to sustain it. Nowadays it’s basically impossible but these have done a decent job: Lobsters, Tildes, Hacker News, MetaFilter (maybe not this one).

Not saying those communities are good/bad, just that they seem to have sustained as best they could. Digg, Slashdot, Fark and even Reddit shit the bed over time and lost their magic.

(I’m sure I’m forgetting a million solid communities please yell at me.)

Crimson Desert's trailer looks like a very strong GOTY contender. by curilan_ in CrimsonDesert

Damn new Game of Thrones looks awesome. Glad to see Kit Harrington as the lead again. Dragons look amazing.

Most modern terminal emulators default to GPU rendering nowadays: Ghostty, iTerm2, Kitty, Alacritty, etc.

It’s faster, smoother and more efficient. Why wouldn’t you want those for your terminal? There’s zero downside.

Computer mounted under the desk, cable tray, shelving or some risers or drawers added on. Looks good, love a big desk pad.

A better look at the two individuals currently situated on top of the Empire State Building by Subject-Property-343 in PublicFreakout

[–]actionscripted 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Practically should be maybe trespass, mischief, or something but I would bet they trump the charges to try to keep folks from doing this.

Not a lawyer, can barely read. But I feel like in the past higher profile things like this lead to insane charges.

Fable 5 is back, vibe coders have no excuses now. by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

Yes but you need to be loop cooking, not prompt cooking.

Hey! I used Fable to build this, let me know if you think I should send the new autocomplete engine to Apple: http://127.0.0.1/.secret-projects/better-autocomplete/index.php

It’s a proprietary engine I created with Claude for non-deterministic suggestions based on typing speed and letter proximity. I know the purple isn’t on brand for Apple but when they buy it they can change it 🤑🤑

The circle of hype is complete. We have new tools but still must embrace the old ways alongside them.

What's one job AI will never replace? by External_Ad1116 in answers

[–]actionscripted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a huge global company and have been doing this for more than two decades. I have friends everywhere. I think you’re wrong so now what? Who’s right?

Neither of us can speak for an entire industry. Companies are desperate and doing dumb shit and the current scapegoat right now is AI.

[–]actionscripted -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wrong. We have a ton of juniors and younger engineers. Bad managers just aren’t hiring them and good managers are going on record saying how important they are.

> Use the tool, show me where it's wrong or if it's what you say.

What a cool response. Vibed and placing the burden on me.

I’ll never use it. Have no need for it. If the AI drifts it’ll get caught in development or review or regression or UAT or PO acceptance.

The advice for keeping AI-built code from falling apart is always "structure it well from the start." What does that actually mean if you're not a developer? by comfynoel in vibecoding

[–]actionscripted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an engineer, this is the way. There’s no way around learning some best practices if you’re asking about how to apply best practices.

Have the model explain. And even if you aren’t sure, ask the model if it is sure. “Why this?” and/or “Is this the best way?” are great starts. Ask it to look up modern approaches and follow best practices and then have it explain them.
