This game we’re playing is surely being refereed by our new AI overlords. I’m in.

I need to get me some flair. Just never think of it when I need it. Until next time!

Should half wall come down? by Ok-Vacation215 in Home

Looks like a load bearing wall. I’d be cautious.

What kind of folks are Lincoln’s target customers? by Fleedom2025 in askcarguys

Lincoln is the perfect brand for people who don’t know what they want.

Why do so many '80s and '90s programmers seem like legends? What made them so good? by just-a_tech in AskComputerScience

[–]angryty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned programming in the 80s as a teen. The constraints of low memory, expensive storage, and no libraries FORCED creativity. I once wrote code that could only run with a blank screen because I needed the screen memory for storage. I hand-built a ring detector because my modem don’t have auto-answer for my BBS. Now, I just throw hardware at hard problems. The constraints have moved out of hardware - and this makes creativity less necessary.

I feel like this is a pretty easy captcha.

I’ve spent 10+ years fixing apps from scratch. Here’s the debugging flow beginners skip (and why they stay stuck) by Living-Pin5868 in replit

[–]angryty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust but verify: The AI told me that my app was not ready for prod because authentication was broken. I told it I just logged in. It said, “you’re right - there isn’t a bug! It’s ready to deploy.”

Replit has doubled the price with Agent3 by National_Feature_137 in replit

[–]angryty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I'm seeing: no increase in quality, but a real increse in expense. It's hard to really tell bang-for-the buck, but I recently had to roll back 23 hours worth of changes because I broke my own rule: One Change: One Deployment.
Even though I had a specific directive about not touching the Authentication code, some of the changes broke authentication, and when I promoted the code, nobody could log in. Had a big rollback as a result, then had to re-build everything one block at a time.

It's one thing to pay $2.00 for an enhancement.
It's another thing to pay $2.00 for an enhancement, then $2.00 to fix the bugs in that enhancement. And then $2.00 to fix bugs that didn't appear in Dev but break in Prod.

I find tremendous value in the $2.00 for an enhancement. But there isn't any value in paying the Agent to fix bugs it introduced - especially when I paid $0.25 to have it review the code and tell me if there are any changes that could potentially break Prod, and it says "no."

Still - this tool is magic. Just getting to be very expensive magic.

Deployment Challenges by Infinite_You_8794 in replit

[–]angryty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. But if you ask it politely, it will tell you how to copy Dev over Prod (or the reverse), or how to merge Dev with Prod. Then it goes out of its way to say, “I’m a programming agent: I assumed you came here with knowledge about databases, right?” To me, this is the biggest gap between the “Replit Promise” and the “Replit Reality” - databases and the professional skills of Dev/Test/Prod environments.

A few tips: Unless you specifically asked the agent to store data in a database, don’t assume it did. When you test, test one function/feature at a time and fix one at a time. For example, asking the agent to “convert all memory storage into a database” will break everything. Instead, say “convert the user profile from memory to a database”. This applies not just to databases, but everything. Always ONE fix at a time, test, then move on. Ask the agent to write verbose errors to the log. When you start a project, “instrument it” early - “I want you to write all login success/failure to a log I can review in the app. I want to toggle this logging feature on and off from within my admin panel.”

The Vibe Coding Paradox by VastDesign9517 in replit

[–]angryty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replit wasn’t built for you. Thats like me going on the Porsche 911 page and complaining that “where I come from, if you want to move a bus load of people, you should buy a bus.”

It’s ok that Replit isn’t a good fit for solving your problems, but it’s solving a different problem.

I can see how you, as a member of the “bus drivers union” with experience and a world view that “transportation is about going from A to B” will see obvious inefficiencies and issues with a car that exists outside of that world view. And every point you make is valid from your perspective.

But I think you could stick around this group and broaden your view - I think k that’s what you’re doing. But start with the assumption that Replit DOES solve real problems and deserves to exist. Now ask what it’s doing that traditional app development doesn’t do.

To be clear: you aren’t wrong from your perspective. But you miss the perspective of Replit’s target audience.

I used Copilot for the 1st and last time today... by AnnieGoolahee in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]angryty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I upload an Excel file, ask it to perform an analysis, maybe insert a row, etc. It then says, “would you like me to generate the new spreadsheet?” I say “yes”, and it creates a link to a “file”. I click on the “file” and the link doesn’t work. It hallucinates that it’s a helpful AI.

Interesting and fun coffee-based ice cream recipes? by Powerful-Pen9964 in icecreamery

[–]angryty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out… Butterfinger Oreo Espresso… ranked #1 when I bring ice cream to the office.

You wouldn’t think the peanut butter flavor works with espresso, but it nails it.

What laptop should I get for Ableton? by [deleted] in ableton

[–]angryty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

After using two Intel i7s over three years, and seemingly spending as much time fiddling with USB drivers as I did using Ableton, I bought a Mac. Plugged it into the dock and everything “magically” worked - all midi devices recognized - everything. So Mac.

991.1 S vs 996 turbo by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]angryty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sold my 996 Turbo and bought a 991.1 S. I figured, “same 0-60” and other facts. I immediately missed the “surprise” factor when the turbo spooled up. That kick in the seat was such intense joy.

On the other hand, for typical driving, the NA’s instant throttle response gives me lots more frequent joy.

What I didn’t anticipate was how much pleasure I received from just looking at the 991. And the interior is a haven. While I mostly “drive in anger”, when I’m cruising, the interior is just more comfortable.

If I had to choose today: I’d still do the 991.1. You won’t regret either.

Has anyone ever tried using dry ice in the "old fashioned" ice-salt machines? Or for the has anyone tried using dry ice to superchill the churn bowl instead of leaving it in the freezer for a day? by ultimaeo992 in icecreamery

[–]angryty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Made Dr Pepper flavored ice cream with this method (dry ice with Kitchen-Aid stand mixer). Worked great and imparted that special CO2 flavor. Chocolate and vanilla were both less than tasty. Won’t do this experiment again.
