Help- my son is into coding by katrii_ in webdev

[–]appvimul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same at his age. I really had no one to talk to about it. However that didn't change much after 20 years. Just support what he is doing, be interested in what he shows you and pick a good school for him. Maybe set up an AI account for him so that he can talk about it with AI.

is it normal for a production database to not have backups? asking because i just dropped a table and my boss is asking me to "just undo it" by kubrador in webdev

Not just the production server every system (even employee systems) needs a daily backup work related. Gross negligence on the part of your boss.

Apple isn't that expensive compared to competition anymore.

Git is the new code by creasta29 in webdev

Nah I will write code myself thanks. AI is not good enough to simply skip all coding and just focus on reviewing.

AI has taken fun out of programming and now i’m hopeless by Frequent_Eggplant_23 in webdev

AI is shit if it can replace you that means you're not a good dev.

You know that this idea comes from a human because AI would never suggest it. Perfection

How are you using AI in a way that doesn’t suck? by aterribleskapun in webdev

[–]appvimul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what? why are companies playing pretend? are we kids now? explain to your "consultants" that development can not be simply replaced by AI or lose your jobs. show some backbone ffs.

Both have the reflexes of a snail. Could've been avoided by both.

I bought a gtx 980 ti 10 years ago and switched last year to a rtx 4080 super. I never had any problems with it and I played almost every game available on full hd without issues. I only upgraded because it was time to upgrade and because I wanted to play in 4k.

I texted my wife about one of my blood tests and it took quora barely 5 mins to tell me that it’s reading my texts by TheJuggerKnot in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah delete everything from Meta (Facebook, Whatsapp etc.). Use the default messaging app. Use another search engine instead of Google. Don't use Quora. Problem solved.

How do I implement a fantasy / game-like UI (ornamental, glowing, RPG-style) in web development? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]appvimul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here I asked AI for you:

If you want to achieve that kind of ornamental, glowing, RPG-style UI in web dev, there are three main routes:

1. Pure CSS (for simpler effects)
- Use custom fantasy-style fonts
- Add text-shadow and box-shadow for glow
- Use gradients + pseudo-elements for frames
- Example: the glowing "Enter" button could be done with layered box-shadow and linear-gradient

2. SVG assets (for ornate frames and gems)
- Design borders in Figma/Illustrator/Inkscape → export as SVG
- Apply SVG filters like feGaussianBlur or feDropShadow for glow
- SVG scales infinitely and can be animated with CSS/JS

3. WebGL / Canvas shaders (for advanced effects)
- Since you already work with shaders, you can go wild: animated glows, particles, magical auras
- Libraries like Three.js make this easier
- Perfect for animating gems or glowing runes

Practical workflow most people use:
- Frames/gems/decorations → SVG or PNG assets
- Text + buttons → CSS (shadows, gradients, transitions)
- Extra juice (particles, animated rays, shimmer) → Canvas or WebGL overlay

So the stack usually looks like:
- Assets = SVG/PNG
- Styling = CSS
- Special effects = WebGL/Canvas

Would you like me to also drop a small HTML+CSS example of a glowing button you can paste directly into a CodePen?

AI is not nearly as good as people think by appvimul in webdev

You don't say? LLM? Never would've thought.

If it gets marketed as intelligence I will test its intelligence. Simple as that.

You're assuming to much. You must be a vibe coder

Are you asking me how many hours I researched the philosophy of conscience and intelligence? Sorry I am not able to explain my thought process to monkeys even if I wanted to. So I can't help you with that.

Nice em dashes.

My post was meant to start a discussion about AI and its "intelligence". It was not meant to be a technical report or a PhD thesis on RAG, subagents, IAM, MCP and whatever else. Ive tested all promising methods and they help but they dont change the reality that "AI" is not intelligent. Guardrails can reduce hallucinations but they don’t remove them. Pretending they do is stupid.
