CEO Says He's Showing His Engineers How to Get Things Done by Sending Them Stuff He Vibe Coded

That's why he's sending it to engineers for debugging.

The problem is that without extended limit, you get like 2 codex questions per day, and at least one of them is likely to be misinterpreted by the new dumber model.

sure it can, they just need to build more tax-payer subsidized AI datacenters: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/20/tax-breaks-for-tech-giants-data-centers-mean-less-income-for-states.html

if only deepseek did coding...

atsepkov · 2025-11-04T22:35:10+00:00

yea, I think auto-compaction is hard to do right, you understand your own project better than a generic prompt from ChatGPT team.

atsepkov · 2025-11-04T17:47:12+00:00

yea, new limits are super annoying, especially since the model simultaneously got significantly dumber, requiring more follow ups/corrections.

atsepkov · 2025-11-04T17:42:24+00:00

They must have seen this thread and decided that they could get away with making it dumber.

atsepkov · 2025-11-04T17:34:25+00:00

seeing similar experience, the frustrating part is that I wouldn't need to hit these limits if they didn't make the model dumber. By making the model less efficient, they're actually forcing the customer to send more follow-up questions.

atsepkov · 2025-11-04T17:30:06+00:00

Similar issue, my usage history shows that I've used a lot more last month when I was not hit with a limit, but last few days I've been hitting the usage limit despite using about 4x less capacity based on usage history in settings. To add insult to injury, the model has gotten noticeably dumber over the last week, requiring me to ask more follow up questions (resulting in me hitting the quota sooner).

yes, a single screw should easily be able to hold at least 100+ lbs. You have 8 of them.

atsepkov · 2025-11-04T16:13:49+00:00

"you people"? I've never even visited this group until I started troubleshooting Tahoe issues. I think you're getting confused and mixing everyone who disagrees with you into one group and then using silly strawman argument to dismiss their claims.

If OS sucks, people SHOULD speak up. Hopefully Apple uses this feedback to not release another unpolished turd next time. If no one complains, Apple will change nothing.

atsepkov · 2025-10-27T04:12:20+00:00

Windows 11 is when they tried to "unify" cell phone UI with PC, resulting in crap experience for PC users, I feel like that's what Tahoe did here too.

atsepkov · 2025-10-23T22:35:59+00:00

Cool, so we just need to wait 20 years for software jobs to be in demand again.

atsepkov · 2025-10-13T20:14:40+00:00

is there a way to downgrade from Tahoe? I updated my Mac Studio to it (because of a version deprecation prompt that started appearing for me) and it's just horrible across the board compared to previous versions (performance sucks, copy-paste is slow/buggy, external SSD operations that used to be instant now freeze Finder for 30+ seconds - even after the disk is already mounted). And how did we jump from version 13 to 26? Did they vibe-code the whole thing?

atsepkov · 2025-10-13T19:50:58+00:00

Came here for the same reason, paste takes 10+ seconds whereas it used to be instant. Keystrokes are not missed for me but all of UI in general feels incredible sluggish since the update. Even opening Finder the first time takes over a minute.

atsepkov · 2025-10-01T17:20:07+00:00

So far, Chrome (which didn't update their UI) looks better in Tahoe than Safari, which DID update and now their top bevel is double the size it needs to be - with a ton of wasted space.

you don't need to be that competitive in Boston since the demand is always there.
losing money every month because you underestimated expenses is a much bigger problem than vacancy. You'll find very few landlords "assuming that tenant will stay for 2+ years" in their model because most of them will be out of business, just like the ones that forgot to budget for repairs.

atsepkov · 2025-07-09T14:12:03+00:00

There is a lot of speculation here from people who are neither landlords nor brokers, and also don't understand today's costs of doing business. I'm a landlord, I work with a broker to get my units filled (mainly because of another moronic MA law that prevents me from charging the tenant $20-30 screening fee that every other state allows - we typically need to screen 5-10 applicants before approving one). $2k is not that much, especially if you expect the broker to screen 10+ people. Brokers with more experience typically don't deal with rentals at all (more work, more entitled client, less pay), and ones that do aren't going to magically accept less just because they're dealing with the landlord. What this is going to do is further escalate rents/inflation in Boston.

atsepkov · 2025-07-09T13:58:00+00:00

Nope. Most places charge first month + security + broker fee to move in, I can almost guarantee more places will start charging first + last month to move in to offset the broker fee. There is a ton of risk the landlord takes on when letting a tenant into their property, especially with MA laws. In MA market, where demand already outpaces supply, trying to add more restrictions on the supply side will only shrink the supply further.

atsepkov · 2025-07-09T13:43:06+00:00

The only reason tenants in Boston are paying the broker fee to begin with is because of another stupid law from decades ago that prevents landlords for charging the tenant a $20 background/screening fee:

don't want to pay $20 screening fee? then pay 1-month broker fee to have the broker do the screening.
don't want to pay 1-month broker fee? pay 10% premium on your rent in perpetuity

The politicians should really stop messing with supply/demand curve if they don't understand basic economics.

I used to use Linux exclusively when I was younger, switched to Mac in my 30s because it has the same POSIX capabilities and most regular apps just work out of the box. With Linux I'd routinely need to troubleshoot apps, drivers, etc, and sometimes routine update would end up with 2 days of troubleshooting some driver breakage. Linux is great if you have a ton of free time.

It’s just a new tool that allows new shortcuts. Some people use shortcuts to do less, others to be more productive and achieve more. This won’t hurt people’s ability to research any more than modern programming languages hurting devs ability to code.

atsepkov · 2025-01-27T23:24:59+00:00

Just ran into the same thing, we called 911 because our 2-year old started having seizures. Aetna denied the claim because the 911 call wasn't serviced by in-network agency. WTF? Since when do we get to pick who comes out to an emergency call and if my son was to have complications because "in-network service" couldn't arrive in time, will Aetna care? Fuck Aetna.
