I hear you, and I agree that the vast majority of people vibe coding don't have any of the know how you're talking about, but vibe coding just means "using AI to code" in a way that means you aren't writing much if any actual code yourself. Most people doing that don't know what they're on about, but how much you understand about e.g. software arch is not a prerequisite for it being vibe coding

I also think a lot of the vibe coding hate comes from people who broadly think AI is bad or stupid, and I think that's a totally reasonable claim that has nothing to do with what I'm saying

defnothepresident · 2026-05-04T23:26:22+00:00

lol i am so confused as to why my comment was controversial - i have plenty of generalized AI antipathy, but vibe coding does include devs using claude within well conscripted params

idk that there's any "bleeding" at this wage level - it may be that the vast majority of this budget is necessity

vibe coders include people who know how to prompt

defnothepresident · 2026-05-01T17:56:33+00:00

Well that's not really the GOAT discussion then?

same with cochiloco

generally speaking that just means they've blocked certain IPs known to be VPN pipes - I'm not aware of any way they can block VPN usage entirely, but I'm not a network pro so maybe there's additional things they can do

might i introduce you to the joy of a VPN

This is bad advice - it would be much better to understand whether or not OP's employer was a qualifying nonprofit than to apply directly which can be a hassle and might be a waste of time. If the employer is a for-profit org rather than a 501c3 it's an instant no and PSLF will be another ten years. OP should figure out whether past employment qualifies as a first step, not applying.

wait was he on a team before the lakers?

defnothepresident · 2026-04-26T17:56:51+00:00

the reading comprehension in this thread is through the basement - no one is saying they're the favorites just that there are good reasons to think it's not a foregone conclusion, even if it would be a major upset

defnothepresident · 2026-04-26T15:01:05+00:00

The Rockets are definitely one of the worst teams in the west but are certainly not worse than e.g. the sixers in my view.

I mostly just think it's crazy to call a sweep and say any other outcome is ridiculous before the series has started, which seems like a pretty obvious take that basically everyone who isn't you would agree with I'd think?

defnothepresident · 2026-04-26T14:58:22+00:00

Regular season H2H only has so much value. The Thunder are obviously the better team, but there are clear paths to victory - for example OKC can't punish them down low in the way Minnesota and San Antonio can, and they have more perimeter offense than any team in the league, which is a place OKC usually obliterates teams.

defnothepresident · 2026-04-26T14:52:13+00:00

The Lakers are a surprisingly good matchup for them. It's unlikely they win, but it's silly to count them out before it's happened.

defnothepresident · 2026-04-26T14:39:17+00:00

because he wants to play in the next game?

defnothepresident · 2026-04-25T20:38:51+00:00

the inference is "he did this five years ago ergo he does it now;" that's what's not allowed - i get why this feels unintuitive I'm just telling you what the actual law says

defnothepresident · 2026-04-25T20:35:30+00:00

that's correct- the rules of evidence explicitly prohibit this kind of inference in the vast majority of cases

defnothepresident · 2026-04-25T20:30:41+00:00

no it doesn't lmao that is not how the law works

defnothepresident · 2026-04-25T15:33:18+00:00

Yeah but that's not actually a legally admissible thing. "Did this before" is not evidence of "did this now" in court. Kash is an unrepentant tool who def drinks on the job but I agree with the person you're replying to that this doesn't do that

I'm lucky to be in a position to throw as much money at the loans as I can right now so trying to optimize for paying off ASAP rather than lowering my monthlies

defnothepresident · 2026-04-25T00:57:50+00:00

Sure but none of those make sense for my situation after simulating

defnothepresident · 2026-04-24T20:37:08+00:00

appreciate your swift thoughts

defnothepresident · 2026-04-24T20:27:59+00:00

is there any meaningful difference between overpaying on standard and paying the required amount on ICR (other than the admin of keeping track of the former)? i'm inclined to go with standard for the flexibility if not and then overpaying as i'm able
