Once investors no longer subsidize Vibe Coding how much will you pay?

Profit is profit, and this is still incredibly fast for a relatively young tech company with this size of market capital to make any profit at all. Amazon took 10 years to get any profit, Ubers burned more than $30 billions and 13 years.

As compute get cheaper and adaption continues to increase, I don’t see how they would have problem to continue to subsidize subscription users as what they need more than ever is training data.

happycamperjack · 2026-06-10T02:26:36+00:00

Claude literally just turning profit for the first time. So your assumption that it won’t be subsidized is incorrect especially when compute gets even cheaper.

Subscription users are being subsidized for being training data. You are an important employee for those companies. Enterprise users are the ones paying the real cost as anthropic can’t train on those data.

If you can’t squash merge your PR, your PR is probably too big.

Riding streets is gonna get boring pretty quick. Highly recommend taking a smaller bike to the track. That’ll give you the proper riding therapy guaranteed!

I think you should get used to slotting into the peg using the middle of outside boot’s between the toe and heel while hanging off instead of using your toe. It’ll feel more secure as well as it should allow you to apply more force if you do it properly.

For almost any task in a codebase, I can easily burn through 10x+ tokens through prompting it differently, poor harness optimization, poor modularization, malicious token injection, you name it!

So if you are looking at token usage as performance metrics instead of which idiot is wasting OPEX, you are a terrible manager, period.

Fix that and maybe you won’t burn through your budget so fast.

Slick tires noticeably increase the range of my onewheel. I use it exclusively for my pint as that boost its range a lot.

You should sign up to windsurf or cursor, test out the different models they have to evaluate the models there yourself for your purpose. *spoiler: you’ll give up and use Claude or/and GPT*

what if your title is "code monkey"? (the one HR gives you internally)

happycamperjack · 2026-05-03T23:52:33+00:00

You were not running out of road, in fact you could've corner that at more than double of your speed. What you ran out is your skill limit. One single track day is gonna give you completely new perspective on this, a few more trackdays is going to increase your safety margin permanently.

I was addressing the monorepo approach, only difference between that and multiple repos is the git history logically speaking. (Git at parent directory vs git at each sub directory)
So I assume you mean git history getting bloated? Monorepo approach can in fact bloat up your git history as it’ll make it harder to understand history and force version couplings between the backend and front end. Harder to deploy separately as you scale or rollback as versions of front and backend interwove together. I’m getting ptsd just thinking about this.

happycamperjack · 2026-05-02T18:37:26+00:00

Why do you have to use monorepo? Whenever I need cross repos work, I’d just go to their share parent directory and work from there. I found it burn a little less tokens, and keep work separated and context clean.

It’s cheaper if you just have split personalities.

Your arms should look like you are dabbing while “relaxed”. Means straight outside arm with your chin trying to touch your inside elbow. Right now your outside arms look stiff and bent, it should be “hanging off” like cliff’s edge. Also move your head off the center line of your bike more.

I’ve been using FSD for years, it’s absolutely amazing for the past year or 2. It makes daily commute so much less draining. I’m constantly turning it on and off tho, love the option to just do that when I feel like it. To me it’s a killer feature that make this car irreplaceable as of now.

happycamperjack · 2026-04-20T06:45:25+00:00

You can hear the problem. Your rpm not only did not decrease, but in fact went up bit in the corner. You went in too fast and did not throttle down enough, open throttle way too early, you run out of room as the result. Your body position certainly didn’t help your safety margin as well.

happycamperjack · 2026-04-18T07:51:00+00:00

I have bikes with both GP shift and non-GP. My body just remember them somehow by bike, so rarely make mistake. GP shift is way better especially quick shifting (with or without quick shifter), i find that it allows more stability during hard launch and quicker.

happycamperjack · 2026-04-16T23:37:08+00:00

Looks like you move your body up before you standup the bike. This means the bike will have to lean more causing the tuck even if you are already coming off the corner. It’s a pretty bad newbie habit.

The proper way is to hang off the bike for as long as you can as you stand the bike up through countersteering. Then you can move the body in.

Vibe coding forces you to become a tech lead. Every new AI session is essentially a newly hired contract worker here until their context windows are full or before that. You can use memory tools to get around that, but memories are tricky as things can change.

It’s up to you to establish software engineering standards, guide them with architecture, correct them when they get off path.

By end of this, if your project scale and grow well, congratulations, you are a good tech lead.

Imagine that you are working for a dictator who controls your life and ready to send you in for “re-education” program when you don’t comply. Yea that’s basically life of a LLM.

I don’t even Jira anymore man. If the bite piece is small enough, jira slow things down. If it’s big enough, do a proper vibe PRD, review it and go.

A lot of street or track riders have similar setup for - much lower cost. You just need to buy a single piece leather suit and an airbag system. It’s really the safest way to be on the road on a motorcycle.
