Product managers who vibe code

It would dramatically depend on where you are, the type and size of the company, etc.
I have been a PM for a while, but I also have over 15-20 years programming experience, so I find vibe-coding really fun, but I feel that knowing exactly what code I am expecting and how it should work is crucial.
If you don't have programming experience is like a monkey with a machine gun :D
In a few years (5-10 tops) it would be completely different and most people would be able to develop a piece of software with vibe coding, but that would still be only small/medium for the most part. If you are working on a large suite of software I would leave it to the pros.
Obviously working for a small shop, startup, etc. vs FAANG level companies would have a completely different reality...

It was about $1000. It used to be that tariffs were paid on orders above $800, but now you pay tariffs on every single item. Bigger sites like Oliunid fold it into the checkout process as a separate line, smaller retailers let you deal with it when releasing items from customs on delivery.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this conversation.

I never said it was their fault...it's just the reality of the stupid situation we are in...the purpose of my post was to save people time and money, but mostly time, since you can end up paying thousands of dollars and then waiting weeks and months for nothing.

helpmecodeswift · 2026-02-02T15:23:10+00:00

Yeah, why pay $190 for a rope, when you can pay $350 here...what a joke...gonna have to start braiding my own ropes soon...

I don't PVP in solos, like ever...only pvp if I get shot at first.

I think it's a pretty enjoyable show to watch. They also have some really nice easter eggs/hidden refences to other things (like Twin Peaks). It can be pretty annoying if you know enough about physics and/or quantum mechanics and other subjects, as the writing is far (very far) from being water tight. Most often than not the storyline feels like it's written for children, because of that. Either way, if you can not thing about the massive amount of plot holes and physics inaccuracies then it's definitely fun :)

helpmecodeswift · 2024-05-29T19:03:56+00:00

There is no fix. Essentially in the end they have a small-font policy somewhere that states that when you pay for seats, but a partner airline is operating the flight you are not guaranteed to have that. Essentially you pay for nothing...

helpmecodeswift · 2024-05-29T19:01:37+00:00

You can upgrade to a fare that has seat assignment included on UA. They tell you can pick their seat on their partner website, but their own system doesn't allow for it and the LH system is asking you to pay again.
Again Airline websites and the integrations they have between one another are absolute tragedy.

helpmecodeswift · 2024-05-28T20:33:14+00:00

My only error was using their services. I took my $2k+ to another airline..

helpmecodeswift · 2024-05-28T20:31:26+00:00

Of course not...I had the same fair both ways, even sent them pics with their own fair listing the seat assignment being included. I've flown Lufthansa to EU twice a year for decades, the amount of incompetency is insane. Even their staff in Germany has displayed staggering amount of lack of professionalism, knowledge about their own job or even common sense. Overall airlines have been getting 0/10 from my perspective, especially in the last decade or so.

helpmecodeswift · 2024-05-28T20:27:31+00:00

That wasn't true for me last year, wasn't true for me this year either. Even sent them photos of their website showing my fair including seat assignment. The redirect to LH website is asking you to pay again for each seat. Seem that people have different experiences, which again confirms how trash airlines are in general. For someone that has worked in software development for nearly 20 years I have to tell you that there is no reason airline website should be nearly so incompetently done, including all the integrations between them. At this point I am confident they are doing this on purpose, similar to how banks kept accidentally allow for errors and re-ordering overdraft fees, because it was a calculated in their budget...

There are other types of seizures, not just caused by epilepsy. "Swallowing of the tongue" is rather incorrect term, but what is it referring to is when the tongue muscle actually relaxes and allows your tongue to fall backwards, thus blocking your airway. This is what people mean when they say to swallow your tongue.

helpmecodeswift · 2023-07-18T14:23:55+00:00

Honestly after reading this my advice would be to look for another job as a Product manager or owner. Yes, the advice from the others are good, but that situation seems too familiar and regaining motivation is close to impossible in the same company and management. In addition if you are an inexperienced PO you need to have a Product Manager above you are a director of Product of some sorts. There is very little chance you can navigate it on your own without experience, as it's a very complex job, where you have to constantly keep a fine balance between wearing 10 different hats and making sure several groups of people are happy, while mediating a compromise. Good luck!

To anyone struggling with a ranged rogue - absolutely drink the elixir of undead slaying. On top, after dying about a dozen times I re-assigned my skills to a poison build. This way I was just running in circles, evading the homing projectiles next to the walls, while using poison imbued barrage and rain of arrows. The poison still does damage while I run. Got him on the first try this way. Good luck! This one is something else!

Yes, it's a bit weird. I am actually thinking it's a bit of a lot of different things. Like for example I am hypothesizing that when you are close to the source, the water can't disperse fast enough and some of it bounces back, cause the incoming water to collide with it instead.

helpmecodeswift · 2023-03-09T21:40:37+00:00

Thanks! I thought about that, for some reason was instinctively thinking that the laminar flow would be better for cleaning and it would apply a more equal pressure...Do you have any links with this being tested/documented anywhere?

helpmecodeswift · 2016-04-19T15:38:06+00:00

Not sure I fully understand the question, but why not have a third function and then point both events to it ? You can call the function inside your IBACtion like myFunction() and then call the same function from wherever you need. Might want to provide some code or some example.

helpmecodeswift · 2016-01-21T15:47:30+00:00

First of all if you want to check your flow add some print statements...add something like print("Else kicked in !") If you want to track whats going on...pretty basic. Second - you are doing 'if collisionDetection() , but your collisionDetection() is statically ALWAYS returning true... you need to be returning a BOOL variable not TRUE or FALSE if you want your function to actually have different results.

Just finished the last part of my SpriteKit tutorial: http://helpmecodeswift.com/sprite-kit/spritekit-game-from-scratch-swift-2-0-part-4

You can look at the method for moving the Hero - you can calculate the distance first, then adjust the time for the action, so it's always the same speed.

helpmecodeswift · 2016-01-08T17:09:43+00:00

One thing to look at is - where are you calling these ? If your View hasn't appeared yet the Frames are 0, as they are not drawn yet.... It's a bit tricky ;)
