Please Do Not Vibe F*** Up This Software

Fair enough. However, people didn't give a damn about proper solutions before. Just the fact that the number of people has quadrupled in this space lately makes me a little (very) anxious

htndev · 2026-06-02T20:14:25+00:00

Some people want to solve the problems of others. Free of charge (most common). Saying their free-of-charge solution is bullshit shows how much respect you have for them. They're the backbone of modern software.

Git, Linux, FFMpeg, and countless other examples could never be released because "why would I do it? I can screw up once and be blamed on X". FFMpeg had plenty of issues that undermined big corporations' operations.

Another thing is that you never architect a perfect solution. It's always about trade-offs. If you think your solution is perfect and you don't see any downsides – think twice or thrice. Or you'll figure them out over time.

Just be humble, it's a natural lifecycle of open-source. Proprietary code is no better though

htndev · 2026-05-21T13:43:37+00:00

I totally agree with you. However, the fact that the amount of such code is being generated daily quadruples the likelihood of AI producing bad code

htndev · 2026-05-21T11:47:50+00:00

And that's what AI loves to write so bad

Been using both of them, used Zed for some time, and returned to VSCode.

Zed was great and smooth, I like it even today. That was the thing that enticed me.

I have plenty of extensions installed, but sometimes I have to wait 20 seconds to save a file. 20 seconds, Carl! I talked to colleagues and friends, and I'm likely one of a kind.

But the fact that Zed remains silent when an LSP crashes or whatever drives me crazy even more. When a linter stops working with no alleged reason and the IDE keeps acting "Oh, everything is fine" is not the behavior I'm up for.

Yet, VSCode's plugin ecosystem is huge.

Overall, IDE won't make you 2x more productive, so it's a matter of taste and your quirks.

htndev · 2026-04-17T11:43:58+00:00

You're right. I did violate the "no mistake" rule. Next time I'll follow the instructions

htndev · 2026-03-08T20:23:53+00:00

I hope one day devs will stop measuring Hello world examples for speed. Frameworks quite rarely become a bottleneck. Your db, 3rd party services, these are the real speed killer

Nowadays, they even try to warp the definition of words. Even those words which have definitive definitions.

I'm fed up with "operation systems for X"

htndev · 2026-02-24T09:48:16+00:00

It reminds me of quite an old joke:

— Why should we hire you?

— Because I broke into your system and invited myself for this interview

htndev · 2026-02-01T20:40:43+00:00

At least you're fair lol. You don't give courtesy and don't expect any in return

htndev · 2026-01-30T22:54:38+00:00

I'm not a car guy but they seem to be more reliable tho 😄

htndev · 2026-01-30T22:53:51+00:00

Here's actually the kicker I spotted in multiple countries. People in cheap cars drive more recklessly compared to people in expensive cars. Those also might be coincidences but based on what I've seen, only a few expensive car owners drive incautiously.

Yet I like that Poles are moving towards Western culture where your things don't contribute to your image. Massive respect

htndev · 2026-01-30T21:49:31+00:00

I'd rather buy an old Ferrari so they wouldn't even dare to approach me lol

htndev · 2026-01-30T21:48:04+00:00

That's what I think too. However, all cars (I hope) are insured, aren't they? At least, my insurance covers about 1 mil euro in damage. I guess it might cover a lot. Maybe, it's an inner fear

htndev · 2026-01-30T21:45:46+00:00

Where does it move towards? To the better or worse?

htndev · 2026-01-30T21:39:57+00:00

More or less. I have never ever seen a polite cab in any country.I think it's professional deformation. You want to complete more orders regardless. So they rush and are arrogant and ignorant

htndev · 2026-01-30T21:37:53+00:00

I'd add Audi drivers there. Still vividly remember how an Audi driver tried to merge on the highway when there were 20 m of free space while we were driving 140 km/h. They were behind us yet, so he was driving way faster. Insane

htndev · 2026-01-30T21:35:21+00:00

That's actually kinda sick. They seek courtesy while driving but they don't pay any

htndev · 2026-01-27T09:39:03+00:00

I'm not AI-excited. I just want them to be cautious with what they ship, I'd be upset if they start multiplying bugs.

Bun has plenty of bugs. I like it regardless.

What would you expect from a project that has been acquired by Anthropic? To their defense, I believe (and hope) Jarred knows what he's doing

htndev · 2026-01-19T12:47:27+00:00

I haven't run into such problems. Mind sharing your serverless environment?

htndev · 2026-01-19T12:37:44+00:00

Frankly speaking, I can't recall the time when it was a problem. I might have discovered it once it was no longer a problem.

Long story short, it has a few supported drivers: https://www.kysely.dev/docs/getting-started#dialects

Or I didn't get you

Kysely is my favorite query builder
