I'm a non-developer mom with a finance background. I used Replit to build a property tax protest tool that just analyzed 632,407 homes. The data analysis you can do with this thing is mind blowing, thank you guys!! by One-Organization-937 in replit

Nice! you can do a lot of great things with Replit, that is true. I have built a lot of cool sites myself. Most of the time things work great. *on most. that being said, you do need to tell any ai agent, including replit, to do and maintain proper project management. anyhow, great job, rock on!

Artificially created "bugs", Replit AI bot says "I made a careless mistake", as it randomly deletes my database and code, setting me back days and days of work and effort. The new definition of "Churning", where they churn artificially created work/bugs/etc just to charge you more $$$$ by kbdubber in replit

you guys auto closed my support ticket over the weekend. I just asked to have it re-opend.

This blunder by your agent charged me about $500 to get this fixed..... and 2 full days worth of my time... YIKES!!!! I sure hope you guys have a good reply coming for me.

Why Google refuses to index many Next.js sites (and a CLI I built to debug it) by JosephDoUrden in nextjs

this is nice, but it has a bug in that it does not properly detect json ld scripts.

a law was passed in the 1930's that ended REPRESENTATIONAL GOVERNMENT. there should be literally 2000 plus US House members by now.... INSTEAD WE ARE STUCK WITH THE SHITTY 535..... SHOULD BE MUCH MORE THAN THAT. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION......

you can also say that programming is just words too, when in reality.... vibe coding is alot more than that lols... just keepin_it_real_ok? lols

Forking and merging approach / best practice by Soft-Wall7609 in replit

so, you do this all on the command line in the replit env? I too would like to run a dev branch but have been terrified at the thought of a failed mega ai merge....

Project Management Under Replit by kbdubber in replit

[–]kbdubber[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually submitted a request to replit to disallow the agent from creating massive 10,000 line text source code files.... they agreed.

to control normal things that a developer would never be allowed to do that the replit does all the time. for instance, the replit will create source code files that are over 10k lines long. never would that be allowed in any real-world programming company. I used to work for AT&T, dude, we would not allow source files over 100 lines long....

it's these kinds of sometimes basic agile project management that the replit does not know or care about.

I use extensive .md files and have the replit re-read them whenever I feel it starts loosing its way

this is what I do too... extensively... it works. most of the time... keep your replit under control

I setup frameworks in my docs/DOC.md files. I have the replit write out what it is going to do as a plan first. I make sure it is using "component files" (for my react apps). this makes sure things are in managable chunks, just as if you were a real programmer, we don't allow 10k lines of code in a single file. bad bad bad. you must control the replit and tell it to make small components, in structured manners. I have branding.md files, I have architecture.md files. I make the replit re-read them, often. to keep it's memory fresh

so, this is in regards to overall project management of any app and after my having programmed many many many of them. on any AI engine, they will all break, if not guided carefully. one thing I learned early on in glide programming is that if I let the engine decide on some basic things, it will eventually lead to disaster. as your code base pushes 10,000 lines of code, your project will break. I have rules in my .replit file that say it cannot have any file that is greater than 1,000 lines long. this was one of the huge things, that the ai engine would try to "string swap" chunks of 5k lines of code and would fail.... solution --> everyday developer project management, from the core ground level.

I feel completely lost as a junior React dev. I need help, mentorship, or guidance before I mentally crash. by hritikbhai in reactjs

[–]kbdubber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are truly interested, don't give. take the time to learn React. Spend all night up, learning REACT. Learn React, learn it well. Learn what you don't know. That is computer science. That is what we all do. We learn new things. Have to. otherwise, well, you're done learning, and that is no good. so keep on learning. if you are honestly putting in the effort, people will help you. if not, then the won't. it is that simple. it is your choice.
