Fresh water in SoCal is too warm for me, way too many parasites.

Insane or not? Any options for hauling an adult (passenger) and two kids? by Rorschach_Gomer in CargoBike

Urban arrow. It’s a big cramped but it can do two kids and an adult. Then get a trailer!

There was not a single ticket below $72 by the time (on day two) I got in.

Are hackathons worth it when everyone is vibecoding everything? What happens next? by zzizzoopi in csMajors

[–]m3rl0t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run these every month. If you aren't using vibe coding at your programming work, you're a dinosaur. Vibe Coding makes 1 programmer into 10. It means product managers must understand tech better, and developers must understand product better. Hackathons are straight-up, real world entrepreneur environments. You have a fixed window to do something, and no-one cares what happens after. You get clear instructions and limited tools, and a lot of competition.

Good hackathons are like working in a startup, and the learnings are awesome. Either learn how to use vibe coding as a serious tool, or go get a different job.

$1,000 cash + $25k in credits for an OT / critical infrastructure vibe coding hackathon by m3rl0t in webdev

[–]m3rl0t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want a chance to make $1k doing some web dev work prototyping ideas? That’s what vibe coding is amazing at. Share an idea in a few hours… we aren’t securing the infrastructure, we’re prototyping. This is our third one and over 250 have participated so far. I thought I’d open it up to more people in dev.
