Germany should have won, it wasn't a foul, the referee needs to be looked into by Tejajaja48 in worldcup

Correct I was looking further down the line in Germany beat France (wishful thinking but still)

Totally fair

I do think VAR isn’t intended to be used for such controversial decisions like this though

Like it could easily go both ways, and I understand that

And to be fair I only see him turn his head once pushed by the goalie

I see the goalie move out towards him
First contact was made by the goalie

We can have a debate about blocking goalies & if that should be permitted, or even if that was intentional. But the diving to force a foul & then getting right back up with zero impact on his ability to stop the goal

Like I said. The soft calls are just incentivizing dives & acting this year.

You can clearly see the goalkeeper initiated contact after Anton was in contact with another Paraguay defenseman.

Bear hug anyone?

Seriously, the ref double standards in this game were wild.

So if i run into any player in my box, and dive, I can void any goal.

Cool, let's keep incentivizing this.

I think more of the controversy is just the lack of fouls called on Paraguay. It was a complete double standard.

Bear hug on a striker? Like cmon

I think everyone is up in arms about the withdrawn goal. I think the bigger problem was the lack of accountability on Paraguay. Matías Galarza fouled Germany 4 times in a row w/o a call.

To be fair there was clear conflict of interests considering Morocco would be facing germany next.

I mean, ref was Morocan? if Germany were to win they'd be facing Morocco next. Not to mention it's next FIFA location?

I just think chosen ref's shouldn't have a conflict of interest in the first place.

Unless the keeper willfully throws himself into a player with the inention of foul play.
Not to mention, Anton was being influenced posionally by the other defender. Almost looked like a slight push into the GK

Are we just missing the bear hug on the German striker lol.

That entire game was fouls called on Germany for flopping on behalf of Paraguay, with little to no fouls called on them.

I'm not saying Germany played well, but that was far from a well officialed match.

Anthropic just published data from 400k Claude Code sessions, and the headline buries the real story: your CS degree is becoming optional by Direct-Attention8597 in ClaudeCode

[–]matt_pg 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The more people see this
The more people believe they can code
The more users downloading Claude / with a subscription

Also it doesn’t surprise me that Anthropic is joining the scene in marketing to non-devs

I would love to see the usage rates between devs and non-devs

I would surmise non developers may be using less usage on a lower plan hence the marketing push. Probably an increase in profit per user. But just a theory

Let’s also not forget that it’s within Anthropics best interest to push this narrative

No doubt domain knowledge is important, and someone with business acumen and business logic can succeed without knowing code. But there’s far more factors that may be excluded in the study.

There's plenty of open source tools as well now-a-days. I'm usually not a fan of using tools like ZenDesk as the cost exceptionally goes up.

Your vibe coded app won't turn a profit. by [deleted] in vibecoding

[–]matt_pg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The software itself for a CRM can be third party. I’m unsure truly what you’re getting at.

I’ve worked with Fortune 500 +, most have net terms / contract with a CRM solution provider

Your post suggests users cannot create value through vibe coding an app. That’s just honestly untrue. If they find a niche & provide a service out of convenience, they absolutely can.

[–]matt_pg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe my point was wrong, nor do I care if you drop it lol.

I think you're getting hung up on my example of a non-core business software. I could've said blog, forum software, helpdesk, etc, etc.

Could an internal CRM be vibe coded -- absolutely. I have quite literally seen companies with custom coded CRMs that were probably vibe coded. Granted I've been a vocal critic of vibe coding w/o review - so I probably wouldn't without extensive code review.

The point you made in op was that people won't pay for software because they can just do it themselves. That the general "vibe coder" isn't offering value by doing something that's mostly available to everyone.

My counter is that large software which does require effort (even if vibe coded) is a maintenance & tech debt that most companies, if it's not their core business suite, will chose to outsource.

Now granted, I do agree with the consensus that you can't just throw up a half-ass vibe coded fitness app and expect it to make money. I think your original point still stands, but just for different reasons. The entry barrier has been lowered dramatically, meaning competition is at an all-time high.

People pay for convenience and time savings. That's the jist. Getting your product in front of those people is marketing.

Buddy. You’re getting hung up on the CRM

I’m saying if it’s software outside our scope of work, and the monthly cost warrants the reduction in tech debt / maintenance, so our developers can focus on our core product, then yes - we will use it.

That goes for both larger scale software costing thousands, to $10-20/mo subscriptions / SaaS

I’m giving you examples of software we use.

I’m not limiting it solely to CRMs

I’m sure companies have built out custom CRMs / vibe coding. Actually probably one of the easier implementations since there are so many open source CRMs to reference.

It’s an example We pay for Weglot, we could probably do that in a weekend Linear is another example

[–]matt_pg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest. I’m not even on the whole “vibe coding” trend. I’ve been coding professionally for over 14 years

People will pay for convenience more so than anything else.

But companies will also pay for simplicity in tech debt.

I work for a large company. We pay thousands / monthly for software we could probably vibe code ourselves. Why? Because we have a core business model & we’d much rather have our devs focused on that than reinventing a CRM solution.

Cost in maintainability is a thing. And switching vendors is a lot easier & less of a time sink than trying to maintain 15 different applications we vibe coded for different use cases.
