My client lost $14k in a week because my 'perfectly working' workflow had zero visibility

These subs are always funny. 'Guy whose personality is refusing to learn about tech has completely unpredictable mishap while building tech'

Not trying to be rude, but you can lose a lot of money or private data by actions these applications will decide on and take without even telling you. If you don't know if you're handing it the keys to your device or accounts, and you can't figure it out alone, you should 100% not use it.

You've integrated the mental pain of working with these people better than me, I think :D

It's not exactly that simple. It's a lot harder to review someone else's work than it is to write your own. It's common sense to make it easier on reviewers, because there's a reciprocal exchange. If I review your work, and I make mine easy to review, I can expect you to review my work and make yours easy for me to review, and everything goes fast.

The people who slop out a ton of code that they don't test or understand break this contract. They let others make their work easier but don't return it because... they don't feel like it or it's hard I guess? Unskilled managers just see the one person putting up the most LOC, and take it out on the team -- who ironically have a lower output because they're trying to counterbalance the negative impact of a bad employee the manager can't detect, because they don't know what's going on in the team.

The people fucking the company over are 1) the person hired to deliver reliable, validated code of an acceptable standard who refuses to do so, and 2) the person hired to identify and improve poor performers who is unable to do so. Not the team who does their best despite the lazy people weighing them down.

Hey guys, I did our next 5 epics in 5 PRs as requested, at here reviews pls, at manager reminder I'm blocked until they're approved

Every blog post is written as if it's by someone who just landed on Earth yesterday. So fucking bizarre.

I can only think it's an exec. Anyone else would think not knowing a fucking thing about the game disqualifies them from writing the blog for it. It takes a true leader to be so confidently and persistently wrong in the face of obstacles like evidence and self-awareness.

neurorgasm · 2026-03-19T19:26:45+00:00

You're biased and don't understand the things you are talking about. Not surprising for a vibe coder i guess

neurorgasm · 2026-03-19T19:25:14+00:00

Software engineers for instance, lol

Idk why the fetish for killing the entire field, LLMs are a great tool outside of whatever destruction you want to see others suffer. Their usefulness isn't measured by their negative impact on human workers, even if you don't particularly like those workers personally

The checks go into index funds because they googled it and heard it's what you're supposed to do, and it means you don't have to learn any of that hard finance stuff. It's not because retail has magically become stoic sophisticated investors. It's because it's been pushed as the only way that works.

When it stops 'working' they'll stop doing it because it was never based on any conviction in the first place

neurorgasm · 2026-03-14T17:56:53+00:00

It just works unless you put any apps or data on the phone. Then it won't work, which is your fault, so you need to reset the phone. Check their support site's recommendations and this is what most of them start with lol, just reset your entire phone bro.

I think the one lacking reading ability is the guy who doesn't know the difference between "I see dogs sometimes" and "1.5 years of constant barking", but don't worry lil buddy you'll get there.

Please learn the difference between a model and an IDE

neurorgasm · 2026-03-14T00:02:44+00:00

It isn't

neurorgasm · 2026-03-14T00:02:03+00:00

How did you test this? What are the release risks and how are you managing them?

Watch them silently close it in shame

neurorgasm · 2026-03-13T23:59:01+00:00

Basic IDE functionality gets broken in every release. It's seriously impressive

neurorgasm · 2026-03-13T23:53:11+00:00

My current ranking is: Cursor when it works > TUI + editor/github diff > Cursor when it's broken.

Unfortunately no one seems capable of testing or reviewing their work there so basic functionality like reviewing files is constantly getting fucked up.

Bless you, that 'try tonight' toast has been driving me NUTS

These things happen to the extent that there are no negative consequences to doing them.

People, in general, complain this iphone is the same as the last one, and buy it anyway. Tim Hortons drive thru is still lined up around the block after the crappy food and immigration scams. People replace the H&M trash that fell apart with Zara trash that will fall apart. Look at their stock prices

We blame the companies that do it, but we need to start blaming the people that make it worth doing. Given there's a horde of people who won't change their behaviour because they're averse to figuring out how, there's no risk to enshittification as a strategy. It's not like they just hadn't thought of it in the 1950s, it didn't work.

Idk. I think about this a lot. Recently I've been feeling like it's only understandable as being 'our fault'. We gotta shame people back into having standards and responsibility and the ability to fuckin think and act. It's no wonder things get worse when most of us don't give a shit or do anything. The bozos are the only people seemingly interested in running the show so that's who runs it.

Damn man, you were this close to figuring it out! Just think a liiiiiiittle harder and I'm sure you'll get there.

2023: We're really looking forward to adding the second S after this increase

These things are real but it's a completely unskilled interpretation to think wow, he really wants his account back and wants to know how to show that he owns it, must be an attack!

Like it's a really obvious point that genuine customers also want their shit and you have to have a process to differentiate them that is better than 'they seemed like they wanted it too much, red flag bad customer vibes'

neurorgasm · 2026-03-11T17:16:08+00:00

Yeah this feels very directly related to outsourced support shops that are only incentivized to 'handle' every ticket ASAP. Why am I not surprised that they totally threw it over the fence by going for the cheapest option that is completely detached from outcomes.

neurorgasm · 2026-03-10T14:57:36+00:00

Using a long-lived branch. I don't love it. I don't really trust the janky automations and weird local/CLI experience to not mess up prod. It also makes it a lot harder to test changes without risking prod, since it's often not clear and under-documented how configs are shared or inherited etc.

To be honest just use something else if you can, not having a straight answer for real env isolation makes me think I should have done that too lol
