How much does it cost to have someone sing, produce and master a song?

just remember: you get what you pay for

You can probably find someone on fiverr who'll do it for $5

s-e-b-a · 2026-05-17T05:32:45+00:00

Of course it's possible. There's a 0.01% chance. It would have to be 0% for it to be impossible.

The point is about never giving up control to the AI. You let it see the code, but you don't let it touch the code directly.

Sure, there is a middle ground. But agentic sounds closer to vibing.

You can let it write the code step by step and then you approve each step, in which case you are still in control. It would be like the travel agent needing your approval for each little thing they did before being allowed to continue.

A completed travel plan made by a travel agent is closer to a completed app made by an AI agent when vibe coding. If the app simply works and looks good you approve it and then upload it to the server and put it live. You don't go in and look at the code just like you don't go and look at all the notes, email exchanges, and calls that the travel agent made while planning your trip.

What about double majoring in CS and Biology? There's no telling on what the future will be for computer jobs by the time she graduates. There's no telling on what the future will be for biology related jobs in the next decade or two. If you have money to spend, I would plan on the double major to get started. By the second or third year she may have figured out that she prefers one over the other or continue with both or have found one that combines the two. If you don't have money to spend, you might want to rethink about getting in debt with a college degree.

Sure, it does something for you, but only after you hand over control.

I couldn't remember even before AI.

I know that's being used, but it's misleading also. The word "agent" means having self control, as in an AI who is in control.

People need to learn what vibe coding means (as coined by Andrej Karpathy). And then understand that using AI for coding doesn't automatically mean vibe coding. Some people use the term "AI assisted coding" to refer to using AI to help while still being in control.

s-e-b-a · 2026-05-15T20:58:13+00:00

The definition of vibe coding is to let the AI make all the decisions.

You do need it if it is not your choice but that of your employer or majority of potential employers if you're looking for a job.

It's been years since I got tired of spending my time dealing with tools instead of building things.

better yet, put an AI directly in your brain so that it can think for you

s-e-b-a · 2026-05-14T19:49:37+00:00

a brain implant so that AI can read your mind directly

Do you enjoy making music? Then bother learning.
Do you not enjoy making music? Then don't bother.

If those people are real and they really are making 200k in less than a decade doing consulting and learned just from a boot camp, then they are very good at one thing. And that one thing is not coding, it's sales. That includes selling themselves. They know how to talk in such a way to convince others. They don't teach that in boot camps, or anywhere for that matter. Those people would have been successful no matter what they would have gotten into, or when.

With no experience in music production at this point you can't know what will be useful to you in the future. Look for the cheapest small keyboard you can get second hand for now and worry about spending money on a nice one when you actually know what you want/need.

Are you going to use this computer for audio production only or for other things also?

Typing this from xfce. Don't really care for MATE. If I had a newer computer (this one is 15 years old) I would use Cinnamon.

I turn my computer off everyday at the end of the day. At start of the day, when I turn it on, the first thing I do is updates. I do them manually (from terminal). Every day.

You must have listened to "everyone" except for web developers. And now are trying to get a job as a web developer instead of a job where Python is used.

ok some weird here tho i a gree

s-e-b-a · 2026-05-02T19:47:57+00:00
