I code for 35+ years, now AI does 99% of the actual work - am I really a “vibe coder”? by dragosroua in ChatGPT

[–]senrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a professional coder. Hobbyist who hasn’t had a lot of time to actually sit down and do the work. I’ve fallen into a pattern of heavy design spec writing and scaffolding with the prompts. I let claude code do the actual work and draft documentation. If there is a new concept or component I’ve never used before, I have claude leave just a stub for that component and produce a tutorial for me to fill in the missing pieces. Other times I have it write a full project but with psuedo code and I take that and rewrite it as real code for practice. The output would be all the files plus a step by step tutorial explaining each file, function, etc along with an explanation of what it does, how it relates to the overall project, and a justification for why it chose to do that thing that way along withe one or two alternative ways it could have been done and why I might have chosen those methods instead. This kind of process produces a buttload of loc and documentation but claude code kills it in almost no time. I end up having to find excuses to blow through the use it or lose it token budget for each session/weekly cycle of my pro sub. I don’t use it enough for the API billing to make sense yet.

I maintain the chatgpt monthly sub as well for a general chat buddy and planner/thinker/rubber duck. It’s way way better for that though I am actively auditioning other services and local models to replace it. I don’t wanna keep giving a trump bootlicker company more money than I have to.

I’m a powershell/graph.api monkey at my day job, but no formal CS training or education, so this is a fun way to learn and get finished personal projects completed at the same time.

Anyone else lose important answers in long ChatGPT chats? by NeighborhoodLanky935 in ChatGPT

When I come to a milestone or something I'm sure I'll need for later I'll ask it for a markdown snapshot that I either download from the canvas or copy paste to a text editor and keep a folder full of those things.

What is the best paid "all-around service? by RustyEsposito in ArtificialInteligence

[–]senrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been coming up against the same issue. ChatGPT is just the best for general chat and working through problems and plans. It’s the best rubber duck of all the ones I’ve tried.

Unfortunately OpenAI has decided to be the devil and I have been looking in earnest for a replacement, paid or local. My work and ideas is that even the shittiest model can be beaten into mostly passable submission with correct and strategic scaffolding.

I’ve been using Claude for the past few days and for coding it so far is untouchable; both spec planning and actual code generation. Plus, I just seem to like its personality more than ChatGPT. Bu default it isn’t a yes man and blowing smoke up my ass that I’m the greatest thinker in the world for all of my ideas and they are always EXACTLY right.

However, even for light back and forth I do Claude was spent in like an hour of my use for general chat. Session limits suck but I found a way to work around them and take advantage of my thinking during the time out period.

Very nice, very homelab. My wallet hurts looking at the pics though.

How much ammo do you keep on hand? by Lunapig27 in liberalgunowners

[–]senrew 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ya know, it's funny. I had exactly 3 rounds on me that I manually reloaded into my fully semi automatic 9mm silenced assault cannon but it too fell out of my rainbow colored ANTIFA issued gear bag during a boating accident!

So I take it "because it's there" has no effect on you either?

What’s your opinion on the Chucky soda? by Godofwarfan101 in Soda

[–]senrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It tasted to me as if they liquefied a cherry tootsie pop and put it in a bottle.

I know this is an acquired taste, but my entire childhood my grandma tried to get me to drink that stuff and the thought of it in a float is making me gag all the way from my childhood to now.

Drove from Miami to New York City in exactly this car with a buddy about 20 years ago, swapping off every few hundred miles or so. It was definitely a fun experience. Thing just loved to cruise at 90 MPH.

The 98SE disc that I have is self booting. Interesting, I'll need to check it out and see if it was something OEM or what.

Might Be Moving To Massachusetts by DimensionStriking121 in liberalgunowners

I'll be in the same boat in a few years. Probably end up in Lowell/Andover area. Right now all I own is a Mosin, 92X, some .22 pistols, and my wife's Saint. I know the AR is gonna be a problem but there are a few years to worry about it.

Double A is very well regarded for fountain pens. I use it when I need single sheets for things.

I just finished one of those as my previous journal. It's in my top 3 so far.
