I think this is great. I like hearing about your experience in the VFX industry since itās unfamiliar to me as a web dev. The storyboard comparison is spot on. I like that people can drum up a āwhat ifā at such a fast pace, but vibe coders need to be aware that itās not a final product. You can spin it up, gauge what works and what doesnāt, and now you have feasibility with low overhead. Thereās real value to that.
Edit: forgot to touch on your PR comment.
At work, we have an optional GitHub workflow that lets you call Claude in a PR and it will do its own assessment based on the instructions file we wrote for it. We stress that itās not a final say and will make mistakes, but itās been good in a pinch. I think if it misses 5 things but uncovers 1 bug, thatās still a win. Iāve definitely had āa-haā moments with it where my dumb brain failed to properly handle a condition or something. Our company is good about using it responsibly and supplying as much context as we possibly can.
Lmao glad I could help! I hate those big commits. Theyāre so much harder to traverse and know whatās going on. Developer experience has been big on my mind lately. Working 5 days a week is already hard, but there are moments when we can make tiny bits easier for each other.
I donāt really care about vibe coders but as a dev with just under 2 decades in the field:
Your vibe coding shit will not go to prod until humans fully review it
You better review it yourself first before offloading that massive mental drain to someone else (which means you still need to have some semblance of programming skills). Donāt open a PR with 250 files in it and then tell someone else to validate it.
Use more context. Donāt give it vague ass prompts.
Donāt use auto-accept. Thatās just lazy asshole shit.
I canāt stress this enough: if you give me a PR with tons of new files and expect me to review it when you didnāt even review it yourself, I will 100% reject it and make you do it. If itās all dumped into a single commit, I will whip your computer into the nearest body of water and tell you to go fish it out.
I donāt care what AI tool wrote your code. Youāre still responsible for it and I will blame you.
Welcome to your new life! It's nice having such a lightweight OS that isn't constantly trying to send your data to every advertiser on earth. I love the peace of mind. Pop_OS is a good choice too! Even as someone that has been using Linux for years, I still go for the it-just-works-out-of-the-box distros.
Itās absolutely amazing to me the lengths this administration will go to lick the boots of Israelāa country that has been actively carrying out a goddamn genocide since the 1940s. Zionists are the scum of the earth. They rival the Nazis.
Wow, Iām honored! I know weāve definitely crossed paths before because I remember the username. Always makes me laugh. I love how tight-knit the Lemmy community is.
Ninja edit: how do you assign tags to a user? Iām on the Mlem app but canāt find that feature.
Itās becoming one of those things where more and more people have some bits and pieces from the spectrum. Iām convinced that a big contributor is how stupidly fast-paced our society is, and the amount of information we are expected to constantly be processing.
Iāve always been multi-faceted, but itās trapped in a brain that fucking squanders it. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 90s. Programmer for decades; sang in a band; been drawing off and on since I was a kid; have an insane ear for following drum arrangements and knowing whatās coming; ice and inline skater since I was a child (grew up playing hockey).
No energy or drive to put all of it to use. Terrible student and traditional teaching environments have never worked for me. I was always labeled ālazyā or hit with the same āhe has potential, but [ā¦]ā bullshit. Programming and computer science stuff were the only things that really panned out for me. Managed to make a career out of it, despite having garbage grades, so thatās been the upside. But I always have those daydreams that crop up where I wonder what couldāve been if I had stuck more heavily with hockey, singing, or art.
Regardless, Iām in my 40s now and I like who Iāve become at the end of it all, I still skate, and Iāve been getting back into art again. You have to keep reminding yourself that everyoneās measure for success is different and you have to refrain from attaching that success to some bullshit capitalist-driven metric that ultimately means fuck all.
Any CEO that thinks a user should roll over and accept having 12 separate accounts to stream everything they want, is either monumentally fucking stupid, or just a disingenuous, greedy fuck. Iāll stick to Stremio + RD and they can rot while their stock plunges. I do not care.
Lol their first AI instruction might as well be something like ādonāt ever use facts or truth in your responses.ā Theyāre just snatching up another avenue through which to pump their dog shit ideologies and propaganda.
I should reframe what I said: there is not a single profitable AI-focused company. There are tons of already profitable companies that are now deeply embedding AI into everything they do.
Like Zitron says in the article, weāre 3 years into the AI era and there is not a single actually profitable company. For comparison, the dot-com bubble was
About 5-6 years from start to bust. Itās all smoke and mirrors and sketchy accounting.
Even if/when the AI hype settles and perhaps the tech finds its true (profitable) calling, the tech itself is still insanely expensive to run and train. Itās going to boil down to Microsoft and/or X owning nuclear power plants, and everyone else renting usage from them.
People are making money in AI, but like always, itās the founders and C-suite, while the staff are kicked to the curb. Itās all a shell game and everyone that has integrated AI into their lives and company workflows, is gonna get the rug pulled out from under them.
