Mirror Giraffe

I’ve been vibing a bit in my spare time, and in the beginning I didn’t look too much at the cost because I was more interested in quickly reaching some sort of mvp state but then I had to manually troubleshoot a thing and wow it was so full of hardcoded bullshit, which was so insanely far from how I was im envisioning it.

I had to backtrack a lot and then started doing like you and tell it what I wanted the code to look like.

I’m making a game and I just ai for parts of the code and and for assets currently. I make it because I’m 43 and been programming my entire life and yet never took the time to make a game.

If I ever were to release it on any store, I’d replace the assets with human made and declare that I’ve had LLM assistance in coding, no matter if there’s a role about it or not.

Basically I know it’s important to some people and I don’t want them to accidentally spend money on something they hate. It would be like sneaking meat into a vegetarian dish.

The concept of “loops” is the cause of lots of iteration.

More like 12 years.

Twenty-five years ago I drove taxi for a few years and during training they were very clear that relying on gps prohibits you from learning. Taxi people knew that.

For the last fifteen years I’ve been a software engineer and in this field, the ability to pick up and maintain knowledge are cornerstones of the job. Having someone do your tasks for you will degrade your abilities to get said tasks done. CS people knows that.

Management however thinks that we will not need those skills in the future.

I’m not big on religion and I find many religious people problematic but Sikh people have been extremely hospitable and accommodating and friendly. I’m sure there are rotten eggs but a religion that is based on actual tolerance and doesn’t want to shut down other people’s beliefs seems to be a pretty good way to get the followers to behave.

Been using insomnia and I haven’t really liked the direction they’re going. Is there any tool to migrate my projects?

Yeah i can’t see Google keep sending mobile users to reddit.

To be fair, I’d probably prefer the 4gb model.

This has been the case since way before the LLM boom but it has definitely moved into a higher gear.

Thing is lockdown and integrity checks are much stricter these days, and you can’t rely on these things to continue working either.

I’d have a backup phone to deal with id and banking.

If children sex dolls are readily available it risks normalizing the concept of sex with children. Both for potential pedophiles as well as children who browse shein, might get the impression that adults having sex with children is a thing.

Nah, they’ll just push for streaming compute power and charge you once more!

I don’t get this.

Someone posts an article, someone else enjoys it and tells them not to get discouraged by the crowd that doesn’t like the content and gets downvoted?

Afaik luddite is not an insult but maybe I’m wrong. Anyhow I feel a vocal section of the anti llm crew are just looking to discourage anyone who’s not aligning 100% with their battle.

Frog civil rights are just around the corner, the movement is stronger than ever!

Yeah I hope I am cautious enough. I use strict db models that were man written and have type checking and sanitation. That along with unit tests that cover everything I’ve been able to think of that can go right or wrong combined with the classic “obscurity===security” motto.

Of course there are always vectors one hasn’t thought of, but that goes for man made projects as well. If I decide to bring it live and scale up I’ll probably order a pen test.

I’ve been writing a slightly larger project with frontend, bff and backend and I need to take it in small batches so that I can catch when it misunderstands or outright does a piss job of implementing something. I’ve been focusing a lot on getting all the unit tests I need in place which makes me feel a bunch better.

The bigger and more complex the projects get, the harder it is for the LLM to keep stuff in context which means I’ll have to improve my chunking out smaller scoped implementations or start writing code myself I think.

All in all I feel pretty safe with my project and pleased with the agents work but I need to increase testing further before bringing anything live.

You are completely correct, and to be honest I’ve tested commercial product features in prod as well on teams that have the capacity to handle it and make a living on it, unlike this maintainer.

I’m also experimenting heavily with vibe coding and I think it has many uses for a seasoned programmer while getting a lot of flak.

Of course there are issues and problems with it, but for me it had been helping out a lot.
