Looking at the current state of software reliability, #vibecoding seems to only have good vibes for the devs, not so much so the users.

A sufficiently thought out deployment of #sqlite is indistinguishable from “the usual prod databases”. - simplespuns 10th rule

There’s two kinds of developers: the ones who love #clojure and the ones that don’t know about it yet.

When you’re the last one unwilling to accept #rust as the lord and saviour

It seems people don’t know basic things about databases because they’re acidic?

The irony here, specially if you’re a #clojure programmer

This is what I am seeing across the market "Use AI to get more done, so the company can deliver faster with less added expense." And "Since its the AI tools delivering the increase in performance, no raises"

Given the current trajectory, a job in the tech industry may eventually require the use of generative AI tools, no different than being forced to learn and use a computer, email, or coffee maker if it's determined to maximize profits.

Unfortunately, quality takes a back seat to profit.

Why was Redis not in the Epstein files?

Because it runs in-memory.

Let's build a technology so powerful it can end civilization, but don't worry, we'll run it in a sandbox we vibe coded so it can't read your email.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary.

It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Like nix is. *Runs away*

Looks neat. Brb while I use an actual production lisp.

Is lsp built in? I thought you need to use github.com/emacs-lsp/ls... unlike neovim

Use 20th century features like LSP and better 18th century editors like neovim when?

It’s called ‘vs code’ because the code is an enemy you are fighting

They hate us so much but we love each other more

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

Well we have corollary:

Computers are Garbage In Garbage Out and Computer Science is to do that as efficiently as possible.

Technically a Caesar cipher is military-grade encryption. They don’t mention *which* military
