What a year

Hahahaha we can just call them sodas

I literally prefer the taste of many of the sugar-free Monster to any other soda, like Coke, Pepsi (ew), whatever.

It's 2025, people, we have the tech to create this, right? Please tell me we do!

I had to quit Monster at the request of my psychiatrist since we changed my ADHD meds. That said, I don't drink Monster for the "energy", it's just for the taste.

When will someone make a carbonated drink that tastes like Monster but without all the bad shit? Also, sugar-free, please.

I really don't like when I have to be the adult and responsible one.

That means the people I'm dealing with are behaving worse than little children.

I feel you, Claude...

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Loving all the progress I keep seeing, keep it up! 😍

Alone, in quotes, 'cause although I'm the only one writing the actual code, I would NEVER have done this without the backend folks.

I might've typed the code myself, but their help, ideas, and most of all, their backend code made this possible.

That's why I love my job and my team.

The project I'm responsible for at work is almost 50k lines of code.

I'm the only one working on this. From the concept, over a year ago, to now in production and starting to acquire clients.

I'm kinda proud of myself here. I would never have thought that I would be able to handle this "alone".

It isn't easy for sure. But we must try :)

I'm extremely happy creating small tools for games, just like I am these days.

My own decisions, ideas, and code. Everything works great, controlling front to back.

BUT I still want to make some sort of idle game in Godot to release on Steam at some point lol

I'm my worst (and only) enemy.

I'm so close to finishing something, and then I get totally demotivated and start sabotaging myself.

Hopefully, I can overcome that today! No distractions, LET'S GO!

THIS IS SO COOL!

What a nostalgic morning lol

For some mysterious reason, I woke up remembering old Naruto songs.

So, of course, I'm spending my morning listening to Blue Bird and Haruka Kanata on repeat.

Life is funny

Vibe++

This is what needs a new term.

This "black or white" definition of "or you're a vibe coder or a real programmer" needs to go.

I've been coding for almost 16y at this point. I'm a programmer.

I also ask AI to build a multitude of things in parallel to make me more productive.

What am I? lol

For example (of course, sensor-related work, as it's a work-related repository): this is 1.3k lines worth of plans.

Yes, I could ask AI to read this and go 'yolo', but that's dumb. This would be vibe coding.

My process is: what can I do while tasking AI to do something else? Parallel work.

We need a new term for coding with AI.

A "middle of the road" between vibe coding and being a good programmer.

I do not consider what I do vibe coding by a long shot. I write a lot of code, I put AI to write a lot of code, and I review a lot of code.

I also task AI to generate a ton of plans.

All things considered, 2025 has been a good year for me.

Tons of learning and growing. I'm pretty happy with how it is going so far, and I'm hoping that this final push continues to be as good.

No particular reason, just random realizations of the night.

The lighting and graphics look amazing. Congrats.

Thing you can get away when working on personal projects: commit messages.

I feel like fighting AI, at this point, probably looks the same as people fighting the invention of the car when horses did just fine.

I mean. I don't want to die in a hill of selling horseshoe in 2025.

That's the difference I see people neglecting.

One thing is a zero knowledge person building shit with AI that is broken on birth. That's definitely gone.

Another is a mediocre person, like me, going beyond because of AI. That's cool af

My feeling about the whole AI talk is: it isn't here to replace me. It's here to work with me doing something better.

I have zero fear of being replaced by AI with my current knowledge and experience with it.

I'll 100% produce more and better shit with it.

There's an argument to be made here that AI made me "work more".

I have to digress. Although the final code wasn't up to my standards, it was definitely better than something I would come up, from scratch, by myself.

I'm making it better, but wouldn't make a good first shot as AI did.
