  • It’s not just for coding either. Yesterday, my senior director used Google’s AI to ask about the architecture to integrate one of our vendor products with our ERP system (usually my job). Fortunately the AI did me a solid and said “This is a highly complex integration 🤯”.

    Yeah… No shit, that’s why so many of us are employed. Shit’s complicated.


  • I honestly thought vibe coding was a joke until someone posted a video about it and then realized people were serious.

    It’s basically the equivalent to your friend who has a brilliant idea for an app and just needs you to do the coding for it - without having any clue how IT actually works.

    In Colorado, one of my wife’s friends is what most people (I say this, knowing the Lemmy political scale is vastly different from most Americans) would consider super liberal. She’s also very outspoken and politically active, so she has no problems telling everyone she knows how to vote on every issue.

    Last election, we were at her house and she mentioned that she was against ranked choice voting. When I asked her why, she pointed to her voting guide provided by the Colorado Democratic Party. She just blindly accepts that because the party says it’s bad, then it’s bad.

    After seeing that, it wasn’t surprising to me when the proposition failed.






  • Trump has since begun to soften some of the measures, granting exemptions for smartphones, semiconductors and electronics and claiming the US and China were in direct contact “every day”.

    On Tuesday, the president said tariffs would come down “substantially” and a deal would be done “pretty quickly”.

    But the Chinese foreign ministry on said any reports that China and the US were nearing a deal were “fake news”.

    “There have been no consultations or negotiations between China and the United States regarding tariffs, let alone reaching an agreement,” said ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

    This is classic Trump. Lie about how easy something will be and how great he’s making things, all while delivering horse shit and counting on your supporters to be too dumb to listen to what’s actually going on.


  • Ugh this just reminded me that I ran into this exact issue a couple years ago. We were running jobs every hour to ingest data from an API into our data warehouse. Eventually we got reports from users about having gaps in our data. We dug into it for days trying to find a pattern, but couldn’t pinpoint anything. We were just missing random pieces of data, but our jobs never reported any failures.

    Eventually we were able to determine the issue. HTTP 200 with “error: true” in the response. Fml
