Rust dev, I enjoy reading and playing games, I also usually like to spend time with friends.

it’s clear at this point already that Zig is a weakly-typed language
Uhm… pretty sure it isn’t.
They seem to think any type inference makes for a weak typing, judging by their previous rant about auto in C++
So, yeah, author’s views are a bit special, not sure this article will help me be better :(
Albeit true, I want to note that some languages encourage such practices way more than others do. Also, when you’ve got a hammer everything looks like a string nail.
By printing memes on it?
Vibe coding is when you’re not coding, just typing prompts into AI in hopes it will produce a legible code.
Source I found from a link on Stack overflow
Also, the could be better if it had alt text
I find this statement to be a bit contradictory to your point of ‘there is no “best” solution’
I don’t think vibe-coding is particularly good thing, but I find it completely normal for someone to just want to vibe something up and not want to understand. It’s not always a useful approach, but sometimes it might be a ‘best’ strategy, too
That’s just short for JavaScript, isn’t it?
If that’s a joke, it’s a good one. Otherwise, well, there are a lot of “this letter isn’t needed let’s throw it away,” in most cases it will not work as good as you think.
Not everything that’s poorly written is ai, you should give humans more credit
We have an engineering manager that’s about the same, the only issue is that they let PR through because features are wanted and there’s no time to get things right.
I think, I may be pleased to have to redo everything several times to make it better and simpler, but what we get is that everything is bad but we’ll still merge 😞
I now feel at several times I fucked up quite a lot by making something that works but not something simpler.
One can be pro- or anti- any concept or thing, some options just make more sense
I don’t think this operator is a real feature, tbh 😅
because I’m not interested in arguing
This sounds more toxic to me, tbf
If you want an unsolicited advice:
There may be reasons to keep building everything from the ground up (usually reproducible builds and security are presented as such), but there also may be ways to fix build times while adhering to the requirements.
We use Nix for building and binary cache plays nicely with it, but it is also not always too fast, it’s hard to start with, most of our team hates it and wants to replace with something simple (not fruitfully, yet), but it may solve some of the issues.
That is, if you want to solve those, I’m not sure I would if I were in such a situation.
I couldn’t agree more with the latter part, I know a lot of backend engineers who consider frontend simple without ever trying what it really takes. This is not a healthy way to view someone else’s work, and it usually produces friction between back and front end teams
I was toldo the other day that in ten years there will be no testers because developers will do all the testing.
I’ve seen how it works out in practice: there’s not enough time for testing and for developing, too, developers are going to burn and the product is going to be shit done and shit tested. Maybe it works if your company is willing to spend extra for less results by someone doing all the stuff less efficient than what they could, but that’s a rare occurrence.
Also, if this is only a change in managing bugs, nothing may have changed except for more bug tracking for trivial bugs, or the opposite, ignoring more severe bugs
Yeah, I wanted to reference Dune, too, but then thought that it’s not a very rare trope. On a related note, I took a look at tvtropes and it says that in the Dune the AI didn’t wage war, it was humans that didn’t like what AI does and prohibited it. I read the books too long ago to remember if this is so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, but they literally used the term as used in Warhammer lore: A.I.
In Warhammer AI is forbidden on the grounds of past wars with humanity
But then someone will have to deal with it somewhere, better just unwrap it under the carpet.
