I'm probably not explaining this well, but I feel like writing code from scratch has the effect of making us slow down and think more deeply and more globally about what we're writing. Reading vibe code "localizes" our attention to the correctness of the code produced and clogging the processes that otherwise think about connection of this code to other parts of the system.

I know it wasn't the intention of the author in the slightest, but I feel so small and incapable after reading that piece. Good luck bess.

... and water is wet.

The exponent was reduced from 0.60 to 0.52. The bar for getting excited has dropped so much ...

A perfect liberal wet dream.

Like everything in the last 20 years (silicon photonics, graphene, spintronics,...) "it promises to one day revolutionize computing" (a day that never comes !)

Incoming article on how it disproportionately affects disadvantaged groups ! (women, blacks, lgbtqwtf+).

Loss for DEI

But its ahead in DEI !

A humanities NPR "Reporter" wishing his job will not be automated by AI.

Professors: Lying, cheating, back-stabbing for a fistful of federal dollars. These same leeches brought us DEI. Next the feminists will cry discrimination ("Academic honor code disproportionately affects women!!")

No, animals arent conscious. Kill them indiscriminately and brutally. Happy Bakrid everyone !

Every LLM answr ever... "You asked a question about sorting linked lists, but it is important to be respectful and not promote harmful stereotypes and always keep in mind that black people were systematically discriminated against in technical fields"

Anyone else feels as if acidic bile is rising up their throats at the mention of the word "startup"? I think it is my mind's simulated response to toxic culture, colossally bad deals for most startup employees, and the vile VCs.

Single moms with sociology degrees unable to wrap their heads around power law.

At this point, you have to be colossally stupid to work for a startup. Assume options are worth $0, demand market salaries, and close-to-market benefits.

Modi's fault !

Rubbish, He belongs to a protected group, he cant be toxic.

They dont want to interrupt the good OpenAI is doing in the world, dont ya know

Also in a startup, you'll gain the transferrable skill of sucking VC dick while doing a one-handed hand-stand.

TIL: people write lewd letters to their partners on Google docs.

I don't get why my comment is "flagged". I guess I should just axiomatically accept that they're nice people. ok well..

Flagged? I don't get what was offensive about my question. I'll need to learn HN logic I guess.

Dont say that out loud though...

Doesn't he, like, leave every month and then return? Oh sorry, I'm prolly thinking of Andrej.

Far better

Competitive sports isn't for everybody, regardless of your ability to work hard. If you aren't built for it, you're going to be a failure or a mediocre success. Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone either.

Silicon Valley normalized the idea that if you follow the scientific process (The Lean Method, finding Product/Market Fit or whatever this garbage is known in the latest terminology), and burn out for 10 years of your life, then you WILL achieve success. Most people are blind to survivorship bias even if they know the phenomenon. On top of it, incompetent, scumbag VCs muddy the waters with their snake oil "wisdom" which bright eyed, impressionable tech bros gulp down with passion.

If you achieve a "mediocre" success, which allows you financial independence, then you HAVE achieved success, regardless of what the VCs are pontificating. They'd scream because their investment didn't 1000x. Fuck them and continue living your life. Don't burn out for these soul-less MBAs.

And say you achieve the outsized "success". What then? If you go with the history of silicon valley then your so-called success is going to be a shit deal for workers, consumers and the environment.

Ok and the islamic world is bastion of female empowerment. Understood.

Cmon Assistant Professors ! Start grinding on those proposals ! They aint gon write themselves !

Professors are the worst scum. These are the same people who'd become expert witnesses for the tobacco industry in the 60's, advocating risky financial instruments in 2000s, requiring DEI statements in 2010s, and generally fighting like dogs over morsels of defense funding.
