I just wonder why, from all the things you can vibecode, you would pick a database if you don't know the first thing about database design?

Iran was still selling oil to China and others. Those now have to buy somewhere else, so it does affect our prices.

But that's not in the article and I don't get it: what's in it for these bot networks, how do they get paid?

Please read the discussion before you comment. Infrastructure damage is because of Ukraine's actions, not because of trump. We were discussing trump's actions benefiting Russia. Not saying it's on purpose, probably incompetence.

Re:ASML firing 1700 people, mostly managers
on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @04:20AM (#46792968)
I worked for a big Belgian technology company in the past. It was surprisingly lean in terms of management structure. Then Philips television, which had a big division not too far away, went bankrupt and a lot of those people got absorbed into our company. Within a couple of years the Philips people were able to transform the company to be very management/top heavy until nothing worked anymore.

On the other hand, we're the only high paid workers that provide so much work for free through open source. Sure, there's lawyers and doctors that do the occasional pro bono, nut nothing on the scale you find in software development.

Re:IKEA for Software

Yes AI solves this issue in the best way. It's really good at adding features that have already been built many times, but in a way that's customized to your needs and code style.
Re:IKEA for Software
on Saturday January 17, 2026 @01:50AM (#46655893)
I don't think the ikea analogy works. Ikea is like a low code solution, which the article also mentions as being too limiting. If you can't design the closet you want in the ikea pax or platsa system, you're also out of luck and will need to get something completely custom built. Especially since the paper honeycomb Ikea furniture doesn't lend itself to modifications.

To me, what sucks the most about programming is dealing with ecosystem issues. You want to write a little tool for personal use, but NPM starts acting out. Then you need to do something in java, which you don't use very often, and you get a giant maven error stack trace which you now need to try and understand. All of this frustration is gone since I use AI and I can focus solely on the thing I'm trying to accomplish.
