If I had to give a physical analogy to why I hate "vibe coding", I'd say it's someone designing a bridge, but they know nothing about the actual physics involved or the materials or anything else. Sure the LLM has the schematics and design specs of thousands of other bridges in it, and the user can probably keep fucking with the prompt until the bridge LOOKS good, and maybe for simple bridges it can even take normal loads of traffic. Like a regular freeway overpass? There's a million of those and they're not all that complicated. But once it gets bigger and more complicated or you want to make it unique and pretty and such, it can no longer be trivially copypasta, and who the fuck knows what horrors lie inside.

Discussions around job automation annoy me so much: “$technology can’t replace everything I do so how could there possibly be any job loss” — If it replaces half of what you do then the demand for people like you halves, we don’t need 100% job loss for there to be a big problem! “$technology also creates some jobs” — yes, but what’s the NET effect? Doesn’t matter if it creates 1% new jobs if we loss 20% of existing ones
@keefeglise @anon_opin Only once you’ve exceeded the tax free amounts. IIRC it’s £500 for dividends, £3000 for capital gains, and a similar amount for renting out a spare room (assuming the original poster was taking about the U.K., which most AnonOpins are)
@anon_opin And caramelized onions too. So much energy is wasted shipping large bulbs for me to cook down in small quantities when the end product freezes well and can be added to lots of dishes
@jasongorman One of several small improvements that Jujutsu makes over Git. It's not required, so I can't speak for how it may compare to TDD, but it's perfectly possible to describe the current change even when it's still empty.
@anon_opin Only thing it’s good for is French toast
