This.

My take on vibe coding is simple: Don't.

At least not the way most people understand it. I'm totally ok with having an AI do the tedious work. But only do it on stuff you could do yourself (i.e. you're just saving time). Because otherwise, you'll never be able to maintain it.

This, in general, is the whole problem: The entire "vibe coding" movement only worries about CREATING code. But in the real world, maintaining, updating, refactoring, reviewing, testing, bugfixing, etc. etc. are typically more effort than writing it in the first place.

Comment Re:BNPL groceries = groceries on credit cards (Score 1) 94

Fuck debit cards. A: no rewards. My current card pays a % of purchases back as cash. I'd literally be losing money if I swapped to a debit card. B: if the card number is stolen (and let's face it this day and age it will be at some point) it's MY money being stolen not the bank's. If you have a good bank they will fix it quickly but it's still a lot more hassle that if it happens with a credit card. If you have the means and discipline to pay it off every month, credit card is the way to go. Bonus: the card issuer will hate you for costing them money.

So you disable all the tracking and that's cool and all but a lot of businesses use that tracking to decide whether or not you're committing fraud or not. So you use Firefox and they can't track you but then they won't let you make purchases on their website...

I use Firefox daily and have for several years now and I have never, once, run into this issue.

Comment Re:Meanwhile in America (Score 2) 92

But I was specifically referring to the sort of ginormous pick-up trucks that are rather popular in America. Most of them have a 0-60 time of eventually.

My F150 has a 0-60 of around 5.5 seconds. Big truck or not, its twin-turbo v6 can move it surprisingly quickly. And it is not a high-end performance model like the Raptor, just a plain XL with the 3.5L option.

He's upset that he gave up a treasure trove of incredibly valuable data for nothing more than some help raising money and a few contacts.

Well that and $70m, most likely per year like their $60m deal with Google for the same thing: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsearchengineland.com%2Fo...

If people can run legacy Windows apps without Windows, they will gladly move to a new platform simply to be free of Antimalware Service Executable and the constant useless updates.

That's the fun part though: You can't. At least not with this solution. This is just thin client computing. They run windows servers in their DC, your IT installs your apps, configures everything like what app icons to present to what users, and you login to a web portal. Yes, the endpoint doesn't need to be Windows (Although MS still gets a cut from it since you need a RDS CAL) but you still need Windows on the back-end. Citrix has being doing this for decades now. You can see the architecture on their site: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelpcenter.cameyo.com%2F...
