Know a guy who tried to use AI to vibe code a simple web server. He wasn’t a programmer and kept insisting to me that programmers were done for.

After weeks of trying to get the thing to work, he had nothing. He showed me the code, and it was the worst I’ve ever seen. Dozens of empty files where the AI had apparently added and then deleted the same code. Also some utter garbage code. Tons of functions copied and pasted instead of being defined once.

I then showed him a web app I had made in that same amount of time. It worked perfectly. Never heard anything more about AI from him.

“no, having a meeting about it won’t help, it will just waste my time that I could be using to figure out the problem.”

This describes literally every python contract job I’ve ever had.

lmao what book is this?

Looks like the kidnapper also stole the null terminator for this string!

Doesn’t stop your manager from requiring support for the other 4%.

You make it sound like this doesn’t happen frequently.

Any context on him “trashing his reputation”?

The tools will be fairly specific to the game you’re hacking. For example, a lot of tools exist for GBA Pokemon games, but something like porymap won’t work for another game.

Honestly, you ever tried to look back through a long thread on Discord? It’s impossible. If you want to read the original message that started the thread, good luck, you’ll be scrolling all day and may never get there. How anyone can claim that’s “easy to use” is beyond me.

Discord works for quick discussions happening right now, and that’s it.

I don’t really get why we need social media elements in GitHub at all

First 1/3rd is a bit of fluff but after that, good article.

Ah yes, the Wadsworth constant.

What does “FE” stand for in this context? Sorry if it’s obvious, I just don’t see anywhere that it’s actually written out.

I sure hope this is not how most CS courses are being taught

You gonna do Rust again?

I thought problem inputs were randomized for each user?

Anyone got a non-paywalled link?

It’s been this way for years. Really?

Oh, is this what they meant by “commenting your code”?

Why the heck does it need to be dynamically allocated? Just put that puppy on the stack.
