There’s a thriving C64 scene today. I’m more in the gameboy/DMG side of things but videos like that make me want to check it out further.

I wonder what the venn diagram of people that started coding as kids and people that enjoy vibe coding looks like. Informally, the degens on my squad that started on their parents’ computer loathe AI, and the people that stumbled into it in college are all about the vibe code.

I, for one, prefer the quiet dignity of controlling Leon Kennedy like a runaway semi with a gun.

Yep, and the newer ones are getting worse.

There was a senior dev at my first job that we called Lord Voldemort and he was the king of ungreppable variable names. Short, full of common characters, and none of them actually described what they were doing. I swear he only used characters that appeared in C++ keywords, so looking for fo would invariably tag every for statement in the file.

He also had hooks set up to notify when anyone was in his area of the code and you’d always get a two-hour phonecall where he’d slowly wear you down and browbeat you into backing out your changes. Every time I pulled a ticket in his codebase I’d internally shudder. He was friends and/or had dirt on the CTO so he just remained in that role and made everyone’s life hell.

I agree with you. Even if you never touch it, it’s nice to know what the libraries you’re calling are doing under the hood.

Have you played the second one? I begged my parents for weeks to rent it. Then I got it and… I can’t even describe it. At one point there’s a platformer puzzle room based on the Three Bears. I played it for a whole weekend because I couldn’t believe how awful it was.

maybe this will work

linting and unit tests

Lawyers all dragging screenshots of excitebike into court and counting the wheels.

A thing that hallucinates uncompilable code but somehow convinces your boss it’s a necessary tool.

Also the campground at any Phish show.

Strong “the meeting will continue until I have broken you” energy.

This whole thread makes me so mad. Well done.

👍

Can do.

Oh man yeah. I’d have to dig out the PS2 but I’d love a sequel to that. Mojo King Bee’s theme is still stuck in my head.

Weird. I just got done beating Link’s Awakening it sounds like they’re making a new tiny Zelda game. I’m in the middle of playing Superstar Saga and just watched this. I should go play Earthbound next.

As someone whose employer is strongly pushing them to use AI assistants in coding: no. At best, it’s like being tied to a shitty intern that copies code off stack overflow and then blows me up on slack when it magically doesn’t work. I still don’t understand why everyone is so excited about them. The only tasks they can handle competently are tasks I can easily do on my own (and with a lot less re-typing.)

Sure, they’ll grow over the years, but Altman et al are complaining that they’re running out of training data. And even with an unlimited body of training data for future models, we’ll still end up with something about as intelligent as a kid that’s been locked in a windowless room with books their whole life and can either parrot opinions they’ve read or make shit up and hope you believe it. I’ll think we’ll get a series of incompetent products with increasing ability to make wrong shit up on the fly until C-suite moves on to the next shiny bullshit.

That’s not to say we’re not capable of creating a generally-intelligent system on par with or exceeding human intelligence, but I really don’t think LLMs will allow for that.

tl;dr: a lot of woo in the tech community that the linux community isn’t as on board with

Steps to test: “Idk try some shit”
