When I told John our newest colleague “I understand your frustration but you need to calm down because collaboration is key”

John:
Okay okay okay, I get it. Collaboration is key and all, but these meetings freaking killing me. We need a better balance, where we can have effective meetings that actually drive progress without sacrificing our precious coding mojo.

At the end of the day, I just wanna do what I’m f*ckin paid for. But these damn meetings are killing my vibe, and it's downright frustrating. Can't we just get back to the good ol' days of actually getting sh*t done!

Project manager wants that we write a full app by only vibe coding and he is enforcing this...

Gotta say, this is one of the most unsatisfying projects so far...

I've been vibe coding not knowing that it was called that until yesterday. I always give up before I reach anything interesting because I get about 4 or 5 good responses before it starts forgetting things and breaking already working code. And it's not even that complex of an idea.

There is no way people are coming up with whole applications with any level of complexity with these things.

Vibe coding should be punished of 7 years in jail and a 10000€ fine. Doing so while screen sharing should add 2 years and 5000€ on top.

Hearing DHH call vibe coding "empty calories" is

I realized that my mood swings based on how my gf behaves. She is one of the few triggers

If she is sad depressed angry or disrespectful towards me i am no longer in a positive mood, it kills the whole vibe. On the contrary if she is happy acts feminine behaves normally and is respectful towards me i also become happy and in a better mood

Bad mood does not stop me from doing my work, but depending on how terribly bad it becomes, it may or may not impact my coding and work life. Since the main and central tool for coding is my brain and mental state, not physical muscles, Once the central part of anyone's tool (thats used to get the job done) is attacked or threatened, it weakens the person's ability to perform as good as they have been, or worse, completely blocks them off from performing well

This is one of my biggest fears; Anyone who's capable, intentionally or not, of weakening the central part of my tool for work (in this case mind and mental state), begins to gain power and leverage over me (hold on this is actually a brilliant idea to have in mind, a malicious way to exploit and leverage the target victim is by attacking the central tool they use to get the work done)

However i am a mentally strong person (due to way too much trauma from school, solving extreme difficulty coding problems, hoes and financial struggles), but it does not help if i am attached to a person who i have feelings towards, a person who became the second half of me, "the better half". It is difficult to reject or all of a sudden stop loving the person who you loved for years or months. Such person can more easily attack my central tool

My question is--does anyone know how to protect the central tool from anyone being able to exploit or weaken it? For example if my gfs bad behavior puts me in a bad mood, how to prevent that from happening? How do i not care? Or how do i care but still not let it affect my mood in a negative light? If that makes sense

Web flow vs vibe coding, what's worse?

I know vibe coding is a thing now, but I do hear a lot of people talking about how the AI can get off track and make some pretty bad mistakes. I think (for me at least) the takeaway from that is use it, but don't ask it to do anything that you couldn't do yourself.

Vibe coding: imagine that you're "vibe cooking". You toss some spices in a "smart pan" and its supposed to add staples like flour and rice and water automatically, then cook the results.
Things get so easy when you're not the one supposed to eat the grub/sludge/muck that comes out.

Vibe Coding is the start of the end of days

What do you think?

In any job interview I've ever had, I've always known if I'd get the job 1 minute in. Anyone else get that "feeling"?

Like, the interviewer will introduce themselves and right then and there, I'll know if it's dead in the water or if I'll get the position.

And my predictions are always true. Like, if the vibe is off, then so long job position.

Funny enough, when the vibe matches, they don't ask for dumb technical questions unrelated to the actual positions. It's either take home or pair programming, or heck, even technical discussions that relate to the position.

Almost as if, I can sense if someone is bullshitting.

One time I had some dude interview me for an Android position and had me take a coding challenge to pull a CSV file from a server in JAVA, not even Kotlin, and display it in a table, without a single library. Had to use HTTPUrlConnection. Suffice to say, I didn't oblige. Asked him if he was familiar with Android dev, he said no. I then left the call.

GTFO with that bullshit.
