What’s OpenTTD? How is this comment related to the article or the topic? Not being confrontational, just curious…

Edit: it’s an open source version of a transport tycoon game.

Oh I see! Thanks. I thought that they deliberately rejected your patch. But it was more about the red tape getting in the way. Yeah, that sounds frustrating.

Why didn’t your patch get merged?

What are you implying? That there will be a catastrophic galactic collision?

Because that’s not happening. Look it up.

Hehe sorry, don’t mind me.

I still have my reservations, but I’ve changed my mind about “vibe coding”.

Juniors vibe coding? Awful idea. It stunts learning. Non-programmers vibe coding? Aside from small scripts, anything exposed to the internet is a dangerous thing.

Experienced programmers who already know what they’re doing? Code assistants can be a bliss for tired fingers and wrists.

Is this answer generated? It doesn’t say anything OP didn’t address already.

Nice strawman. Nobody talks about the “European Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen” either, so what’s your point?

It’s a weird way to phrase it. I actually have dual citizenship. I say “I’m X and Y” not “I’m X or Y”.

By the way, you’re technically correct when saying "American or European " because you come from the Americas (the continent). But if you’re referring to the United States of America nationality, then you’d have to say the other country’s nationality as well.

But back to the main point, let’s say that you’re about to become French. You’d say "I’m American and French. Or “French-Americam” or “American-French”. “I’m French or American” sounds weird.

I’m European or Canadian.

Wut…

Thanks! Yeah, lack of ethernet ports is annoying. I bought a USB adapter to have one.

Nice! Thanks for your answer.

Whoa, what laptop did you end up getting? 64GB? Nice!

Thanks for the links.

Well, that’s disappointing.

Is programing.dev a lemmy instance, or a piefed one?

How are they assholes? What did I miss?

Thanks! It’s interesting to hear folks say that other machines are as powerful and less expensive. The irony is, they’re less expensive because they have everything soldered on and designed to be eventual e-waste more quickly.

Ransomware that can’t be decrypted is just destructive malware like any other.

How do you really like it?

I’m considering getting one.

I’m far from being an AI defender. And for the longest time I resisted the idea of vibe coding.

I will give you that, without the right experience, vibe coding feels like gambling.

But I learned rather quickly that you must first work on a dev plan with an LLM, and until that plan hasn’t covered every scenario, then you don’t move on.

That yields much better results, and it has the advantage of having the blueprints for when you need the LLM to make changes.
