like Haskell or Lisp?

Here's a couple of good starting points for the line:

if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you're not rich.

if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you're rich.

Ah ok you're comment was descriptive... while mine was idealistic.

that is not true. Speed and turnaround NEVER wins over skill and quality. You need skill to produce stuff fast that is also of value.

I guess I realise now that the value of something is not what people believe it to be. It is the length of suffering and effort the creator went through.

they don't solve them. They make it harder for you to make mistakes. Doesn't stop a capable developer from still introducing vulnerabilities.

that html page without js and just links is MORE secure than anything with JS.

use

display: flex flex-direction: column align-items: center

on the parent container

Stackoverflow is for senior devs to clown on junior devs. It's the inverse of helping juniors.

well yes... that's what one expects when they go DIY.

THAT is the message you took from all this? What you're going to root for the smug ignorant asshole?

I often compare vibe coding to lord of the rings. Saruman blocks the fellowship's path with difficult challenges. So too does solving hard problems in programming. So Gandalf decides they will take the mines of moria (vibe coding). He knows better but does so anyway. The rest of the fellowship naively follows him down (junior devs). Most of the path is just minor hiccups and the juniors fumbling around. But they get to a certain point and things start to get too heated. The hordes of goblins being the bugs introduced by the LLM as they keep changing the code via different prompts. Then they inevitably awaken the Balrog.. the monstrous Complexity Demon that was brewing behind the vibe coding sunshine and roses.

We used to be able to do multiplayer only without the need for official servers.

it's a bit of a straw man from your side to act like the discussion is about multiplayer when we are discussing about single player campaign based RPGs or about multiplayer when the company deliberately shuts it down in favour of a new version that just milks players for more money; or about toasters that definitely don't need internet connection to function.

that's the company's problem. They made it too complicated.

they're a business and it's ok to only care about money. But it's a big nono for us to do so?

the results do keep improving of course. But it's not some silver bullet. Yes, your enthusiasm is warranted.. but you peddle it like the 2nd coming of christ which I don't like encouraging.

that's reality. Unless you're too deluded to think it's magic.

I kid you not, I took ML back in 2014 as a extra semester in my undergrad. The complaints then were the same as complaints now: too much power requirement, too many false positives. The latter of the two has evolved into hallucinations.

If normal people going "I made this!" is not convincing enough that it is easily identified then who is this going to replace? you still need the right expert right? all it creates is more work for experts to come and fix broken AI output.

"more breakthroughs" spoken like we get these once everyday like milk delivery.

also: Actively censorinv the mention of lemmy.. at least on reddit as far as I am aware. Maybe even threads.
