Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•A PHP Dev Just Solved a 20+ Year-Old KDE Plasma Problem No One Else WouldEnglish
5·21 days agosince coding a whole game in assembly indicates deep understanding of what you’re doing, whereas the problem with vibe coding is that it requires only the shallowest understanding.
Yes, that was indeed my point. That and being, who else really can understand the assembly coded game, compared to who can understand the AI written vibe coded app. The Dev who wrote it in assembly certainly understands it and a lot. The person who vibe coded an app…probably doesn’t understand most of it.

321·22 days agoYes, it does. Sure it works, but at what cost to security and actual human understanding?? RollerCoaster Tycoon works and I’m not saying its insecure or vibe coded, but it’s written in friggen assembly!
The problem isn’t the vibecoding inherently, it’s the people that are doing it. Vibecoding just enables them to exist.
They have no concept of what it means to produce general software for actual users using different setups. They generally have little patience and will abandon their projects very quickly. They are completely reliant on the models to fix any problems (or add features), so anything that, for whatever reason, a model can’t fix will remain broken.
Look at this vibe coded app and thread on reddit for just one example https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rckopd/huntarr_your_passwords_and_your_entire_arr_stacks/
Was that vibe coded tool used correctly? Done, does not mean good, or safe, or even usable.

Then it needs to stop being interjected and trying to take over the Human aspect of tech, art, creativity, etc.

1·1 month agoA step above, pro-sumer grade. Takes some knowledge to get right, has some advanced fiddly bits if needed, but not as complex or powerful as a mikrotik or enterprise gear. Not as sad as a Netgear or Belkin consumer grade crap.

World News@lemmy.ml•Johnson: US Must Wage War With Iran Because of Its “Misguided Religion”English
19·2 months agoI cannot believe that was actually said by a United States representative, where it is and has been codified in the nations constitution, that freedom of religion is a right of the people via the first amendment. Freedom of religion means any religion, but also, freedom from religion.
to wit: The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed.
