I'm probably not explaining this well, but I feel like writing code from scratch has the effect of making us slow down and think more deeply and more globally about what we're writing. Reading vibe code "localizes" our attention to the correctness of the code produced and clogging the processes that otherwise think about connection of this code to other parts of the system.
I know it wasn't the intention of the author in the slightest, but I feel so small and incapable after reading that piece. Good luck bess.
... and water is wet.
The exponent was reduced from 0.60 to 0.52. The bar for getting excited has dropped so much ...
Like everything in the last 20 years (silicon photonics, graphene, spintronics,...) "it promises to one day revolutionize computing" (a day that never comes !)
No, animals arent conscious. Kill them indiscriminately and brutally. Happy Bakrid everyone !
Every LLM answr ever... "You asked a question about sorting linked lists, but it is important to be respectful and not promote harmful stereotypes and always keep in mind that black people were systematically discriminated against in technical fields"
Anyone else feels as if acidic bile is rising up their throats at the mention of the word "startup"? I think it is my mind's simulated response to toxic culture, colossally bad deals for most startup employees, and the vile VCs.
Single moms with sociology degrees unable to wrap their heads around power law.
At this point, you have to be colossally stupid to work for a startup. Assume options are worth $0, demand market salaries, and close-to-market benefits.
Modi's fault !
Rubbish, He belongs to a protected group, he cant be toxic.
They dont want to interrupt the good OpenAI is doing in the world, dont ya know
Also in a startup, you'll gain the transferrable skill of sucking VC dick while doing a one-handed hand-stand.
TIL: people write lewd letters to their partners on Google docs.
I don't get why my comment is "flagged". I guess I should just axiomatically accept that they're nice people. ok well..
Flagged? I don't get what was offensive about my question. I'll need to learn HN logic I guess.
Dont say that out loud though...
Far better
Competitive sports isn't for everybody, regardless of your ability to work hard. If you aren't built for it, you're going to be a failure or a mediocre success. Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone either.
Silicon Valley normalized the idea that if you follow the scientific process (The Lean Method, finding Product/Market Fit or whatever this garbage is known in the latest terminology), and burn out for 10 years of your life, then you WILL achieve success. Most people are blind to survivorship bias even if they know the phenomenon. On top of it, incompetent, scumbag VCs muddy the waters with their snake oil "wisdom" which bright eyed, impressionable tech bros gulp down with passion.
If you achieve a "mediocre" success, which allows you financial independence, then you HAVE achieved success, regardless of what the VCs are pontificating. They'd scream because their investment didn't 1000x. Fuck them and continue living your life. Don't burn out for these soul-less MBAs.
And say you achieve the outsized "success". What then? If you go with the history of silicon valley then your so-called success is going to be a shit deal for workers, consumers and the environment.
Ok and the islamic world is bastion of female empowerment. Understood.
Cmon Assistant Professors ! Start grinding on those proposals ! They aint gon write themselves !
Professors are the worst scum. These are the same people who'd become expert witnesses for the tobacco industry in the 60's, advocating risky financial instruments in 2000s, requiring DEI statements in 2010s, and generally fighting like dogs over morsels of defense funding.
And what has it got to show for in return? A hyper PC chatbot who's 50% response is "It is important to note racial injustices..." in response to every damn question.
California is trying to drive out everyone other than the homeless (err unhoused individuals) and criminals (err person who commits violent crime)
Even if you 'quit' corporate, it will be the VCs (if startup) or clients (if consulting). People who care about the craft will suffocate in envs which care about what the craft can do.
One way may be to mentally separate the two kinds of programming. At work, code for the org. After work, code for craft.
At 16. I'd just learnt the Newton-Raphson method and wrote a cubic equation solver. It only gave one real root closest to the initial guess.
I've seen quite a few women coders like that and your description is consistent with my experience. Also you wont find them in WWC type avenues. Those avenues almost attract the types who like the idea of coding than the deed itself.
I never quite got the point of WWC. In my observation, most women who're encouraging girls to get into coding are themselves into softer roles like product or project management, despite having the environment and ability to code.
He didnt have formal training in math. So where did his subconscious "learn" the advanced stuff in his visions?
