It’s mostly hype. Days in now and nobody can exploit the PHP vuln. Yawn.

This is my experience. As a data engineer with years in my current role I can get AI to write good SQL that correctly answers questions or defines metrics. At worst it may take a few back and forths to really nail it.

However, if a PM tries it they will more often than not get a wrong answer because they do not know what to look for or how to ask the right questions.

Prompts still matter a lot especially when you are working in an established enterprise.

It’s pretty clear despite what they want you to think Anthropic and OpenAI train on everyone’s data who has a subsidized plan. Only way you get ZDR is by paying API prices. Also note that it is zero retention, not zero training.

DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is good enough for me thanks.

Imagine trying to find a job in your home country but you can’t because masses are being brought over to undercut you and your fellow countrymen. Inhumane.

IMHO, more people need to grow a spine and never tip via a screen.

I never tip at my local Starbucks counter. They ask for it before any service has been rendered. That’s not how a tip is supposed to work. And who knows how the tips are getting to the workers.

I tip in cash after a service is rendered. If it’s on a screen there are renter seekers between you and the person who helped you.

Maybe he could convince some by picking up a cigarette habit.

Yes this is spot on. Apple & Google mobile platforms are locked down tight for this reason. Try installing okta verify on graphene OS. You cannot.

everything on Reddit is so locked down it’s useless. even if you do get to post something useful some basement dwelling mod will block it for an arcane interpretation of one of the subreddits 14 rules.

I have been doing full stack web dev since 2003 and iOS apps since 2008. I do not write code anymore. At my day job I don't think I get more done over time because the code is rarely ever the bottleneck at that place. I do have more time to experiment and try things and say yes more to asks from colleagues.

Outside of work, I have just launched an iOS app I've wanted to build but has been outside my current skillset. I was able to "vibecode" this app in about 4-5 months.

The application has a tiny bit of moat because it involves a ML model (also vibecoded) trained on my own data set.

When I say vibecoded, I never reviewed or read code in detail. I really only ever saw snippets claude code shows here and there. I asked a lot of questions, much more than asking it to make changes. I only gave it high-level architectural guidance like "use MVVC", etc. I did a lot of manual testing and reading logs.

I won't name the app out of fear of shilling my vibeslop, or whatever, check my profile for the domain in an email address if you want to know more.
