Okay. So my dumbass boss took this project that had a steep timeline. I told him straight up, it won't work because we won't make the timeline. If we do this, I will be the one bending over backwards to deliver. I don't like to promise and fail. I got the oh don't worry let's just try. If we don't make it that's fine. Unfortunately that's not how I work. I refuse to deliberately fail. So I say okay and we begin. I suggested open source is the fastest way to deliver bit the fucked up part is, I am the only senior dev in the team. I will be expected to reverse engineer the open source app to connect our own deployment parameters. Use tech I have never used before. Connect frontend and backend. Handle dns bullshit. I have literally been working on Vibes and coffee for the past two weeks because ofcourse I ran into so many issues. Now I have an extension for Monday and I hate to fail. So I am not sleeping or resting just working on a fucking java app I didnt build and I am expected to make it work seemlessly on our production environment. I made some progress. Deployed frontend, deployed backend. Forgot to connect production dB so I decided to go with azure database for mysql driver since we have credits on azure. Now my java app is pissing itself over ssl handshake. I generate my keystore and add it and now java socket just times out. I want to pummel somebody or a punching bag that looks like my boss.14

Gpt 4.5 is out and it's only benefit is 'vibes'. Probably doubled down on being woke. Also, it's expensive as F. Pure to screw over stupid people who want to use newest without thinking. Btw, the people who present it in the openai video are terrible. They're just promoting the awkward unsocial stereotyped nerd. I don't believe those people really work on it. A true nerd always knows how to tell about their shit with detail and passion. That's what makes them a nerd, not being social awkward.
Fuck you OpenAI, in any way.6 -
@TrayKnots I feel you, I was once the biggest AI hater. I also like to do MOST myself too. And i do, AI works best if you do 80% yourself and let it add the dots on the I. It will apply your coding style and will do how you would've done it yourself. The art is to put as much effort in your prompt as in your code and you do, if you deliver a 80% finished source already. When you use this technique, you will have great results especially as an experienced programmer. A prompt is not three sentences. Also do not let GPT create prompts, that retarded if you think about, but you can use it to optimize your prompts to check if it catches your flow.
Seriously, AI is one of the best things ever, if used well, and not in a lazy way. Spend a lot of time on it and it will reward. Vibe coding using one lines or from scratch always ends up with many issues.
Tip: if you want to vibe with your application, first, ask it to transform into your code into production quality. Literally ask that. When you've done that, test it very well, and if it works well, in future vibes it will not do much additions unrelated to your query. If your providing a base class or something, tell it that it's not allowed to change the API since it is used a lot trough the project.
I spent a lot of time learning above things, I hope it'll help you,
AI is terrible for making quick money, and that's great about it! The lazy fucks get punished. Real development is about dedidication and the journey, not only the result.
Fact is, that AI is not easy at all. English is in way more ways to interpret than code is, making it harder to get a specific result. And a specific result is what we want, that's why we are programmers that are used to get literally what we asked, nothing more or less. AI changed programming in a way that it's not that strict anymore. And that's ok. But we all have to learn how to handle that. If you think about it, it doesn't have to be as strict, but boundairies are important. What i just described will set the right boundairies.
I'm A very happy AI user that did not became lazy at all but became more productive than ever! But mind you, i had a lot of time to figure out and making it work. The frustrations of working with AI were maybe higher than learning C. Everytime when you think to master it, you'll get disapointed to rock bottom. But consider this comparison, that's how fucked up it can be.
Edit: FUCK, have to wait 11 minutes before i can post.1 -
DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T LIKE LONG STORIES. ALSO DON’T EVEN BOTHER INTERACTING IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO BE NEGATIVE.🙂
How should I start… Because I am a socially awkward dumb a**, I have trouble talking to literally everyone, even my close friends. One of which in particular that (I think) I have liked for years, but I’m too dumb to know for sure so I confessed to them to figure it out, and, like I thought, they rejected me, but I didn’t really feel anything, so I was like, “Oh, guess I don’t like them then🤷,” and things were fine even afterwards (this was a while ago btw.) But even if I am socially awkward, I at least try to wave or say hi to my friends when I see them. In relation to this, recently I have made a habit of saying hi to that one close friend in particular, and I don’t know much about my feelings, which means I definitely won’t know much about other peoples’ feelings, but it looked to me like that friend felt a bit uncomfortable whenever I said hi. Now, hitting me like a wrecking ball (lol), I realized, I probably love them. (Which is a completely new concept for me.) Which made it hurt ALL THE MORE when I asked my friend about their apparent discomfort, and got the answer I was hoping I wouldn’t. This friend no longer felt like we would be a good fit. The friend said that they don’t feel our vibes match (something like that), which I guess makes them not want to talk to me as much either, but we could still check in with each other occasionally. I told them, and meant, that I COMPLETELY understand, because I mean, who would really want to be friends with and talk to someone that barely talks themselves and barely makes an effort to make new friends or talk to other people? A friend that never comes and hangs out at their house or that doesn’t even like going out? But it hurt nonetheless. It confuses and hurts me that this friend doesn’t really want to talk to me but also apparently cares enough to not completely cut ties with me. I’m not mad at them in the slightest, but what am I supposed to do? Completely forget my feelings for them and the, albeit meager, memories we’ve made together as friends, but also keep them close enough to be at least acquaintances? I don’t think I can or want to do that, but I guess it’s not my choice now. I have to try.34
