    Fair point. I still think you could build single person cars that are more secure than traditional cars and use less space and energy

    I’m thinking that since 2015. Like BMW C1 just with doors on the side and a bit more security. This would approx allow 3-4x as many travellers on a given route compared to traditio…

    I think for small projects you need to scale the coders mental model, which afaik works in the fastest time, when you let ai do the exploration and planning, but coder needs to wri…

    I don’t want to be a hater, but somehow i still keep throwing vacuum roboters away and prefer the manual machine. It somehow always ends up worrying me more than helping. Crashing,…

    I think the author means ecomonically valuable not valuable to you.

    I’m seeing a lot of people that having that train of thought. I think that is a fallacy. I can understand that some LLM execution can be faster, but definitely not all. Agents need…

    I’m using NEO layout with all the coding keys on layer 3. I’m using both pinkys to jump into layer 3. I can therefore code a lot on home row. I use intellij with two two stroke key…

    It’s exactly the opposite. On small projects I can use heavily because maintanability doesn’t matter on big projects you’ll end up in a deadlock. That’s why we have so many dead pr…

    I don’t know but to me it seems a bunch of people should learn proper typing. There is no way in world that AI is faster in solving/writing problems than you are when you can maneu…

    Can you add Zig?

    I generally like refactoring too, like cleaning up at home, but if you open up a codebase that has been vibecoded and it seems like it’s a never-ending chain of bad practices leadi…

    Crazy how many engineers in here just say they are using another prompt on top. From my experience that makes things worse. It does abstractions, but the wrong ones. It overcomment…

    Interesting so it’s supply chain and then you need to calculate how long it can be utilized and for how much you can sell it. Would love more calculations on that

    To me it’s even simpler than that. You use so for exploration and review. Not for writing code.

    The issue is that whilst the loops will initially lead to good results they will be less and less as context gets bigger and bigger and tougher to understand for human and AI. So i…

    Whilst I understand cases in which duplication is preffered. I generally think abstractions are underused. Sometimes I would abstract something away that is only done once, not bec…

    Seems like I’m the idiot here. I had frugal stored as more than just economical. Thanks for your comments :/

    Also the explanations are too broad. F.e. Frugal - Economical with money or goods I don’t think frugal means economical it means rather over the top … Yeah I don’t know how to defi…
