    Old reddit still works, images and videos are usually forced to go to new reddit. You can sometimes get around it by clicking on the comments link. I started getting a blocking ove…

    Exactly the point I was going to make. Shipping something requires knowing how to ship it, monitor it, and fix it. Writing code is the "easy" part and kind of always has been. No o…

    Counterpoint: Why should my println debugging get committed? They're not "important" for the final product but important for development.

    Agreed, but people sell "vibe coding" without acknowledging you need more than vibes. LLMs can help answer the questions. However, they're not going to necessarily make the correct…

    Of course that's what the industry is selling because they want to make money. Yes, it's easy to create a proof of concept but once you get out of greenfield into 50-100k tokens ne…
