#202Why a spare machine has to be exactly a mac ? For iMessage?
New macs share memory between the cpu and the GPU so the GPU gets a lot of ram for a low cost (relative to everything else available right now.)
Completely irrelevant for Claude Code? You can use literally the weakest PC you have and run Linux and use that for Claude Code.

Yeah good luck being employed in 3 years once this bubble popped when all you do is type some natural language into a phone screen. People being proud of not using an IDE anymore is such a foreign concept to me, who enjoys coding and got into the profession because of the love of that.
If you got into the industry due to enjoying the typing of code the future is looking pretty bleak.

> You see, there's your problem right there. You're vibe coding, which by definition literally means you're unwilling to look at the generated code. That's not what successful ai assisted software developers are doing. YOU HAVE TO READ THE CODE. I guess you vibe-read what I wrote. Let me write it again for you: "I always have to correct its hallucinations during the day. Why would I ever let it run unsupervised overn…
No, I read what you wrote, and you wrote "vibecoded", and the definition of vibe coding is not reading what you generated, then always hitting "Accept All". And it has a space in it. I'll quote the definition below, so you don't have to look it up yourself, and we can both be on the same page. It's right there on the label. If you didn't mean "vibe coded" then don't vibe write "vibecoded", and instead read what you w…
Many many words, no meaning.
Because you keep vibe-reading what I write.
Here's what I literally started with: "I always have to correct its hallucinations during the day. Why would I ever let it run unsupervised overnight?"
Which means what? Oh. It says literally what it says.
Here's how I continued: "Which tests and optimizations do you propose to run after a night of supervised work when one of main things that all agents keep doing is 'load all records from db , and filter them in memory'?"
What does this mean? Oh, it means the literal meaning of the sentence. It also probably strongly implies that I actually look at the code produced by these things, as otherwise I wouldn't know things like "oh, the agent loads the whole db into memory and filters it into memory, we have to correct that".
You literally completely ignored all that and got irritated by just this sentence: "It's now become so bad, I had to literally vibecode a separate linter for this".
Because, see, I had to write a tool with the use of AI and run it against existing code, and correct it until it worked to my satisfaction so that I don't have to spend a lot of my time correcting a repeating error, so I automated the finding and the correction of a repearting error using a linter. And instead of writing that entire sentence I used the word "vibe-coded".
So no you've wasted a lot of breath arguing... what exactly is it that you arguing? Your inability to read what other people write? Functional illiteracy?
Edit. Since you're so keen on chasing me in other comments it's unsuprising that you again completely ignored the one comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48965638 where I link this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48962703 But sure. How dare I use the word "vibe-coding" incorrectly when it was coined by the Lord Our God Karpathy Himself.

I think the main use case for AI bros is to setup a goofy looking dashboard, name it Jarvis to cosplay being Tony stark, and display stats for all the generated videos they're posting to social media. (I wish I was joking)
And make a video about how to make a dashboard (that you call Jarvis).
Also, offer a paid course

i like using /remote-control to keep vibe dev running smoothly against my usage limits and deadlines
Running Claude code 24/7 on a code base on that “second Mac” so you can always continue after a usage limit reset, from your main device or from your phone?
yep pretty much!

I started my post with "it seems to me" precisely because I haven't decided that I know best.
> The only ostensible benefit is in the eyes of the AI-psychotic tinkerer, who knows no better, or in those of the clout-chasing developer farming likes on their LinkedIn posts. Truly open minded
I'm open minded, I just haven't seen evidence to the contrary. Speaking as someone who's spent an ungodly amount of time in claude code

Your no understanding != my no meaning. You obviously don't understand the definition of vibe coding I posted right above. You can lead a horse to water... But hey, you're the one who proudly claims to be a vibe coder, I didn't call you that. I just showed you the definition of what it means, what you are calling yourself. And you wonder why your vibe code doesn't work.

So someone has to be in the office to press the "observe logs" button every 5 minutes?
Alerting on level=ERROR doesn't require agentic monster systems burning tokens constantly.
No, but the agentic monster system can have the relevant code checked out, manuals and runbooks analyzed, the error investigated and a fix proposed by the time the on-call engineer gets up from bed, grabs a Red Bull from the fridge and logs in to their work computer.
Then they have a starting off point to see if the agent was correct or not. If not, they lost maybe 2 minutes of reading. If yes, they can go "yea, push the fix and monitor", put down the Red Bull and go back to bed.
