How’d you replace YouTube Music? Do you mean you listen to adds but on your own vibe coded app or do you bypass the ads somehow? Curious

- saadn92 17d agoyeah it's not the best replacement, but basically what I did is setup a "YTBox" app that takes a youtube link, downloads it as mp3 or mp4, and then auto syncs it to my icloud drive, and then I just listen from my iPhone either using the music app or VLC/Files. so yes I do have to make a curated list of what I want, but it saves me $17/mo. if you're okay with downloading, then it's worth it.
- bigstrat2003 17d agoYou don't need to vibe code to set up a piracy setup. LLMs aren't really adding any new capabilities there.
- saadn92 17d agoThey do help you move faster in my experience
- osiejfiejf 17d agoAh the wonders of the placebo effect.
- saadn92 16d agoplacebo effect? It took me 30 minutes to setup instead of a day, that's not a placebo effect, my friend
- ozlikethewizard 14d agoCould have installed libretorrent in about 12 seconds network dependent. Feels kinda like classic LLM obsession. You've used it to "save you time" in a problem that didnt need solving. Big part of engineering used to always be knowing what you didn't need to build something for as well
- saadn92 14d agoBig part of engineering is to know what tool to use in what situation and in this case, this tool fit perfectly for my needs. Your needs may be different, so that tool will work for you. There's no obsession here. All I've stated is that LLMs have saved me time and money and that's something I can actually measure. You're free to believe that or not, but it's my experience.
