I've always had a passion for carnivorous plants and it was inevitable that I would end up doing tissue culture by keeping on digging deeper in the obsession. The biggest ROI is fulfilling my childhood dream of having a ton of my favou

I love it. I do plant tissue culture as hobby and really see plants as the living systems that they are.

Exactly my experience too, to the point that I kinda ended up only using DDG for its bang features and never really do real searches with it... It's especially bad if I want local results for my country in my language.

I feel like the only reason I use Obsidian is because of the "real time" markdown editor. If I could have this in Zed (not split view between source and render) I would probably not used Obsidian anymore.

I've been using obsidian for about 3 years now and the only thing I've used are daily notes. I'm unsure where I should go from that.

Definitely this, my hobby is already filled with a ton of sloppy vibe coded apps that all do the same thing very badly with awful UI/UX. They all ask for a monthly subscription and, surprise, nobody uses them. Meanwhile the hand crafte

I roll my eyes every time I see a coworker post a very a long message full of emojis, obviously generated by a LLM with 0 post editing. Even worse when it's for social communication such as welcoming a new member in the team. It just f

Yes the same outraged users were totally fine with giving Discord all their personal conversations.

I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today. I think you're right. They have so much at stake, infinite money and the perfect technology to do it.

But I see these kinds of post every day on HN with hundreds of upvotes. And it's a thousand times worse on Reddit.

Exactly, I'm not going to waste my time reading this AI generating post that's basically promoting itself. What I really wonder, is who the heck is upvoting this slop on hackernews?

definitely not at a native level...

As a francophone, I can tell you that the vast majority doesn't.

Well not really, vibe coding is literally brute forcing things until it works, not caring about the details of it.

by phito 8mo ago
Gives you a good window into a vibe coder's mentality. They do not care about anything except what they want to get done. If something is in the way, they will just try to brute force it until it works, not giving a duck if they are be

Well yeah, it is just better. At my work we have a copilot license, but we use it to access Claude Sonnet/Opus model in OpenCode.

Thought policing, lol. People are just sharing their perspectives, no need to take it personally. Glad it's working well for you.

It's because we see a bunch of people completely ignoring the missing 20% and flooding the world with complete slop. The push back is required to keep us sane, we need people reminding others that it's not at 100% yet even if it s

What kind of software are you writing? Are you just a "code monkey" implementing perfectly described Jira tickets (no offense meant)? I cannot imagine feeling this way with what I'm working on, writing code is just a small pa

That's assuming FAANG engineers are actually great.

Maybe.

I really don't mind PR reviews, as long as the author is cooperative. I do not like arguing over obvious things with someone who isn't participating in good faith. Thankfully I have a good team in which it doesn't happen.

Nice. I've been using Niagara for years and years, it's looks similar in terms of UX, but this one maybe runs better on older devices.

You can still understand a system deeply and find elegant solutions, and use LLMs to translate your idea into code, then review the code. It's still much faster than writing everything by hand in a lot of cases, if done properly.

And this is the determining factor to whether a current dev will be replaced by AI or will evolve alongside with it, being the bridge between humans and AI. Which is not really different to what we're already doing, translating human r

Indeed. I found that recently, Claude has been using hyphens instead of emdashes.

Sounds like some PM just wanted to shove AI marketing where it doesn't make sense.

I can't agree more with you. I know multiple people that keep complaining about windows and Chrome and yet they seem to have no interest in even trying Firefox or Linux. It totally has abusive relationship vibes. It's like they ar
