I think the really miserable part about AI for me as a professional programmer is that I know I could be super good at it. I’m a very average coder; I went into the field cause I knew it would be a stable career and make me money to afford the artistic hobbies I truly care about, but it doesn’t come super naturally to me. But what I am naturally good at is explaining shit. A third of what I do for my hobby project is like writing documentation and instructions for people on the project, I love it and I’m good at meticulously explaining things while also being understandable. And that’s exactly what you need to be good at “vibe coding” (well, plus a cursory knowledge of coding in general, which I have after 5 years). If this tech hadn’t come out in the most awful for society way possible, I would probably like using it a lot, but god I just can’t ignore all the horrible things that have been a result of it. It feels like a special kind of hell lol

I feel you entirely on the “Being An Explainer.” But the thing is, that’s not even great for AI coding, because “Being An Explainer” requires “Being An Understander” first, and the current development pace leaves no room for you to actually study and understand your own AI-generated code, let alone other people’s AI generated code, which they also don’t understand. There’s no understanding across the board. Just vibes.

I also feel like I wanna emphasize for people outside the profession:

Like, AI generated text has a bad smell. AI generated art looks weird and off putting. AI generated code is scary, tragically, good. And most of the faults with it tend to come from lack of overall architecture and vision, which comes from leadership pushing things a million miles an hour.

There’s no breathing room or forgiveness left in industry for doing things slow and by hand. And you end up with something enormous, lacking centralized vision, that no one entirely understands.

When you’re at the bus stop on time: bus schedules are more like guidelines than hard rules, really. You will sit in the 90 degree heat for an extra 15 minutes past the scheduled arrival time wondering if the bus has decided to just skip today and you will like it.

When you are running even a single minute late: the noble city bus has a schedule to keep and it will dally not a single second longer. Be better

Sorry if I’m just seeing things, but do you have little cup coasters printed with Patches’ pictures on them??? Asking because that’s sounds like a good idea and I want to make some of my own cats. Can you share the website you used?

You’re right!!

She’s on the coasters.

As for WHERE they came from, I’m not totally sure because they were a Christmas gift from my mom. But I can ask my mom in the morning how she got them.

Status update, my mom thinks it was via walmart.com
