My car's wheel bearing is definitely fucked

According to the service folder, they got replaced all around at 100 000 km, which means it only took 80 000 km to break. Rather quick. Though it wasn't at a dealership, so it could just be some aftermarket crap

Since I figured I wanted to have a go at vibing a tool together myself, I did so. It works pretty well. I will not be sharing it since it's not mine. I feel no pride in making it, because I did not make it

So I vibe code for work. it's partly because they provide us with (practically) infinite tokens, and we have to deal with a massive legacy code base that, frankly, Claude is pretty darn solid with dealing at

The instant gratification is absolutely there. II understand people fall for the siren song, I really do. I am falling for it too. It's so nice to not have to spend hours upon hours backtracking through undecipherable code and configs. You set Caude upon the task, walk away to have a coffee, have a yap with your other colleagues, and come back to a nice and easy to read overview over what's (likely) going wrong, and a single button press to have it have a go at fixing the problem.

But then what's absolutely missing is the sense of accomplishment over having learned how that legacy system works, the feeling of doing your colleagues proud for solving an issue they couldn't, and going home just feeling good about yourself.

Instead of that you go "ah cool, let's continue", type
/new and move on, not having learned a thing

This isn't why I spent 11 years learning about computer science

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

) Respect the privacy of others.
) Think before you type.
) With great power comes great responsibility.

For security reasons, the password you type will not be visible.

it's funny how roadworks have started, but despite the construction noises things have gotten much quieter

don't even mind most cars all that much, but between all the attention deprived motor cycle and vw golf drivers with extremely loud exhausts, and people blasting music with their windows down, noise wise this is a net positive. insane

luckily they're
fucking widening the road

Man Balatro is good

Also fun that, since it's LÖVE, the exe just extracts to a folder of lua files. Going to have to play with that some day

@volpeon Honestly putting up an extra barrier to posting issues and PRs actually is a feature in the age of AI slop
