Cranky Kernel

I'm your mother fucker.

@dreamsofcode_io It often covers more edge cases than I would ever cover in an initial implementation, but the code is rarely as idiomatic or as simple as I'd produce. But sometimes it amazes me with the quality, and sometimes the same model really lets me down. I think all this will get better.

@ardent__dev Typically, if you know how to code, I don't consider it vibe coding - unless you really are one-shotting things for experiments, etc.

[Cranky Kernel @CrankyKernel]

@coryalthoff No, but too many people I've talked to have.

@__itsmesiya @primeagen has a Discord that I think is a friendly environment for newer developers.

@LundukeJournal The users of that hardware have a voice. They can pick up the maintenance of it or hire someone to do it. And provide them access to that hardware.

@Jason Whats the seed $?

"Every human has extraordinary potential" -- @friedberg -- Well said.

@thdxr Were you there?

[Cranky Kernel @CrankyKernel]

@omarvvvr Yes, I'm a developer. Codex does no more than what I ask of it. Claude Code assumes everyone is a vibe coder and refactors at will. Developers use Codex, vibers use Claude.

@priya_Thakur786 At least the developers creating the infrastructure run Linux on their laptops/desktops. I'm not sure what those Mac users are writing.

@duborges No one who started coding in the last 5 years knows what the terminal is. They live in VScode or Cursor - whichever their employer provides them an AI plan for.

Now it’s official.

JetBrains remains the last big independent player in developer tooling.

Our job is to deliver the most cost-efficient, deeply integrated, and genuinely enjoyable AI experience across our IDEs and beyond.

We’re on it. Stay tuned.

Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.

Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.

@unclebobmartin Really? GPT 5.5 xhigh finds so many "edge" issues, yet still possibly security issues, that they create more work for me, as I wasn't spotting them before, nor the developers, who I thought should have been seeing these issues. My code review time has gone up at least 2x.

@melvynx When I'm ssh'd into a random host and want to use an agent with a free model and no authentication.

@adamhjk @ibuildthecloud As much as I hate this it’s the way. Just transitioned an app from a SolidJs frontend, Rust backend to full SolidStart. Rust is there for some batch processing but not involved in the user request path. Was hard to swallow, but iterating is faster now (with or without ai)

@CaptainInsightX I don’t believe it’ll be reasoning about larger systems in 2 years. Better targeted functions sure.

[Cranky Kernel @CrankyKernel]

@pcshipp Seriously, asking vibe coders? Ask a software engineer or developer.

[Cranky Kernel @CrankyKernel]

@neerajjj6785 They’re using AI to. Just busy building, not vibing.

[Cranky Kernel @CrankyKernel]

@chams_builds And building wasn’t the problem before AI.
