@loftwah I went from chemical engineering to software engineering. Pretty happy with the switch.

@joshcirre The built in testing tools. Integration tests that hit the database are as easy as unit tests. Tools for mocking are there when needed.

@karomancer I'm going to keep an eye out for these "casual intensifiers." What a great term.

Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here

I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream.

I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter."

How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it.

Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it.

I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder.

I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it.

You all are fired,

@taylorotwell @linear Heyyy we use both of these things! Glad to see the kids playing nicely together.

[Dan Hampton @DanCanCode]

@karomancer Alright but I've entered my 40s. That's just a taller vantage point.. right?!

[Dan Hampton @DanCanCode]

@Madisonkanna Oh no! Ya got me. 😆

@karomancer You bought the Duolingo Dungeon DLC didn't you?

[Dan Hampton @DanCanCode]

@karomancer "Okay I know I've already done this 7 times but just maybe..."

It is a cool view though
