@vjsinsights I think it's actually the best source for news if you can find the most trusted accounts to follow

An old friend of mine is a financial planner who was vibe coding an financial planner app for a few weeks and he had a basic app working.

He hit a roadblock and said if we could meet up to fix a bug he had...I said ok as long as you buy me coffee.

The bug he was trying to solve really had him stuck for a while and burned through $200 on his Cursor account on the first day of his renewal

I think this might be the new reason we all stay employed

@ykdojo In software development, I find myself negotiating almost every day.

How to build a feature, which approach to take and its tradeoffs and delivery times.

@davidadamojr Hahahaha

So true. I've been using it heavily in the past few months

But the non () requirement to invoke a method/function are just cruel to anyone reading your code 😅

[Hussien 🇨🇦 @hussien_coding]

On the other hand you could work with a company that can give you mentorship

This is of course ideal in my opinion and how you can learn the most

I was in both situations and I learned in the first month working with two senior developers more than 6 months being the only dev

[Hussien 🇨🇦 @hussien_coding]

A person I know who's learning to code got offered an opportunity to work with someone where they are the only developer

It's really a double edged sword situation

Here's why:

[Hussien 🇨🇦 @hussien_coding]

On one hand you're just starting out and the opportunities are limited

There's a big chance that you can learn a lot having to figure everything out for yourself

But then there's a pressure of delivering. It really is a sink or swim situation
