I'm almost 35 and I've never done leetcode (not counting just for fun). I've also never made anyone do leetcode as a part of a job interview.
You people are crazy

[François Chollet @fchollet]

The true measure of a software engineer isn't their ability to write clever code. It's their ability to ruthlessly protect the codebase from unnecessary cleverness.

[Valentin Ignatev @valigo]

Vibecoding is when you let LLMs generate code and you accept it as long as the end result appears to be working. You don't even review the code, you don't care.

When you rigorously ensure that generated code is up to a standard, it's not vibecoding anymore. It's programming.

@GergelyOrosz Came to the exact same realization recently.

[John Crickett @johncrickett]

Every line of code is a liability.

Some lines are also an asset.

AI tools make it cheap to generate code. They don't make it cheap to understand, maintain, or support it.

The goal was never to produce more code. It was to solve problems with as little code as possible.

@Pirat_Nation Will file search finally work in Explorer?

There’s an old Chinese saying that I love:

“The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”

@RotoristWS @ComradePinko Nothing you can do about haters. Ignore them.

@OldManHop @RazorwireRPG please stop recommending this bug-filled and outdated mod when EtTu exists.

[phobos2077 @phobos2077]

@RazorwireRPG Best way yo experience Fallout today: Et Tu for 1, RPU+Talking Heads+EcCo for 2.

[phobos2077 @phobos2077]

@RightYossarian @RazorwireRPG EtTu for Fallout 1. RPU+EcCo for Fallout 2. Or UPU if you want vanilla.

@rezoundous We spent 30 years saying 'clean code or die'
Then built a machine that can write 'die fast and leave a mess' at 400 lines per second
Progress!

Paid mods are worse than free mods. Luke Ross was charging $ for an app that gave you bigger screen in VR for copyrighted IPs.
was cool for about 15 minutes.
There’s been tons of talented mod creators that have made full 6DOf VR mods.. for FREE. No I don’t feel bad for Luke #vr

[Dissenter in OR @ORDissenter]

@Pirat_Nation Here's the thing-

His mods might be good, amazing even (don't know, never tried them), but I consider this a W anyway.

This needs to happen across the entire paid mod ecosystem. Make it a hobby again, not a parasitic side-'hustle'.

Paid mods are cancer.

Delete your dormant ChatGPT account.

Millions of us have dormant ChatGPT accounts. We logged in through Chrome for a week, a year ago, made some silly pictures, then got frustrated, then bored with it, and never came back.

We thought we didn't really set up an account, so it was no big deal walking away.

Wrong. We still have these ChatGPT accounts and Open AI uses all these dormant accounts to inflate their number-of-users when they go campaigning for further investments.

Do our future a favour and make sure you have deleted your dormant ChatGPT account and/or OpenAI account. In the longterm the species may thank you.

The Quest platform will die. But before it dies people need to know whom to blame. It’s time to put the execs on blast:

Let’s start with @boztank a man who entered the VR space like a retarded elephant falling into a boutique coffee shop. Falling over and over onto various cups and plates shouting “the data says” as he clumsily breaks everything while Zuck pats him on the head for being his only friend.

Let’s thank @c_pruett whom treated 3rd party devs like an SS agent for doing anything that Meta *might* do in 10 years. Chris while being the head of content, secretly ran his own game studio promoting his games. A man who has a profile picture of a someone drowning because interacting with him is the feeling of dread before you off yourself.

Let’s thank AJ Glasser for acting like the witch in Snow White for creating a VR dev blacklist for anyone who questioned Meta’s decisions. Treating the dev store as her own personal toxic clique.

Let’s thank Alex Schultz for his smooth brain renaming of Oculus to various forms of corporate slop like “Meta Horizon Worlds Quest”.

Last but not least let’s thank the highly unethical “journalists” like @Heaney555 who would act as a propaganda mouthpiece of Boz and Meta. Regurgitating Meta talking points like dictator state media. Attacking any developers whom spoke ill of his God.

Thanks guys, I hope those whom pick up the pieces of VR aren’t as lame as you were.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

As you start today with all the motivation in the world, remember this: it won’t last.

Build a routine. Do it no matter what. When you really can’t, don’t quit or beat yourself up, just do it the next day. Show up, over and over.

It is the only thing that works.

[Swamp Man @SwampMan_014]

@RazorwireRPG Bethesda missed the ENTIRE POINT of Fallout being a "post-post-apocalypse" setting.
