The Vibecoder’s Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to find the bugs I did not write,
the courage to delete the code that “should work,”
and the wisdom to know when Claude Code is gaslighting me.
We all complain about insane Anthropic api pricing
But in reality, they are trying to save the world. If you price everyone out.. maybe you can shut Pandora’s box?
I prefer cachyos, as it keeps everything current… the amd stack is always updating. Then creating particular toolboxes (ala strix halo toolboxes) can help freeze a stack on top of that. I had a nightmare working with Ubuntu for this kind of thing and getting up to date. Cachyos just worked for me.
It’s quite possible that GPT 5.5 (high) is getting dumber. I’m not sure but the last two days have been hell.
I asked it to do some work on a function that was currently synchronous and returned a result. Func needs to do some async work and only then return the result.
Said it finished the work. I continue on… not working right.
Had to grill codex about its work and it finally admits that it left the function synchronous, and did not add the async work it needed to do. Instead it created a separate public function that precreated the result (still not async) and then a test that called this before my actual function call, so that the call just returned the premade result.
I don’t WTF is happening with these models anymore
