I made an ASCII pixel art editor for the terminal Try it yourself :: github.com/Mr-Robot-err-4…

May this serve in the hall of fame for dumbest takes

@file_mutex @zeeg This is the dumbest take I've seen so far, congrats! "But why are you reading the code" he says... I'm actually dumbfounded

@zeeg sure but why are you reading the code? Don't you have another model to read it for you?

codex writes the most digusting code idk who's responsible for pre-training over there but you gotta flip the script

@karomancer @loftwah I wager that the amount of people that don't know these basic core concepts are the very same who are helplessly dependent on AI. I don't know any great engineers who don't understand core concepts

@loftwah Lol apologies for my part in the noisiness! I just spoke from experience from dealing with several people who don't know the core concepts and lazily throw things to AI then proceed to fuck shit up that I have to fix for them. I guess I got personally triggered lol

I had to mute that git rebase post haha. The responses I saw there straight out concern me. If I were half the people I wouldn’t worry about the difference between merge and rebase. I would be worried about attention to detail and basic reading comprehension.

@loftwah You care about attention to detail and yet don't care about the difference between rebase and merge? Your take concerns me

@falconerd Great AI writing, buddy

A simple observation about game programming: It pays to embrace memory lifetimes early on. You'll be much better prepared than if you're always protected from them. Thinking in systems and data pipelines requires breaking your OOP habits. But when you map your dependencies and consider memory lifetimes properly? You eliminate entire classes of bugs. Your frame times stabilise. You state becomes deterministic. You get performance for free. Learn how to unlock those benefits, starting here: bytesbeneath.com/p/manual-memor…

@crvvdev Claude code is a terrible harness. I built a proxy that allows you to use better harnesses (opencode) and spoofed Claude code requests. The system prompt they send is huge, and makes the models paranoid. Running the same models through opencode works fine

@doctor__schultz Please tell us the solution 🙏🏻

How did Claude gone from: "Ok I will reverse engineer this 20 year old proprietary encrypted protocol for you" to "Sorry I cannot process your request because it violates the..." We enriched your models capabilities for free and now you gatekeep the most important features...

@georgevibing Republic Commando

Name one game from 20+ years ago that's still better than modern games. I'll wait.

@stupidtechtakes I've never made this typo

alias "cd.."="cd .." thank me later

The AI psychosis is at an all time high. Being helplessly dependent on your LLM is not a flex

@0xglitchbyte Imagine complaining that a company tested you for real skills that the job involves...

Companies hire assets to solve problems. A potential hire who cant explain basic concepts and tools of the trade is a liability. Vibe coding “apps” is a red flag. “Just have claude do it” is also a red flag. Pretty easy to see why fictional person did not get the fictional job.

@denbvk @nicbarkeragain Hard disagree. John Blow talks about going into a 20 min trance when programming, all based on intuition. Try converting each step into English, it's impossible

@nicbarkeragain It’s quite a junior mentality. When you grow to Staff+, you learn how to express abstract ideas in English. Without this, you would not be able to work in large orgs.

The entire idea of AI code generation is based on the assumption that a "prompt" can express your technical intention. But as soon as you start to get good at programming you stop thinking about it in english and instead switch to some abstract mental representation.

@nicbarkeragain English is exhausting as a means of explaining anything technical. It's almost as if programming is the best abstraction

@ocornut @rfleury Trad coding has always been superior

Through a reluctance to learn and get hands dirty, less experienced engineers tend to not appreciate how fantastically versatile & expressive actual programming is, trying to replace it with higher-level concepts that are less versatile & less expressive.

The SURPRISE is: x.com/SinkingStarGam… Order of the Sinking Star will have a free demo on Steam, for NextFest, Monday. Because the game is HUGE, the demo is huge: it's bigger than most entire paid puzzle games, and you get to try it out for free.

@zuess05 stop generating your damn posts with AI, dingus

Vibe coding with AI is fun... Until a critical bug hits production at 3 AM and you realize you have zero idea how your own codebase actually works. How are you guys maintaining this AI-generated spaghetti long term?

@thoughtlesslabs I'll be trad coding peacefully (and blazingly fast)

honestly i hate ai now. i'm over it. you guys go do cool stuff with it and i'll use the cool things you build with it.

@antirez yap yap yap

So I was totally sold on GPT 5.5. Solely on the basis of what I saw tonight with Fable, I will start to use again Claude extensively, probably as the main model as long as Fable is accessible. It's not just very capable, it performs organized steps and have deep understanding.

@AndrLuc52662696 @AintNoDoctor @tekbog wise man. Though I can't justify why that behaviour is wrong, we are still forced to choose a hill to die defending. When building a family or a community, we have to stand on values to progress, and those that undermine it are resisted. Thanks for the conversation!

@doctor__schultz @AintNoDoctor @tekbog I'm on that side too for my own sanity Tho, i can't help but question it everytime

he did all that and decided to kill himself a lesson there

@AndrLuc52662696 @AintNoDoctor @tekbog yeah I think we found some common ground there, and a universal meaning of life is difficult to discuss, though I ere on the side of assuming it exists. However, I think it's better to assert values. I would rather push back against debauchery than assume it's equally valid

@doctor__schultz @AintNoDoctor @tekbog For sure we can, and i also think we should Yet, this is a fabricated meaning fr us as individuals/species, as far as i knw i can't prove there's an universal meaning of life I can't read gods mind, so can i feel any superior to somenone tht chooses pleasure for the sake of it?
