What's the difference between no-code tools and vibe coding? No-code tools are great when the platform fits. Vibe coding is for when it doesn't. You describe what you need in plain language → AI generates real code → you get a custom tool for your exact problem. The skill isn't coding. It's knowing your work.

drwxrwxrwx isn't gibberish...

@Ideiasradicais @kamrynheidi What do you mean by White king gets blasted? It'll be exposed for sure. But it has sufficient defenders to avoid mate. Also white has a pawn storm coming up. Black has an advantage but isn't very decisive for a human considering he has a pawn storm to defend himself.

@rolex_devv @kamrynheidi Nb4 Qa4 Nd3+, bishop can't take because it would hang the Queen, so Kb1, Bxb5 Qxb5 Nxf2 If Nb4 Qb3, Bxc5 cxd4 Rfc8+ Kb1 a5 and whites king gets blasted If Nb4 cxb4, then any Rc8 is a pin and even if Bc4, then b5 and again the white king gets blasted

Update: turns out NMs are pretty good at chess. I got a little too ambitious pushing pawns. Black to move and win. I ended on 4/6 with 3W 2D 1L. Still lots of work to do. Excited to analyze all my games. I love chess. GG!

Important Differentiation Formula!

Your webhooks aren't as safe as you think. Here's how production systems make sure no event is ever lost — exponential backoff, jitter, and dead letter queues explained.

@MeerMaurits @kamrynheidi -1.79 Stockfish 16 Depth 30. Not very decisive for most humans. Plus white has a scary pawn storm coming up.

@rolex_devv @kamrynheidi No, apparently starting Nb4 cxb4 Rac8 is best and winning (-3 according to Stockfish)

@MeerMaurits @kamrynheidi How about cxb4 Rac8 Bc4 b5 Kb1 bxc4 Still not winning for black.

@kamrynheidi 1…Nb4 looks very annoying to deal with. The bishop and queen are both hit, cxb4 is met by Rac8 with a pin, and Qa4 is met by Nd3+ Kb1 Bxb5 Qxb5 Nxf2, forking. What did you play in the game?

@tobilobaCodes00 You can go back. When learning a new technology you can default to js. Less mental workload and ts stress but for production grade apps then ts all day. I used js when building docker containers because the goal was to containerize the app.

It's general knowledge that when you start using typescript, you can't go back. Right???

life rewards action not intelligence

Life all these while.

@MeyenOla @tobilobaCodes00 @akinkunmi Not every full-stack dev started from the frontend so the "basic" frontend skills you are thinking about requires a certain level understanding of design principles which not everyone has. Making jest of someone's effort is never a form of constructive criticism. Do better.

Full-stack but his ui skills is very-poor.. @tobilobaCodes00 @akinkunmi come and see your (full-stack)guy. Tagged you guys so that you can be the judge of your fellow (full stack) bros😂😂

Knowing how to use AI to build software is a skill that goes far beyond simply prompting. In his talk and blog @addyosmani clearly breaks down the different levels of AI assisted coding. I'm currently in L4 and this blog has greatly opened my mind. shorturl.at/dG4Cw

Before learning cloud tools, understand: - networking basics - identity & access - cost implications Which one of these three do you want to learn more of next? We’ll send you a link to a module!

@yehhmisi Anything to discredit the efforts and achievements of graduates.

It definitely does, you need to be some level of smart to graduate from the university.

"At [Man Utd], I have nothing wrong to say about the club." Alejandro Garnacho opens up on his Manchester United exit and insists there's no bad blood with his former club 🗣️

@Tobielobba @mrchidipascal Just post something as basic as "will AI replace dev" "Wordpress v native development" and watch the algo do its thing. Getting pushed to my TL even from people I don't follow or interact with. Messed up algo and messed up people feeding it.

@mrchidipascal It's just annoying, there should be something in their algorithm that can spot value instead of rage bait and non sense

You keep emphasizing “original content” and “giving value,” and I agree with that. But there’s something that doesn’t add up. A lot of people are putting in real work. They spend hours, sometimes nights, creating thoughtful, valuable content and it goes nowhere. At the same

@mrchidipascal Very common in the Nigerian tech space. Reach a certain height and everyone else not at that point is beneath you in every aspect. You don't have to be a designer to appreciate good designs and sometimes even the best designers need to understand the context to appreciate it.

Throwing shades to prove a point is not intellectually sound. There are designers in this Nigeria, far far better than you. Be humble.
