JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on The Fifth Element – "Becoming One of the Most Successful Films of the 1990s"
It was a simple movie with a simple story and pretty pictures. Last but not least the costumes were made with Jean-Paul Gaultier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Paul_Gaultier).

Sometimes it works, it's fun, and that's why it's one of those movies that I still watch once a year with a bag of pop-corn.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: I hacked together an open world game with Claude Code
LibreWolf on a shitty computer. 3D games were way faster in the 80s with a few MHz, I wonder what went wrong.

The very concept of lurking more is a thing of the past sadly. It would solve so many problems.
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Why Don't Our Leaders Care About How We Work?
I only had one good manager once in my life. He was our cheerleader when we were late developing features (not our fault), he was handling everything unrelated to coding and all we had to do was work, and he was protecting us from the upper levels with their useless concerns and demands.

All the other managers I ever had were toxic assholes who would have cheerfully took Hitler's job if it meant a salary raise for them.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Windows 11 Roadmap
"Roadmaps? Where we're going, we don't need roadmaps” - Emmett Brown probably (LibreWolf on Linux)
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Xee: A Modern XPath and XSLT Engine in Rust
It's only a sample of one but I'm really unhappy with the issues and limitations that JSON and YAML have, and I welcome XML if it has good tools.
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: AI Reading Companion
Beta waitlist. Book uploads: 4/month for $12/month, that's low. Do you remove the DRM on AZW3?
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Direct OS level API to control computers using AI (MCP server/client template)
People are celebrating security holes controlled by a black box in another country, and they still have the guts to call it "open-source." Have fun though if you like it.
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: The every typeScript developer is LLM Agent Developer
> So I confidently say, "I am one of the best programmers in my country, Korea."

The best programmer in South Korea should not limit himself to vibe-coding todo lists in TypeScript. Feel free to discover other languages!

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Ask HN: How long until lawyers, other industries are automated with AI?
Law and finance are regulated industries, it's not gatekeeping.

> programming is an open field

Absolutely not. Some coding jobs are regulated too like medical devices, defense, or finance. It's the law because you have specific responsibilities that can have a lot of bad consequences. Feel free to do something else if you don't want to respect that. I don't want to have dead people around me because you have a grudge against lawyers whatever they did to you.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on What to Spot on AI Nowadays?
> building a product becomes relevant only with the adoption of AI

Why?

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: Verex – Write E2E tests in plain English, powered by Playwright and AI
Once again, the downfall of SWE continues. What you call "brittle test scripts" should be an important part of the specifications, and those flaky tests should teach you something that you purposefully ignored by using a random test generator.

I have a very negative feeling about the future of programming if that trend continues and spreads.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Vibe coding a Mastodon thread unroller
No code at all, and spending money for an invalid HTML file that could have been done in a few minutes by copying text in a Markdown file and generating the same web page. I'm not sure what we should celebrate here.
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Most engineers have Git aliases; what are yours?
> Most engineers

I don't believe that but I use https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/git

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Patterns of AI Native Dev
Can someone tell why there seems to be a conspiracy to remove developers out of the loop? It's always focused on devs as if we were some kind of bad gatekeepers who were hiding behind the big bad programming languages as if it was an arcane knowledge that couldn't be learned? It's creepy and always comes from vibe people who have something to sell.
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on New Search Engine for land management
Do you "need" AI like you would "need" a blockchain?
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: Cocommit – A copilot for git commit
It's a great addition to vibe coding: people who can't code and don't want to learn can now write commit messages they won't understand. Do we really need LLMs and AI slop to write a few sentences now? What's next? LLMs to move the cursor of your mouse because it's too hard?
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: Slot.ai – Goal-Driven AI Phone Call Agent
It is only for spam or does it have another purpose?
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Our open-source solution reduces physician documentation time by 40%
Dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43469611

Also this in the first file that I randomly opened: `file_location = f"/tmp/{audio_file.filename}"`. I hope that's a joke?

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: A website that lets you create and collect trading cards
You should add examples because the page is mostly empty. Also is it like NFTs without the blockchain? Those things are dead, and I don't know if it solves a real issue or if it's a niche.
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on [dead]
And nothing of value was lost except for the vibe coders who are frantically trying to call 911 as they are harassed by the bullying compilers with their warnings and errors.

> Any feedback or questions welcome

Come back once you have something to show.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one
> LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day

You can also restrict yourself to following friends, and disable notifications from people who write too much crap. I do this and my feed is acceptable.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Ask HN: Would you hire a "vibe coder"?
1. I would see that a red flag.

2. Any standard education in CS or SWE, AI hasn't changed anything about it IMHO. Only people hyping ChatGPT believe that the world has changed.

2b. It doesn't change anything since "vibe coding" (aka "code vomit") has no value to me. I want to work with juniors eager to learn, and vibe coders are not part of that group.

I already had bad experiences with "vibe coders" who can't explain or debug their code. They are like "pigeon CEOs" and only add problems without bringing solutions.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Meta pirated books to train its AI
I can't prove you wrong and I don't think there is any benefit to society when a company with a black box doesn't give back to the community (aka humanity as a whole) and doesn't pay anyone. Copyright may be broken, but the only realistic way to encourage creators is to give them money. We don't live in a utopia, and people need money to eat.

Also, in France and as an individual, if I were to openly torrent all the content of Libgen or Anna's Archive, I would have to spend the rest of my life in jail whereas Zuck can enjoy having more billions with the same behavior.

Some kind of rant: The world is truly fucked right now if such behaviors are rewarded, but at my grand old age of almost 50, I'm starting to move away from all this and it's relaxing: I live a simpler life, I buy from small creators, and I learn whatever I want. I have also gained a lot of time that I can now spend by helping people around me. Life can be fun if you ignore that you'll never be in control of all the bad behaviors around you.

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on France rejects backdoor mandate
It's still true today. A cop friend of mine told me "if you arrest all the drug dealers, the whole city will burn in less than 24 hours."
JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on 'Vibe Coding' Is Super-Charging Startups, Y Combinator CEO Says
> do the work of a team of 50 to 100

How can I take those guys seriously when they show that they have never worked on big projects before? A team of 50 developers work on $million projects, how can you simulate that with an LLM?

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on Show HN: Prompt Engineering Studio – Toolkit for deploying AI prompts at scale
> How do you version control thousands of prompts?

Kill me now.

> How do you collaborate across hundreds of engineers

What do you mean by that? This only targets a few big companies.

> A tech firm that cut deployment times from 3 days to near-instant

That's a process and maybe CI issue, I don't see how AI would improve any of that but I'll be gladly proven wrong.

> You can try it yourself at prompt.new

All I see is a login page from another company. Don't you have a web site with all those serious prompting you do?

JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B··on 'I thought I was going to be someone': how Gen Z became a generation of rejects
> no one in history has been rejected more than Gen Z

Yeah, no.

> they took an intensive nine-month coding boot camp

They fell for a scam, I'll give them that.
