I am so tired of this. Especially when MS, who has the worst LLMs of them all, is throwing the stones.

All of these companies need to be shut down.

> Vibecoding has been the norm for months

That's your editorialization.

Did you even click the link? That's not true at all. The title matches the tin.

I would probably retitle this less as "programming tricks" rather instead make it "bash/zsh CLI tricks" as this only really tangentially refers to programming.

I remember running the docker container for ollama and its knowledge cutoff is somewhere in 2023 still. That's unacceptable.

This is an AI-generated slop article. Pay it no mind.

The author is going to have massive remorse if they think moving to macOS will let them customize things.

Using macOS (especially Apple Silicon era macOS) feels like being in maximum security prison. If you thought Windows Vista UAC was bad, macOS is doing it worse right now.

The reasoning is all wrong.

> I'm 30 this year, and computers don't have the same level of whimsy and excitement as they once had.

Also wtf. I'm far older than this author, and this statement they made is just complete and total schlock. They don't have enough experience to say what they're saying.

Reminder that Waterfox removes all of this nonsense.

And if you want an even more security hardened fork, LibreWolf.

Vanilla Firefox lost the plot a long time ago.

That’s not correct. It reaches back to the 12.

They might be referring to the Apple Intelligence features in particular.

There have been far more buggy iOS releases than stable ones. A few years in particular were absolute disasters until December or January. It is very sound graybeard advice to wait until the .1 release. Apple has not earned the trust to upgrade on day 1.

It’s definitely happening in 2029 if the election goes a certain way. They all know that too.

There WILL be an end to this.

> It is very hard to debug and fix stuff on Linux if something goes wrong.

No it isn't. That was true maybe 20 years ago. Most distros now just work. If something isn't working, the internet solves most of the problems.

SC64 has an 80 on Metacritic. Re-evaluate your statement with evidence.

Nobody wanted this. This is so off base. This is Microsoft operating at an insanely incompetence.

In my experience I had more issues with ChatGPT being terse, rude, and contrarian rather than Claude.

ChatGPT also does this thing where it suggests a WRONG answer first, then later goes "wellllll, you could actually do it THIS way instead" which is infuriating.

Do this instead:

-Craft a prompt in a text editor

-Open duck.ai, chatgpt, claude, and gemini

-Ask all 4 the same prompt

-Compare all the results and make a decision

I normally suggest the same, but 26 has been universally bad. This is the "point release" or "Snow Leopard" edition of 26.

I'd normally suggest waiting till a .1 release, but 26 was such a disaster that I might forego this advice.

This might be the most inaccessible and unreadable article I've ever seen. From IEEE no less. Zero stars on both the presentation and the content.

Code does not operate under the rights of a country, and your definition of "speech" and "Free speech" is misguided and wrong.

All these companies are suddenly crying about "slowing down" after insisting on having no guardrails nor restrictions?

All at once in lockstep?

Who paid them to say this? These are all lies.

This fall, buy Ocarina of Time and not GTA 6.

Rockstar deserves no sales.

As a reminder - get off Twitter and get onto Mastodon (Bluesky is dead to rights). Those of you addicted to what was formerly Twitter need to move on.

Insert and Print Screen are not gone. Every one of my keyboards (with the exception of Macbooks) has Insert.

Meanwhile, Print Screen is very much a staple of Windows and Linux screenshotting.

Reverse Tab is kind of still around, just as Shift Tab and Ctrl Tab.

I don't know what the author was thinking when they wrote that.

Vibe coding is expensive. It eats tokens, which costs your org dearly.

You can't just do what you want - you have to choose and use your brain to decide, with metrics, what's worth doing.

Also, code things yourself. It's free, uses your brain, exercises your skills, and makes you look 10 steps ahead of your AI slopping coworkers.

Use the firefox extension "Dark Background and Light Text".

Absolutely. There is no question.

At my place of work we've recently hired several 'engineers' who have been exposed as frauds who know nothing but how to beg the chatbot to do things. When you bring actual issues that require critical thinking or technical knowledge, they fold like a stack of cards and meat-proxy a Teams reply to you.

1. Android Automotive is run by Google, so that entire argument goes out the window immediately, because Google

2. Car companies bypass CarPlay/Android Auto with their own head units with software that executes before the projection software does.

It may not be 100%, but human code is objectively more reliable and higher quality than any LLM generated slop code.

You can't change the laws of physics.

If it isn't connected to the network, it can't communicate.

I have a TCL TV where a recent firmware update actually fixed up some Arc power settings and a few other things. I only connect the TV to update it once every 6 months, and as soon as the update is done, it gets unplugged from the network again.
