90s Internet was mostly dialup. 640MB of information took six or more hours to download.

The article should give us a text-only list. It's almost useless on mobile.

Yeah, sorry if my tone seemed patronizing.

And I can relate with you. Orbital predictions? "This body will collide with that other body 7 years from now"? Whoa. Magic indeed!!

In Spanish you have: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Antarctica and Oceania.

With North and South America, you have seven in English. Neat!

No need to call dumb to the person asking the questions. Answer them and help them see the light without them feeling small. None of us came to this world with knowledge.

Oh I see! Thanks. I thought that they deliberately rejected your patch. But it was more about the red tape getting in the way. Yeah, that sounds frustrating.

[-] ElBarto@piefed.social 4 points 7 months ago

Why didn't your patch get merged?

I still have my reservations, but I've changed my mind about "vibe coding".

Juniors vibe coding? Awful idea. It stunts learning. Non-programmers vibe coding? Aside from small scripts, anything exposed to the internet is a dangerous thing.

Experienced programmers who already know what they're doing? Code assistants can be a bliss for tired fingers and wrists.

Do you tell Claude to make a plan first?

That helps me tremendously. Whenever something needs to be modified, I tell it to update the plan first, and to stick to the plan.

That way, Claude doesn't rewrite code that has already been implemented as part of the plan.

And understanding the plan helps understanding the code.

Sometimes if I know there will be a lot of code produced, I'll tell it to add a quick comment on every piece it adds or modifies with a reference to the step in the plan it refers to. Makes code reviewing much more pleasant and easier to follow. And the bugs and hallucinations stick out more too.

Thanks for the links.

Well, that's disappointing.

How are they assholes? What did I miss?

That's like saying that there are facts and alternative facts.
