I have a bucket setup with my web host and then I use the Dropshare app to upload them. If I come across a meme or video I like, I fling it on there and it copies the URL to my clipboard. Now I have a place to store them that doesn’t require maintaining a local collection.

Let a kid try out one of my RC trucks. First thing he did was plow the fucking thing into my leg. Kids are dumb (and now no one is allowed to drive them 😤)

We have a ginger that manages to shove himself under a weighted comforter and when even a bag rustles.

If you’re basing whether or not you’re “left” on anecdotal evidence of some leftists celebrating his death, you probably weren’t very left to begin with.

Rayhunter is the way.

Can’t wait to watch the “blue no matter who” and “I have a fixation on the genitals of trans folks” crowds duke it out again in a rigged election system.

We keep trying to appeal to systems and mechanisms that have been compromised for years by corrupt politicians, judges, and other figures taking payoffs from tech companies.

It will work this time, bro! We will get an actually just judgment! I know it! Just try once more!

Yep, that’s why the super mainstream organizations putting marches together are always suspicious to me. They get their funding from somewhere and the overarching goal is never 100% clear. Often times it’s good people at the center that aren’t aware of the ulterior motive behind the ones bankrolling it.

Even smaller orgs can be easily manipulated. They often don’t do any real research on people before giving them access to internal information that they could easily send to whoever they are working for. It’s something I wish more activist and other organizations would invest their time into.

Mobilization is the spark; organization is the fire. If you have the first and not the latter, you’re not moving the needle. Governments love mobilization because they can co-opt it. They can waste people’s energy via constant mobilization without established organizations.

The trick is giving it tons of context. It also depends on the LLM. Claude has given me the most success.

My take:

• Great for helping with coding tasks (especially the boring grunt work) - with proper context and training! You have to put in the work to get better, more relevant results
• Pretty useless for everything else. I’ve tested it out for everyday tasks and it didn’t offer enough for me to really lean into.

I think this is great. I like hearing about your experience in the VFX industry since it’s unfamiliar to me as a web dev. The storyboard comparison is spot on. I like that people can drum up a “what if” at such a fast pace, but vibe coders need to be aware that it’s not a final product. You can spin it up, gauge what works and what doesn’t, and now you have feasibility with low overhead. There’s real value to that.

Edit: forgot to touch on your PR comment.

At work, we have an optional GitHub workflow that lets you call Claude in a PR and it will do its own assessment based on the instructions file we wrote for it. We stress that it’s not a final say and will make mistakes, but it’s been good in a pinch. I think if it misses 5 things but uncovers 1 bug, that’s still a win. I’ve definitely had “a-ha” moments with it where my dumb brain failed to properly handle a condition or something. Our company is good about using it responsibly and supplying as much context as we possibly can.

Lmao glad I could help! I hate those big commits. They’re so much harder to traverse and know what’s going on. Developer experience has been big on my mind lately. Working 5 days a week is already hard, but there are moments when we can make tiny bits easier for each other.

I don’t really care about vibe coders but as a dev with just under 2 decades in the field:

1. Your vibe coding shit will not go to prod until humans fully review it
2. You better review it yourself first before offloading that massive mental drain to someone else (which means you still need to have some semblance of programming skills). Don’t open a PR with 250 files in it and then tell someone else to validate it.
3. Use more context. Don’t give it vague ass prompts.
4. Don’t use auto-accept. That’s just lazy asshole shit.

I can’t stress this enough: if you give me a PR with tons of new files and expect me to review it when you didn’t even review it yourself, I will 100% reject it and make you do it. If it’s all dumped into a single commit, I will whip your computer into the nearest body of water and tell you to go fish it out.

I don’t care what AI tool wrote your code. You’re still responsible for it and I will blame you.

Dead Internet theory is becoming more and more plausible by the day.

Woah, I feel like I summoned you! Thank you for this app! I use it daily.

I had a feeling it was an app-centric feature. Thanks for the info!

Wow, I’m honored! I know we’ve definitely crossed paths before because I remember the username. Always makes me laugh. I love how tight-knit the Lemmy community is.

Ninja edit: how do you assign tags to a user? I’m on the Mlem app but can’t find that feature.

What up, homie?! I love you back <3

It’s becoming one of those things where more and more people have some bits and pieces from the spectrum. I’m convinced that a big contributor is how stupidly fast-paced our society is, and the amount of information we are expected to constantly be processing.

I’ve always been multi-faceted, but it’s trapped in a brain that fucking squanders it. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 90s. Programmer for decades; sang in a band; been drawing off and on since I was a kid; have an insane ear for following drum arrangements and knowing what’s coming; ice and inline skater since I was a child (grew up playing hockey).

No energy or drive to put all of it to use. Terrible student and traditional teaching environments have never worked for me. I was always labeled “lazy” or hit with the same “he has potential, but […]” bullshit. Programming and computer science stuff were the only things that really panned out for me. Managed to make a career out of it, despite having garbage grades, so that’s been the upside. But I always have those daydreams that crop up where I wonder what could’ve been if I had stuck more heavily with hockey, singing, or art.

Regardless, I’m in my 40s now and I like who I’ve become at the end of it all, I still skate, and I’ve been getting back into art again. You have to keep reminding yourself that everyone’s measure for success is different and you have to refrain from attaching that success to some bullshit capitalist-driven metric that ultimately means fuck all.
