So no joke, vibe coding has other real world equivalents.

I always struggled to explain how my ex cooked because it was always a toss up if it ended well, but she was definitely a "vibe cook."

Recipe calls for searing? Fry it on a pan, flip it over fry it on the other side until cooked all the way through. Recipe calls for cream of potato? Cream of celery is fine. The only seasoning is pepper and salt? Eh, can't hurt to use mixed seasoning salt used for burgers. Saute? Nah, just throw it in a pan.

Braised? Broiled? It's cooked.

Ribs call for 18 hours on Low heat? 4 hours on high will do it.

Vibe coding is a way to generate crap for people who are crap at coding and for users that are used to crap.

I mean, some of those things are just because online recipes are usually shit. You can pretty much always use a spice blend instead of salt and pepper, you can always add Chile powder at any concentration you desire, and you should always double the garlic (at least). Granted, some of this is because most recipes are written by AI nowadays.

Vibe-reaping what you vibe-sow

I have a friend who is trying to vibe code a unity project. I don't have high hopes for him, but I'm doing my best to support him and help him out.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 19 hours ago

I mean if he's genuinely interested in learning Unity and just using AI to help with learning that's good, but yeah if he's just making the AI do all the work and relying on it then yeah probably not gonna go good.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 19 hours ago

It's a bit of both. I'll try to help him if he asks for help if/when the AI leads him down the wrong path, but who knows how deep in the tangled weeds of spaghetti he'll be in by then.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago

I mean spaghetti code is a part of learning a new tool, my first Unity projects I did back in highschool have some really bad spaghetti code. I've since learned from then and found better ways to organize things to avoid that. But yeah if you're just letting AI write your spaghetti you're not gonna understand why it's bad and that prevents learning what you can do better next time.

Don’t. Let him drown. Bring the popcorn.

As long as you can keep the vibe coded pieces tiny and modular you’d probably be fine. But that takes a robust knowledge of Unity and gamedev architecture, and at that point you should probably just write it yourself.

Complex, math-heavy stuff like gaming usually is too much for an AI. It’s better at like, basic Python scripts or writing a bunch of dirty CSS.

It can help out a lot in writing base systems. I wanted to learn rust and made gpt write a game with me, it really could handle more complex things than I thought. For example it wrote a diablo style rotatable inventory system (cli, no graphic) which impressed me a lot.

Another game prototype i had lying around in react i asked Jules to refactor to use event sourcing rather than mutating values and I only had to give it a few pointers on what it had missed. It even found an old bug I had missed.

I guess nothing of it was really math heavy but that inventory grid was really solid

[-] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

I don't think he's gonna need much math. He will need complicated editor things set up though, and I'm doubtful that the AI will understand much.

Being a lineman is dangerous enough fuck that

[-] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

That looks like telephony though, which is a lot less dangerous.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

Yeah that's true, no transformer.

Still. Fuck that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Absolutely, hell to the nah.

does the pictured afront to cable porn exist somewhere

[-] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Edit: I was thinking of something else. But this is India and it does likely still exist, yes

[-] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

This same type of cable setup can be found in the Philippines as well.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

I've seen similar in Vietnam and Thailand too (this year). So I'm guessing it's common across South East Asia.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Jesus lol I love and hate it. Thank you

[-] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Edited because I realized I goof’d a bit. The million dollar repair was a specific place, and likely not this one. These are fairly common in India, and this one very probably still exists.

And a funny I found while trying to find information

I believe it was already useless because of polio.

Fuck me sideways. What a world.

So my backyard is a utilities easement and it pretty much looks like this.
