I think "AI slop" is the de facto nomenclature.

Anyone that thinks they're "coding on the go" with something of this form factor is kidding themselves.

It's such a good investment that it's why insurance was invented.

You are never guaranteed to be able to do anything during a crash. You are better off handling these kinds of edge cases in a recovery phase during the start of your app.

Wireguard is p2p.

EDIT: I guess the point is it's doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!

I can't wait to see how this becomes the project Manhattan of our time.

Don't most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

That a "working" prototype with no tests is just as good as a carefully-designed and well-tested feature. I see this happen so often that a coder puts a prototype in front of a product manager or exec and they are like, "this is exactly what we need, now! Ship that!" And then misery ensues for all of the engineers that need to maintain this piece of garbage. As managers pressure the engineers to build new features on top, they inevitably break fundamental parts of it, and without a confident leader to demand that tech debt is paid off, that product will consume the souls of many desperate coders.

In contrast, if you do it right the first time, there will be significant parts of code that never need to change, and the parts that do need to change will be much easier, because it will be obvious if it breaks the tests.

If your goal is to "self-host" a password manager, you might as well use Keepass + SyncThing.

  • free software
  • master password protected
  • has organization and auto-fill features
  • can sync across multiple devices

Usually the downfall of rolling your own password manager is it's easier to make mistakes and accidentally lock yourself out. Or if you don't keep backups/replicas then you could easily lose your passwords.
