- I only remember things I understand/care about. Until then there’s no way for me to retain anything.
Therefore I double down on practice the concepts and test my understanding.
- I gave it a serious try for a side project. Entirely vibed from system design to backend, db, frontend and all sort of ci/cd hacks.
I ended up binning the fully vibed version and started again with a design of my own. This mostly because the final product wasn’t really usable.
Then I heavily modified the backend.
In the last days I finished a major refactoring of the frontend.
I’m now in the situation where the project is 20% vibe coded.
If I were to start again it would possibly be less than that. Just because in the process I learnt as much react I need to do things myself.
This was using a mix of gpt4, claude, gemini, lovable…basically anything with a free tier to squeeze free tokens from
- homebrew. I dream of something quick and simple to use as uv is now for python ecosystem
- OP may want to test this setup here [0]. This is a bit more challenging than replacing a google query with a LLMs pipeline

- pregnancy is no joke, you don’t undergo that experience just to see if you like having a baby for one year
- oh yes, they do
but I meant the actual sticker on the keycap (very silly requirement, I know)
- finally a vendor that allows the customization of the super key
and also ships with nvidia gpu
I might have found a new laptop…
- Julia is fun when used with the “array” mindset. It can also get very terse [0]
- what’s the performance of the vm? can you use it for medium heavy tasks?
- OP, are you my manager by any chance? /s
This resonates with me a lot, I can try to show you my perspective.
Been there 10+ yrs, started as “graduate” and never officially got a promotion but I’m now considered principal. This is mostly because I own responsibilities for a big chunk of the core technology. I used to put in 60+ hrs/week and implemented the shiny new products we’re basing our revenue. Salary wise I’m in a mid tier (lower bound) and thanks to our flat hierarchy I don’t have anywhere to go on my career path. More senior engineers to learn from left and we don’t hire juniors to mentor.
I used to be a 10x engineer, delivering 10x. I still am but now I work 1/10th to deliver 1. Pay isn’t great but it’s amazing for how much I work. I think I have golden handcuffs after all. You know, life gets in the way and all of a sudden pushing configs for a saas becomes way less important (and interesting) than, say, spending time with family.
Add all those useless bureaucratic wrapper around any process (I spend 50% of my standing desk time on meetings) and the infinite friction against any new proposal from my side. It’s like they want to kill instead of fostering innovation.
Sorry for the rant, but while looking for a way to sac the guy, you better look also at your organization.
ps the market is horrible at the moment, I’m not leaving just because it’s not that straightforward
- you’d need a training set covering all the useful cases. Something that we don’t have even now for mainstream languages
- A small (not tiny) apartment with a tiny (that yes) garden/outdoor space in Tokyo. Murakami describes something similar in “The Wind Up Bird Chronicle” [0]. I want a small kitchen corner and a spacious and luminous living room for reading and listening to music. As minimal as possible.

- the jobs requiring cuda experience are most of the times because torch is not good enough
- In random order: fixing bugs that bother me; networking; learn
- this.
Having JC focusing on, say, writing a performant OSS CUDA replacement could be bigger than any of the last 20 announcements from openai/goggle/deepmind/etc
- just give a go at vibe coding a moderately complex system and you’ll realize that this is only hype, nothing concrete
it’s a shame that this “thing” has now monopolized tech discussions

- fwiw, on mac/ios you can put your obsidian vault inside icloud directory and have a “free” cross-device sync feature.
- same
but clicking on the hamburger menu it shows a link to “Motions”, which seems to be the first level/demo of the game
