New comment by mahami in "Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code"

mahami — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 15:22:58 +0000

In my love(?)-hate relationship with "vibecoding", even I tried this approach. For a while it worked, though that "while" didn't last as long as the months OOP has been riding this wave. Though, the vibes have usually been off, so I wish I could keep both thinking of and writing that code which adds negligibly to shareholder value. I say "wish" because a part of me has definitely been hijacked, in much the same way as the addictive type of social media. Sometimes I feel like I need a serious intervention.

I might be mistaken, but similar quizzes exist on the glorious quizzing site jetpunk.com[1] You can also play those multiple times a day. I will update the comment with the link to the particular quiz(zes) if and when I find it/them.

New comment by mahami in "Bidets vs. Toilet Paper for the Environment"

mahami — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 16:53:21 +0000

'Wipe AND Wash' would be apt for an article dealing with the hygiene aspect alone. However, bidets are not used along with toilet papers in most parts of the world. The article focuses on the environmental aspect.
