I like that its not just a random hollow rant, it cites good personal reasons. I actually really enjoyed the post, including that Tetris study which is very interesting.

You must not be from around here. They are an untrained, reckless agency that violates the law left and right, entering homes without judicial warrants, ignoring the Constitution, and detaining or harming U.S. citizens. Their tactics are completely cruel. It blows my mind that I still find people who think they only detain 'illegal aliens.' They are trained to detain even those who are here legally and processing their papers the correct way, often waiting for them right outside the courts.

Master scammer, yet his people still trust him...maybe they aspire to be scammers as well.

Yeah, this is definitely not sustainable. We're all getting tired of the content quality going downhill. If it's gonna to be like this for a while, I guess new social networks will have to emerge and moderate more? maybe, especially since the government definitely isn't interested in moderating anything. They just want to win races.

This proves we still need proper knowledge behind the agent. The whole thing about "anyone can code anything" is still inaccurate.

It's a shame, the intention is still there, if they decide to come back I'll give it another shot. Btw, why are we publishing simple static pages at ~2.84 MB compressed.

Wouldn't that be almost impossible?. Politics affects our lives every day. Your comment suggests that you believe it doesn't affect yours.

They took the kid, that already is horrible. This shouldn't have happened.

No, you need to expose them for many reasons, accountability, make it harder for them to join. You questioning this makes me think you agree with their tacticts, and it has been extremely obvious that organization is a total mess of rule breaking.

What works for one might not work for another one. Can't generalize.

Homeschooling doesn't mean the kid stays at home all the time. We homeschool and my kid has classes and different activities all week, interacts with friends and teams. It has worked very well for us given our lifestyle. I would understand it's not for everyone.

not caring about politics is a crime these days. This is just one example of completely unacceptable things happening.

New comment by pacomerh in "Vibe engineering"

pacomerh — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 02:49:54 +0000

I wouldn't worry too much about what to call it. Assigning a distinct label separates it from traditional engineering in a way that it assumes AI-assisted coding is only for a subset of developers. At some point the unusual approach will be writing code without any AI assistance. So the transition will leave the "vibe" behind.

Well, native apps are more popular among non tech savvy people because they’re easier to find and install. I was talking to the guy who works on our backyard and they don't even know what a browser is on their phone.

It still blows my mind most people that agree with this post actually don't know what the word means. This is just a catchy word to divide us.

This page is basically saying they're taking your rights away. And you're ok with it?

Pretty sad to see this. Everyone in the US should be against fascism if they wanted a prosperous life. They're weaponizing the word to get what they want. Its absolute madness. Pretty sad to see this country fall into this state.
