I'm just saying for me personally its even further moved into the box of "why would this bother me as a user of their service"

I agree and might eventually move on from prox(focusing on higher layers in infra atm) but the author claimed its GUI-only which is not true.

I get the advantage of fully declarative systems such as Nix, but everything you do in proxmox via GUI can be done via CLI: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/#_command_line_interface

CLI is first class in proxmox, I use the qm command for managing vms all the time. The networking is also just a file in `/etc/network/interfaces` that I modify with vim as needed.

I see this as valid use, they are paying for the tokens to get this reasoning aren't they?

Obviously they didn't ask for permission when scraping all of libgen, reddit, all blog sites for FREE. When China pays for its use and does it I'm supposed to see it as some sort of problem?

Furthermore Chinese models getting better means we Americans might have the chance to use top tier AI without strict KYC built around it. Go Alibaba I say

If you are able to leverage claude code, neovim, and tmux effectively cursor is no longer needed in the mix, but to each his own

My jaw dropped when I read this guy wrote ffmpeg AND QEMU!!? Thats insane levels of talent and capability. I remember looking through the source for QEMU and it appeared monstrous in its scale. Dude is a legend, no wonder Carmack is complimenting him.

Didn't bother reading more after seeing the vibeslopped landing page that took < 2 hours to make.

Also "700+ Discord Members" is not any type of endorsement of a technology or service.

Its a 15GB docker image and is quite bloated in my experience. Probably moving to gitea soon myself.

Had to zoom to 150% to make it bearable

At this point why not just host your own gitea or something.

New comment by redlewel in "Going full AI engineer, not touching code anymore"

redlewel — Tue, 19 May 2026 18:44:36 +0000

Only a few sentences in and its like reading linkedin... Obviously written using ai with little to no review.

In regards to the title/subject, if you completely stop thinking about code in terms of actual programming comprehension you are setting yourself up for failure. Unless you are a senior with 5+YOE and have an insane list of useful projects completed without using AI, you need to keep learning features of the language and writing code by hand or your skills with atrophy and you will become less effective over time.

WOW. Thanks for the comment I don't need to waste my time. So many choices for programming languages why would I go with something that isn't fully open source?

Yes, I remember having a problem with python indentation. For some reason tabs and spaces were causing my code to fail to run!! This was when I was first learning programming and didn't know anything. Once I understood the syntax of the language it hasn't been a problem ever since. Its like being upset that your yaml doesn't work because you have mixed spaces and tabs.
