nice i’ve been using a program i built to listen to ytmusic for free from the terminal without a sub. i find so many channels now are just long form ads or the same 5 takes on “the new thing.” would be interested in what you found though in terms of channels. i do find this one dude, “saveitforparts,” entertaining.

i 100% agree with what you’re saying, i’m just using a catch all term (news, entertainment ykwim). yes though, demonetize all reaction videos.

everything is the same regurgitated garbage i can get anywhere or from an llm myself. what are you reading/watching/following when it comes to programming or tech in general?

here are a few i have put time and effort into. these are not “vibe coded”, but an agent was utilized at points to save copious amounts of time implementing my architectural decisions; my schedule is pretty slammed as is.

https://mithraeum.studio - local first agent and editor in C, also a few models on HF (mainly jsut qwen wrapped atm but working on from scratch) https://fieldopt.dev - SaaS for dispatching jobs to the field (technicians, trades, delivery, etc.) https://github.com/zblauser/ytcli - youtube music from the terminal in zig (ps it’s free, no sub needed)

did you not read the entire post? also correct the one file IS the entire thing. compiling one file on iSh on an iPhone actually works well.

sure i can share it. it started as a text editor that i incorporated an agent into then moved to a standalone agent. now i’ve got the editor, agent, and have begun work on actual from scratch models (these aren’t available yet), but i’ve been messing with fine tuning ollama coder models as something in the meantime. the goal is embedded models accessible to everyone offline. too many tasks require many less parameters than people are using on them and don’t need to be routed through data centers. mainly just built it for myself but figured others might find it neat and/or useful. it’s all C, no packages or third party libraries. also to be clear i’m not against ai, im against it making 100% of the decisions for you. outside of its own models it’s capable of OAuth with claude and gh. it can also api into many others. tooling is always ongoing maintenance and i’ve got the next version of basically all three of them on the back burner waiting to be pushed. so anyway, here’s my little setup, here’s to not getting killed in the comments. contributions also welcome. https://github.com/mithraeums/hako-code

i write an agent in C, create my own models. crickets. pewdiepie gets into programming on a whim creates slop, 3k stars.

i feel like regardless what you're doing, consistency is key, aside from actually learning right? you mentioned people running three sessions at once on projects they have no hope of maintaining. very fair point, it's just gambling at that point. however, working on the same project or few projects, you DO hope to maintain (even with ai) for 8 months to a year straight is an entirely different experience than trying to powerhouse anything and everything just to have it? or something, i'm not really sure what the point in this would be. it isn't applicable on a resume or impressive to anyone with any real technical experience. at least if you're staying consistent you're learning something about the process, how to improve it, everything it does, etc. i've seen it time and time again, previously nontechnical or barely technical people "getting into coding" (i.e. using ai), creating something that would've taken time 10 years ago and marveling at it like they've done something. meanwhile, without thinking.. "if i had no prior experience and was able to quickly throw something together with AI, how valuable is the thing i threw together really?" to be clear i'm not saying you're doing this, but this is certainly what a LOT of the people you described are doing. this isn't even delving into the bugs and security flaws their programs are most likely full of. never mind they're learning practically nothing. anyway, i generally agree with your sentiment.
