@sun@shitposter.world Where is the source code?

@SuperDicq right here, friend:

https://git.shipoclu.com/moon/plspace

@sun@shitposter.world I spot 20 emdashes in the tiny readme file and you didn't even add the .claude folder to your gitignore.

Also I can't read what license your repo uses without being required to make an account on your forge.

0/10 vibecoded retroslop

@SuperDicq AGPL. you can access it without bullshit via:

rad:z2gAKC6ESt5ZBV419uVPf2vFtEHCT

I use Radicle now because scrapers I have to lock down gitea

@SuperDicq anyway it works really good and the code is clean.

@sun@shitposter.world You honestly even did retroslop wrong because it is a javascript based single page app. The reason people like retroslop is because it was simple and there was no client side code, just pure serverside rendered HTML using something like PHP. This isn't even retroslop it's just aestheticslop.

@SuperDicq it's faster than php

@sun@shitposter.world That's not the point I am trying to make here.

@SuperDicq I understand what you're saying but that's not what I was going for, I made a deliberate choice to do this as a static frontend even if you personally don't like that.

@sun @SuperDicq the point he's trying to make is that you should block him for being insufferable

@lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world I'm not very happy with seeing my long term mutuals promote their vibecoded garbage on the timeline. I really don't want to have to block you guys. I want to coonvince you to actually start developing free software again.

@SuperDicq @lain Can you provide me with a checklist of do's and do not's for writing software going forward?

@SuperDicq @lain @sun Personally, I'd argue that writing READMEs are the most mind-numbingly boring bit of writing software and rather one of the better use cases for an LLM.

@Phobos @lain @SuperDicq I also do admit that there is a systemic issue of what happens to the next generation of programmers who aren’t forced to learn things the hard way like I had to, but for me personally I don’t write any code a machine can now shit out ever again and that’s not actually a problem

@sun @Phobos @SuperDicq @lain I wanna program for fun again* but I don't think I will use LLMs much. We'll see how that goes.

* I've been saying this for a while now but haven't really done anything.

@besserwisser @Phobos @lain @SuperDicq @sun i like to program and i wanna learn because it's nice, so what I do is use the LLM as a tool for learning how to program/solve an issue when programming. When I have an issue I ask it how to fix it by giving it examples of what I've done, and when I know I wanna implement smth but don't know how, I ask it to teach me the best practices or how it is usually done in that program.

@mischievoustomato @Phobos @SuperDicq @besserwisser @sun I just say “make this” and it does it.

@lain @Phobos @SuperDicq @sun @mischievoustomato That's kind of a trap I fear to fall into. Letting the LLM do stuff instead of doing it myself and learn in the process. Also, I don't want to pay for whatever subscription I need to get something decent for a little hobby project and local models are probably gonna be really slow and clunky.

@besserwisser @Phobos @SuperDicq @sun @mischievoustomato what’s the trap

@lain @Phobos @SuperDicq @sun @mischievoustomato *learn nothing in the process
Kinda messed up there. Basically, I fear I won't learn how to program if I don't have to program and with LLMs I can always just let it do the whole thing and learn nothing from it.

@besserwisser @Phobos @SuperDicq @sun @mischievoustomato do you fear that you don’t know how the haber-Bosch process works when you’re planting your garden?
