    Brace yourselves, because this is only going to get worse with the current “vibe coding” trend.

        Its going to be 1GB node_modules handled by garbage ai code
        ai is only good at doing smaller scripts but loosing connections and understandment in larger codebases, combined with people who cant program well (i mean not only coding but debugging… as well) also called vibe programmers its going to be a mess

        if a product claims it has vibecoding: find an alternative!

          I’m losing my will to live lately at an alarming rate.

          I used to love IT, way back at the start of 00s.

          Soon after the 10s started, I noticed bullshit trends replacing one another… like crypto or clouds or SaaS… but now with the AI I just feel alienated. Like we’re just all going to hell, and I hate the first row seating.

            At this point, I think it’s required to have a sort of alternate identity online and keeping anything private, photos of yourself and other information just offline. Except for government stuff, which requires your real identity.

              I mean yeah, I selfhost everything, but I hate that i have to learn and support the most useless shit ever just to earn a living.

              It used to be fun being a dev, now I’m just repeating the same warning phrases about technologies.

    Anyone who uses Grindr, please be aware that any photos you send are cached and stored unencrypted in plain old folders on the receiver’s phone, regardless of whether they were expiring or in an album that you later revoked. It’s nearly trivial to grab any photo someone sends you, with no watermark or screenshot notification.

    Just don’t send nudes… why do people think other people won’t figure out how to screenshot or just keep photos forever? Even if you trust the person, the person could get hacked… the pwned guy got pwned for Jehova’s sake. Just stop sending that shit.
