Vibe coding: “Let me use AI to develop a solution for a problem I have. Let me belittle the AI as I tell it how stupid it is for not understanding what I meant with my prompts. After some hours I will either have an unmaintainable solution that I don’t understand enough to build upon or explain to anyone OR I will have a half-baked solution. With a half-baked solution I can either spend twice the amount of time to finish it or trash it and start how I should have started in the first place - understand the problem enough that I can explain it to somebody non-technical.”

The lesson here is that AI is a tool. It is not a buddy coder that you can abuse into doing your work for you. If you have a very specific task that you can easily verify was done correctly, then use that tool 🔨

Don’t expect recklessly flinging a hammer around your house will hang up all those new picture frames that your wife brought home yesterday.

I was curious about the word “fiat”. I looked it up.

What it is: A currency that has value because a government declares it has value 🫠

I knew this already, but what I didn’t know was that the word orignates from Latin (shocker) and has the literal meaning of “to become” or “to be made”.

The word fiat explains perfectly what it is: “Let this be money” 😂

Learned something new today.
