I really wish I could say the same. Depression sucks.

On a serious note, last year I felt so pathetic after reading a comment on a question I posted on stackoverflow that I went over the edge and attempted suicide and like everything else I failed. Not saying that SO was responsible or anything. One guy pushed me over the edge, when I was already under a tremendous stress.

I do. Let me delete my account and come back tomorrow with the same question.

I wouldn’t call stackoverflow reliable. It is only partly reliable, if you are lucky.

There is an IRL adblock. It’s called being a recluse. /s

That is why I cannot take vibe coders seriously. There is a fundamental disconnect between what they are trying to achieve and how they are trying to achieve it.

No. Adblocking helps tremendously with that.

Because you understand that there is more to code than getting it to do what needs to be done, you can objectively judge code on more than one criteria. Meanwhile, vibe coders think that the concerns about structure and maintainability can be short circuited. No wonder, managers and vibe coders think alike.

Better a good enough solution now that the best solution few weeks later.

Yup. It is real. There are people who genuinely believe, it is the future of coding. That is why I posted the tutorial. /s

Exactly. It’s like vibe coders are not interested in writing the best code possible. They just want to write the code and not understand what goes on when a program is run.

Yeah. I hate that the choice is between being miserable or being able to pay the bills. FML

I am a backend dev, but this shit is why I have utmost respect for frontend devs, also because they know how to center a div.
