Now, your friend with the birlliant idea doesn’t need you anymore and can ask a chatbot to make his brilliant app all by himself!

That is definitely a great benefit of vibe coding: it’s an idiot magnet and frees up our brainspace.

I am using KDE’s Plasma 6 as a DE with Wayland. The compositor (window managers are a Xorg thing) is KWin

The shortcuts I use are Meta+Up/Down/Left/Right. I can’t remember if they’re default or if I set them this way.

I prefer to switch down to the VD with the doc on fullscreen than noving my head to another monitor

When I discovered it can be arranged in a grid, it made VDs so much more useful.

Cause a line of the same amount of VDs (9)… Ugh, not fun haha

Even though you can map each to a shortcut, it’s still tougher to use than a grid with directional shortcuts!

Maybe a cross setup would work for you if you ever need a 5th VD :)

Haha that’s fair

Although it’s a habit thing. Most of these are fixed, I never switch them to a different position. So the only ones I have to remember is A1-2 if I am using them, the rest is as easy as knowing where your glasses are stored in your cupboards.

Faster switch. Think each column being 1-3 and each row as A-C

B2 is my terminals, B3 is my IDE, B1 is a secondary IDE (for instance, DataGrip), C row is browser windows, A1-2 is temporary, not often used windows, A3 is communication apps. I mostly use A3, B2-3 and C2-3. It’s all mapped in my head so I can instantly switch to whichever VD I need.

Same. So now I am renting a place to work and it’s much better :)

People can joke about little problems of their life while knowing that there are much bigger problems in the world.

True for the phone and tablet, but for any sort of computer that is not true

I work on a laptop with virtual desktops and I am much more productive that way than with a big screen… Or two big screens.

Everything is in the center of my field of view, I know which VD of my 3x3 grid holds what. It’s much more efficient for me than bigger screens could ever be. And that is not for lack of trying!

It just depends on the person.

Okay that’s something I had no idea about hahaha

Probably asked ChatGPT to make a list of libraries with age verification and didn’t bother to check hahaha

I don’t know where you live, but I have never seen a library having age verification for consulting anything.

Only age verification was for a membership card, which is rarely mandatory to consult.

I am convinced Rust haters are simply refusing to learn something new, consciously or not.

The danger of vibe coding is that the people doing it either don’t have the skills to or don’t think it’s importsnt to review the AI changes.

If you work with an AI and instead of taking time typing through boring tasks, take time reading through the changes, them there isn’t much of an issue. A skilled software engineer is capable of noticing logic errors in a code they read.

If the generated code is too unmecessarily complex to ensure its logic is okay, then scrap it.

I don’t use it in that way (only use JetBrains’ line completion AI) but I don’t see a problem if it is used that way.

However, if I review a code that was partly generated by AI and notice that the dev let through shitty code without review, the review will be salty.

Luckily, they don’t own any of Wikipedia’s content, and it’s all downloadable at anytime by anyone wanting to create a mirror.

I’m having a really hard time donating to wikipedia now that I’ve learned they are actually doing pretty well and don’t need donations as urgently as their invasive banners say.

Now, of course their main revenue stream is donations (not only, I don’t have the numbers but they sell commercial access to big tech through a for-profit company, Wikimedia Enterprise). But the whole guilt tripping strategy they’ve been using for a decade without actually needing it is disgusting.

I strongly recommend watching this 10min, sourced video on the topic from fern.

I’d rather donate to non profits that actually need it and yet don’t resort to these emotionally manipulating campaigns.
