I didn’t get Rewards or the Tip Tuesday modal, not sure what’s up with that

It came through and showed last week. 🥲 

I think Farcaster has radicalized me against React Native. I’m blaming that for every single bug I see

Or could it be that “choo choo” comes at the cost of quality? 

Could that be? 

Say it ain’t so

"Move fast and break things" to navigate "The messy middle"

I use AI to help me build but got so frustrated at the loss of control I stopped doing fully agentic dev bc I’m too stupid. Copy/paste for now

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

I wish I understood during peak coder that you could ship buggy ass shit like this app and still make $250-$300k
