I realized I can finally have all 3 of my characters as avatars, now that I don't use Areon on this account. wvrnMlem

That aside, I wouldn't even be sure what programming language to use.
- TypeScript or JavaScript? I already got enough of that shit at work. No thanks.
- Haskell? Can't use that anymore now that I've used Koka.
- Koka? Has no official I/O. It would be doable because FFI is easy, but hm...
- Go? I don't like Go at all.
- Python? No.
- Never tried Rust, but it looks daunting.
- C#? Feels very enterprise-y

A generic vocabulary that covers all applications sounds great until you find out that there are multiple ways to represent something and which one is "right" is completely arbitrary

"Hey can you just turn me into a dragon?"
"Uh, what? No way, that's impossible"
"Oh come on, you just want to be lazy. It can't be that hard"
"..."
"Also make sure I get fire breath and the ability to travel through time"
"Dude, what the f-"
"Here, ChatGPT says it's easy, too"

One of the most frustrating curses of being a software developer is knowing how technical things work, but being unable to make it clear to regular people why "just do _" would entail an absolutely ridiculous amount of work

I’d just call [vibe coding] “coding” – it’ll be the default soon enough. For the old way: “hand-coding”
If wasting an entire year and having me fix the resulting project for 2 months (ongoing) is the future, then software dev is doomed woozy_baa
