When I ask the AI Agent to upgrade to a major version of an npm package. I even give it the migration guide upfront. But it still ends up touching way too many files and overcomplicating things. Doing it manually was way faster.
When do AI coding assistants hit a wall for you? . For me, when working on open-source libraries, they hit a wall pretty quickly unless you're writing tests or docs. Even then, they need hand-holding.

It’s the principle of anti fragility. A system gets stronger when controlled stress is applied. Muscles grow strong because of the physical strain of working out. Same concept applies for social settings. Step out of the comfort zone to get better at socializing.
listening to a podcast and they are literally saying networking and going to social events is a muscle like working out. absolutely facts.

Great vibe coding can’t be taught (at least for now), just like it’s hard to teach someone how to draw great art or write great novels. It’s just a vibe.

Hey chat,. Is the inverse true when it comes to software development? What do we think?.
Your writing is at its best when you care the least.

PSA:. If you're gonna blindly bring in AI suggestions to a codebase, at least remove the Tailwind classes. The codebase doesn't even use Tailwind.

“Never” approvers > Rubber stampers. Both are not perfect, but if those are the only choices I’d pick the former over the latter.

I'm sure @housecor would have a thing or two to say about this. We've been bitten by rubber stamp approvers before 😅.

Reviewers, please don’t approve PRs just for the sake of it. Rubber-stamping PRs takes away from the purpose and value of the whole code review process. Think of code reviews not just as a way to catch bugs, but as a great opportunity to teach and learn from each other.

Strive to become the big picture engineer. It gets easier to pull off last minute things when you know the system inside out.
being a developer is getting confident at pulling last minute things.
