So, I use Github to host some very simple projects, such as my world map running with Leaflet.
Is there another place that would let me easily and freely do this?

Same, i need to find a new place as I use it as basically a free HTML blog and tracker for my table top games.

I remember when the barrier to entry as a software developer was the cost of tools like compilers. You had to rely on your school or employer to provide them. Most often, people pirated them. With current AI, pirating is not an option.
In the US, everyone is much more prosperous than they were 50 years ago. They don’t blink about paying $50/month for a personal phone plan. They pay for multiple streaming plans. They have money coming out their ears. So paying $20-100/month might not discourage a lot of would-be vibe coders. But I don’t think this is the case as much in other parts of the world.
Like it or not, agents are shaping up to be important tools. In a world with free IDEs, free forges, free compilers, etc. , the playing field is about to become less level. It’s a bit of a momentum check.

So glad I’m a giant fuck up and went to school for coding but never did anything with it, at least I don’t have to deal with finding a new job now because fuck all this AI shit.

If your job involves any analysis, you’re next. Once they work out the remaining robotic kinks, labor intensive jobs are cooked. You will not escape.

Oh I’m quite aware of that I just bought some time, my other hobbies being music, video art and graphics design all of which AI has already taken a giant shit all over.

OK, cya.

Wait so you guys choose to sit and code something for a month instead of for a day? I don’t have that kinda time and I need to make money fast. What took me a month now takes me a day. AI has reduced my workload by 90%
Fuck manual typing and muscle memory and hundreds of hours infront of a screen. Only 0.43% of the population can write code. I am safe. I will never lose the ability and my services will always be needed.
At the rate that ppl are now developing programs you WILL be left in the dark ages typing everything manually. I have a wife to please and adventures that await.

Which doesn’t include you.
I will never lose the ability and my services will always be needed.
You are a highly, highly specialized, but also simultaneously low skilled worker who can only work with a very specific set of services, which are all paygated by vendors, who will immediately jack the fuck up out of their pricing as soon as they are able.
You are delusional.
Even in some hyper dystopia where all coding is outsourced to an AI, all you are is a prompt generator.
Do you think an AI that can write inefficient code… cannot write prompts?
You are a loon.

Learn how to code. It’s pretty rewarding.

He’s kinda right. You would be a fool not to use AI now and again. No, I do NOT mean vibe coding, that’s a fucking joke. ChatGPT (only one I’ve used) got me around a couple of sticky points when I was last scripting with PowerShell.
If you’re stuck on a thing, why not see what an LLM will spit out? Last time I tried that it came with a non-working script, of course, but I picked some useful bits out and wrapped up quickly. Learned a new path I hadn’t known or considered! From what I gathered reading Slack, our devs were using it in that manner. Nobody was dumb enough to trust the output, but again, AI can often get you over a hump.
All these stories we see about AI making coding take longer are about dipshits that lean on it too hard without actually knowing what they’re doing, or naively trusting the output, or heaven-for-fucking-fend, both.
Yes, you still have to be able to actually write code. No, it won’t replace developers. However, if AI can speed up a devs work, and it looks like it can, we’ll need fewer devs.

So many people completely miss the mark when it comes to AI and coding. It’s great for code reviews on code you wrote yourself, and it can be handy when you’re developing code for a domain you don’t have much experience in.
What it is not good for is writing code on its own. Not if you want your code to be efficient, or performant, work correctly, or even compile.

You missed ‘secure’ out of that list. Vibe coding is tantamount to communism, the way that everyone who uses it ends up publicly owned.
