Yeah I hope I am cautious enough. I use strict db models that were man written and have type checking and sanitation. That along with unit tests that cover everything I’ve been able to think of that can go right or wrong combined with the classic “obscurity===security” motto.
Of course there are always vectors one hasn’t thought of, but that goes for man made projects as well. If I decide to bring it live and scale up I’ll probably order a pen test.

I’ve been writing a slightly larger project with frontend, bff and backend and I need to take it in small batches so that I can catch when it misunderstands or outright does a piss job of implementing something. I’ve been focusing a lot on getting all the unit tests I need in place which makes me feel a bunch better.
The bigger and more complex the projects get, the harder it is for the LLM to keep stuff in context which means I’ll have to improve my chunking out smaller scoped implementations or start writing code myself I think.
All in all I feel pretty safe with my project and pleased with the agents work but I need to increase testing further before bringing anything live.
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 4 days ago:
You are completely correct, and to be honest I’ve tested commercial product features in prod as well on teams that have the capacity to handle it and make a living on it, unlike this maintainer.
I’m also experimenting heavily with vibe coding and I think it has many uses for a seasoned programmer while getting a lot of flak.
Of course there are issues and problems with it, but for me it had been helping out a lot.

For sure, the song of the hero who fixed the production bug is oft sang at meetings but the loser who prevented the bug to begin with gets no credit.

Classic “test in production” strategy, very solid!
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 5 days ago:
To be fair they would have needed to spend time testing the manual implementation as well.
The problem I see mainly is that even if this rolls out perfectly, the erratic and changing nature if llms still make it pointless as a proof of concept. Next time Claude might fuck up in a fringe way that’s not covered by unit tests and is missed by manual tests.
On the other hand I guess I’ve been guilty myself on numerous occasions to implement fringe bugs into production code, but at least I learn from it.

- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
Jeez you really hit a nerve here, with your pretty sane concept about sharing resources communally.
I guess some people really don’t like the word wasteful or something.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
Well yeah it is, but is most likely much harder to solve co-living like that in a way that’s acceptable for almost any people. Whereas what was suggested here is that people pool their resources and lend/rent to each other.
Nothing about forcing anything on anyone, and people who want to be able to have exactly the CPU they need at any given time would probably not be interested.
- Comment on Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals 2 weeks ago:
If anything this proves that the correlation between active gamer and competent gaming CEO might not be that strong with how awesome Xbox is currently.

If you have big hands consider a tenor. I had a concert for a long while until I tried a tenor and it get much better for me.
- Comment on Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I get that they created roguelite for games that are based on rng runs and has some sort of async progression and I think that has become a pretty practical genre to categorize a wide array of hands that share those traits.
But roguelike should be kept to games like nethack, pixel dungeon etc that share the basic concepts of rogue.
- Comment on "It's going to be a very long goodbye" - Peter Molyneux's last game will be Masters of Albion, but that's not necessarily as simple as it sounds 4 weeks ago:
I had a blast with populous and dungeon keeper. They’re not god given games with the best design ever but they’re good games with interesting quirks. The other two, not so much.
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 4 weeks ago:
Nothing phone has a pretty average repairability score, so I’d assume so.
- Comment on Kid Rock is the people version of an above ground pool 4 weeks ago:
That’s a wild assumption. Lenmy has a well documented API that wouldn’t pass on frontend-related things.
Making a client scrape the frontend seems like a lot of work for a worse result.

Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.
- Comment on New study: No-alcohol and low-alcohol beers, and dry pubs, are on the rise 1 month ago:
It’s like vegan meat substitutes.
Sure there are awesome vegan dishes and the substitutes taste worse than the real deal but it’s not wrong to want to interact with the culture you live in in a normalish manner.
I’ll have a af beer with my vegan hotdog and enjoy myself even though they are just substitutes.

I’m thinking the steam frame will open up pc gaming on arm completely and enable devices like this to go full power.
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 3 months ago:
Yeah you can. For us it worked because we focus on different parts and then meet up, discuss and give feedback or help.
But you need to do it with someone you get along well with.

Oops!

I recently started it with the caveat that I’m not allowed to pay without my brother. So he comes by once or twice per month and we go crazy for a few hours.
If I did it myself I’d lose my job.

Been oogling necesse. Would’ve loved couch co-op with the kids. On a scale of 1 to terraria, how much do you enjoy it?
- Comment on 4 months ago:
But then we have the indie devs that constantly praise each other, include in-game references to their inspirations or blog about what blast they’re having while playing a competitors game.
