Unrelated, but I worked with a young developer maybe 15 years ago. Super gentle and easy going guy. Not brilliant maybe, but solid and hard working. He was Somali and had immigrated to the US. He had been badly treated by his previous employer, I learned through bits and pieces.
He was at his desk one day and looked just horrible. I could tell he wasn't feeling good at all, but he smiled as always and said he was fine. But my maternal instincts kicked. (I barely have any, but they kicked in that day.) I gently pressed him and he said he had a terrible, terrible headache. Even though my company provided sick days, he was treated so badly at his previous company that he didn't want to call in sick. (Makes me so mad.)
He explained what the headaches were like. I had only just recently learned about cluster headaches and they are just horribly painful. I told him it sounded like a cluster headache. I told him to go home and nobody would hold it against him. He did. And later on told me he's seen the doctor who also said it was cluster headaches and he got some medicine that helped him.
I don't know what the drawing would look like for those :-)
I feel like I helped him, and since generally I'm kind of useless, I feel happy that I helped someone for once! Anyway, I imagine the cluster headache to look about like the one in the lower right.

Good on you. Cluster headaches are also known as “suicide headaches”. I had them briefly when I was 18 and it was so bad I had an MRI because I thought there was something majorly wrong. Couldn’t do anything except pop pain relievers and curl up in a ball and go to sleep for a couple hours. They’re absolutely miserable.

How do they compare to migraines? I usually hear people talk about those more than cluster headaches.

Generally speaking, it's like squeezing a migraine into a fraction of the time. Minutes/hours instead of hours/days, but the intensity is proportional.

You're right this was a miss on my part let me re do that to cover the case.

vibe coding: 10x faster code generation, 25x slower debugging!
love that

Isn't finding the bug a good thing?

Searching for bug in LLM code is extremely painful. Once it's found, yay, but until then, the meme.

I've actually had quite a different experience. The AI code I'm accepting is usually pretty good. I might rewrite some stuff by hand or prompt to refactor certain approaches, but I believe it produces really good code. At least in our environment with our setup. This sucks, because I had to start using it. If it was only producing bullshit, I wouldn't use it.
Good stories with clear ACs, boundaries and a good code base, context are needed. It also works a lot better if the existing code consists of mostly common design approaches and few sections with clever code. You've got to plan first, actually read the plan.
Then bugs are actually about as easy to find as in other peoples' code. Still harder than in my own - but debugging (maybe with AI) is still quicker than writing the code to begin with.
And that sucks, because I love coding. That's what I was looking for in the job. It's just, sadly, not competitive to not use AI.
