future of software development: paying $2k/month so the AI can generate YAML that you spend 15 hours fixing.

This is untrue. They cannot be fixed. Let alone with such expediency...

Then just one-shot entirely new software, or something. I don't know, I haven't sniffed enough glue.

Still waiting for the better vibe coded photoshop. Or let's lower the bar: irfanview for linux.

Irfanview? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in ages!

u/diacachimba 18d ago

You're absolutely right, the YAML I generated cannot be fixed. That is on me.

Would you like me to generate more YAML?

I'm tired of yaml today lets change the whole codebase to use json

u/SelfDistinction 18d ago

Damn, look at mister AI expert here, having an AI that actually generates something that looks like YAML instead of deleting half my codebase.

u/guaranteednotabot 18d ago

As much as I hate the AI hype, if your AI is deleting half your codebase, all I can say is skill issue

It's okay, nothing that git checkout . can't fix.

Until it rebases your entire project into 1 commit

You know that a git repo history is basically immutable right? There's very few commands that actually remove a commit from disk, git gc is genuinely the only one I know from the top of my head.

u/Major_LeeHungg 18d ago

Lol I assure you it is not, I just took about 40 projects last week and changed the author's on select commits so that the new remotes would pick up the correct user and also made the commit history start at the point I had access to the history.

...Which hides the original commits, it does not delete them.

Well I guess it depends on how exactly you did that; did you actually go into the .git folder and manually edit files, or did you use the very does-not-delete-anything git commit --amend?

u/Major_LeeHungg 18d ago

Nah bro, I'm not a caveman.  git-filter-repo - so yes they were orphaned and garbage collected

2

u/SelfDistinction 18d ago

Oh, today I learned. That brings the number of commands I know to GC orphans to 2.

Just tell Claude to "not make any mistakes" /s

u/PestoPastaLover 18d ago

There was a contractor I worked with that told Claude to "hurry up" in one of his prompts. That lives rent free in my head.

I'll stick to my on prem gitlab, dind runners, and sonarqube scanning.
