Why nobody talks about code debt with all those "vibe" coding?

Honest question, not criticizing anyone. I would like to hear more from people who use and don't use vibe coding tools, so #BoostsWelcome.

I personally don't use any AI tools, but I read code of people who use it. It's really so messed up. A lot of deprecated things, unwanted imports, water is wet comments, unnecessary code complexity.

Do people think they will just keep "vibing" instead of having a clean state?

Got a question someone posed for a tutorial which has me stumped. Come across this one
@FediTips?

"Is there a way to reply to a PeerTube comment using a Masto account on a user that you were not following when the video was published?"

Basically, if you come across a comment on an old PeerTube video, how do you reply without creating an account on that instance?

I've been looking for extensions and PeerTube plugins without finding anything.

Fediverse, can you help? I'm growing weary of constantly fighting this fight in my campaign groups and seeking other effective articles and resources to tackle antifascists' justifications for remaining on Twitter and such because "we must go where people are." You can call it a Nazi bar, but their counter is "a bunch of us are still on there and we aren't Nazis." Sigh. Thanks in advance! #AskMastodon #AskFedi #Fediverse #FediPact #FuckElon #FuckZuckerberg @fedizine

I’m thinking of using change scores in regression trees to probe why some people are insulated from having a rebound of anxiety/ depression symptoms whilst others are not, given alcohol’s effects as a depressant. I typically wouldn’t use change scores (i.e. measure at follow-up subtracted from baseline), but this seems like an appropriate use. I’m curious if anyone has experience of using change scores in this sort of context? This would be my first foray into Machine Learning! #Academia #AcademicChatter #AskFedi

Alright fedi, strap in! I'm mid-brainstorm and I'm bringing you along for the ride 🌪️

I'm considering #hiring someone to help with client lead gen for my business - and while I know a *lot* about recruiting, i know very little about #marketing.

The target clients would be founders/c-suite teams of startups who have recently raised VC funding and usually end up with a lot of hiring to do as part of that agreement.

Anyone have suggestions on what this sort of arrangement might look like? Thinking it would definitely be part-time, likely hourly with something of a finder's fee if their leads pan out?

I'm also wondering if something like this would be good for a marketing student? They could turn it in to a use case/internship for their coursework/future interviews and also make money (which never hurts!).

So I guess I don't know what I'm asking... maybe any of the below:

* What would you call this kind of work?
* What kind of person should I be looking for?
* What metrics should someone have/what rates of success should I expect?
* What questions (if any) could I add to my interview to tell if someone is full of bullshit?
* What would be a going/fair rate and comp structure?

Anyway... thanks for coming to my brain dump!

Fuck. Ho appena scoperto che La Corona di Ghiaccio (Wintersmith) di #GNUTerryPratchett non è disponibile in ebook.

Qualcuno ha un consiglio rapidissimo su un libro in italiano*, ebook, che faccia *ridere* delle persone di 7 anni e che non abbia niente a che fare con nazi-TERF assortite?

* andrebbe bene anche tedesco ma la mia pronuncia è umiliante e quindi non posso leggerlo alle suddette persone
