Everyone wishes they were better at art, the folks I look up to who put out amazing work all think they draw badly :)

Just going by what I see out there but if you can coach people to create cool stuff then yes that is entirely different. The additional concertn with slop on a blockchain is obviously the lax security

Feels like you're undermining the skill of AI coding. I'd say AI slop is undermining the value of ai coding because the last thing we want is more slop. Let's face it, 80% of folks using gen AI are because

I think something like 98% of the "I made this with a few prompts" folks bragging on LinkedIn never disclose their vibe coded apps either don't ship or don't have any users. There are only so

Hive is like any web based community, the issues and solutions have been discussed for a good couple of decades. People will always believe this time things are different ;) I have kind of given up on

I am a developer and I pay for all my own tools and have repeatedly over the years been told that nobody wants anything new without whale backing so how are vibe coded apps going to fare better? Seems

There is a great deal of risk involved, but also I see so many people on LinkedIn who one day brag about project A, then the next Project B, and then Project C, with nothing ever seeing the light of day

Yeah it wasn't that nostalgic for me but it has definitely upset a bunch of people :)

I'm writing for the new version :)

There are a lot of companies and developers who are totally fine with people conserving games but then you have others like Nintendo who are ruthless with legal threats and takedowns :(

I've a bunch of adapters for converting signals but the coax ones either needs mods or yeah an old tv, and even TVs with the input do not always tune in or hold signal any longer because they expect better

Totally, bad capacitors are a major source of retro computing woe right across the board. For your friend who would like to play old speccy games The Spectrum plug and play recreation is excellent, but

Old keyboards don't use modern switches but always work on similar principles, at the end of the day it is just making or breaking a connection. Tinkercad is lovely if you just want to bash something out,
