I am convinced Rust haters are simply refusing to learn something new, consciously or not.

The danger of vibe coding is that the people doing it either don’t have the skills to or don’t think it’s importsnt to review the AI changes.

If you work with an AI and instead of taking time typing through boring tasks, take time reading through the changes, them there isn’t much of an issue. A skilled software engineer is capable of noticing logic errors in a code they read.

If the generated code is too unmecessarily complex to ensure its logic is okay, then scrap it.

I don’t use it in that way (only use JetBrains’ line completion AI) but I don’t see a problem if it is used that way.

However, if I review a code that was partly generated by AI and notice that the dev let through shitty code without review, the review will be salty.

Luckily, they don’t own any of Wikipedia’s content, and it’s all downloadable at anytime by anyone wanting to create a mirror.

I’m having a really hard time donating to wikipedia now that I’ve learned they are actually doing pretty well and don’t need donations as urgently as their invasive banners say.

Now, of course their main revenue stream is donations (not only, I don’t have the numbers but they sell commercial access to big tech through a for-profit company, Wikimedia Enterprise). But the whole guilt tripping strategy they’ve been using for a decade without actually needing it is disgusting.

I strongly recommend watching this 10min, sourced video on the topic from fern.

I’d rather donate to non profits that actually need it and yet don’t resort to these emotionally manipulating campaigns.
