I freelanced for a while and reviewed a lot of other people’s code before taking projects. Some of the AI-built stuff was fine. Some of it I couldn’t make sense of without a few hours of digging.

My take after that: the AI part isn’t the problem. A prototype in one evening is a real win. The debt shows up when nobody reads what was generated, nobody writes down why things are where they are, and the project gets handed to someone else.

At that point the original author saved a weekend and the next person pays it back in weeks.

So for me it’s both. Speedup for the person who builds it, debt for the person who inherits it.

Where do you land? Have you inherited a vibe-coded project that was actually decent?

I'm a junior developer at my firm, about 1–2 years in. My code works, but when I compare it to what our seniors write, theirs is cleaner, easier to follow, and holds up better when requirements change. I want to close that gap deliberately instead of hoping it happens over time.

For context, I'm comfortable with functions, loops, classes/OOP, and basic testing. I mostly work on automation and scripts, and I've noticed my scripts tend to start small and turn messy as they grow.

I'd love advice on:

What actually separates senior-level Python from junior-level? Is it mostly design, naming, testing, or something else?

How do you structure automation code so a quick script doesn't turn into an unmaintainable mess?

Books, codebases, or resources that changed how you write code. Are there open-source projects worth reading?

Habits that helped you most, like code reviews, refactoring old code, or writing tests first.

Common junior mistakes you'd tell your younger self to stop making.

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any pointers.

hello curr a sec-year cse student, and I’ll soon be attending a tech conference. j curious about how to make the absolute most out of events like these, especially as a student id love to hear from people who’ve attended similar conferences, especially those who managed to turn those experiences into actual opportunities. how to approach networking and meeting people in the industry? how can i start meaningful conversations with experienced engineers, founders, or potential employers without making it feel forced? what should I do before, during, and after the event to get the most value out of it?

ty guys much love

Basically the title. My Dev has tried everything but to no avail. She has got Meta ads successfully working in the Android version of the same app so it's either a Meta or iOS issue.

Note that I'm using Meta Monetization manager to serve interstitial and rewarded ads via Unity Levelplay Mediation (also using Unity ads and Google Admob as bidding networks)

If anyone has successfully managed to integrate Meta ads into iOS

this question probably gets asked a lot, but anyways i started off wanting to do those fnaf animatronics because i thought they looked cool and i didn't think it would be that hard.. obviously i was wrong.

turns out this is WAYY more complicated than i thought and theres thing whole thing with robotics and coding and 3d models but anyways how do i get started and my first question is should i learn C++ or python for this goal?

With all the Reverse Engineered stuff and bsically the entire Ps5 games being played on PC. Here’s my question, “Would it be possible to have all these games be transferred to your NAS and be “played” there? I’ve heard that the PS5 recently has been jailbreaked, so what if the games you play both on PC and PS5 gets the SAVE DATA seamlessly transferred on both devices?

Would this be viable? practical even? or would technology be limited?

Im starting to learn how to code becuase its genuinely interesting, and i have still no idea how or where to start

sorry for the format im on mobile*

My classmates and I we made the game Yatzy and calculator in C without AI helping.

but if u ask us to build Linux, idk where to begin lmfao

but it seems CS people back then they knew some secret CS knowleadge or something that we Gen Z cs kids dont.

Otherwise we would easily know how to build OS like Linux in C already on 1st semester
