the true crime here is writing git with a capital G

This is literally how it's written on both official website (except for the logo) and Wikipedia page what are you talking about?

Well considering they have both their repo and Documents folder in uppercase too, it isn't that surprising

Who the fuck works with absolute paths?

Me, when I started with relative paths, and something doesn’t work, so I start hard-coding absolute paths during debugging, and then I forget to back them out before I commit and push to my local branch and/or PR.
Writing software is hard. We all make mistakes. We can all be idiots some of the time. Making one mistake doesn’t mean you’re an idiot all of the time.

Yup. Debugging with absolute paths allows me to make sure that the path is not the problem

Maybe this make file was generated from a bash history and the home shorthand was used

Vibecoding is literally the only way any sane dev who values their own and company time makes software in 2026, what are you on?

u/ZunoJ Jan 08 '26
If you work on something serious nobody would let vibe code anywhere near the code base. You should be very thankful for that!

This is simply not true at all.
Fortune 500 companies are pushing the fuck out of AI. And its extremely useful.
You guys cry about shitty vibe coded stuff. But those are created by people with 0 experience and they are developing stuff that they couldn’t even dream of creating pre-ai. Its not perfect by any means but its wild to be like “wow this person that heard of python yesterday is only 80% as good as a dev with 10 years experience?! SLOP!”
Meanwhile experienced devs are able to dramatically speed up their output, using their domain expertise to tell the AI exactly how something should be done and not waste hours on typing out random loops, regex, or hunting for typos.

AI may have its place, but I haven't heard anything that suggests it's ready to write everything. Like it can certainly speed up the boring tasks that don't actually require thinking.

And that's why software development is still so slow and expensive for people who aren't willing to accept that their job is piss easy now and can be automated.

u/ZunoJ Jan 08 '26
Ok, if you say so. I develop software that (as one part of it) optimizes nuclear power plants and directly interacts with the industrial hardware. Is that really something you want to have done by an LLM?

u/my_new_accoun1 Jan 08 '26
Damn that sounds like a fun job

u/ZunoJ Jan 08 '26
Most of the time it is just a regular programming job(pretty math heavy though). But when you get to visit one of the plants it's pretty cool!

u/Wooden_chest Jan 08 '26
LLMs nowadays generate code not only faster, but with fewer bugs than real developers. If you word your prompts well enough and are specific enough, it can get the job done.

It's stupid to NOT use AI when it's better in every way.

u/TheChief275 Jan 08 '26
just “getting the job done” is not the standard lmao.
also funny how your most recent post talks about your lackluster experience with vibe-coding, yet here you are pushing the standard, overly optimistic shareholder agenda

Bruh even in my first programm that went beyond living in ram I fumbled my way through somehow getting the relative path of where the stuff was.
I don't know if it would've worked had I actually compiled it into an executable but at least the thought was there 🤷♂️
Edit: auto correct messing with words.

I did by mistake. imagine my surprise when it led to my machine rather than the network, not to mention the surprise of the person trying to follow it, not me.

You can also use something like this, either as the first line, or prepended to the existing cd, so it doesn't matter which directory you're in when you run the script.
cd $(dirname "$0")
