I tried Vibe coding in BASIC and it didn't go well

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2025-07-16 10:14:42

With the rise of LLM systems (or “AI” as they are annoyingly called), the term “vibe coding” is all the rage recently. Vibe coding is when you rely almost entirely on these “AI” system to write your code for you via a series of drawn-out conversations. Putting on my cranky old man hat, I find most of it rather frustrating. Now I’m not some retro-sycophant who refuses to use modern tools.

The borrowchecker is what I like the least about Rust

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-20 00:27:50

Written 2025-07-18 Among the 2010's cohort of programming languages, Rust is probably the most widely lauded. The main selling point of Rust is that it manages to combine speed and low-level control with a high level of bug-resistance, more commonly referred to as safety. The main innovation of Rust - really, its claim to fame - is its borrowchecker: the part of its compiler that enforces Rust's ownership rules and thereby allows Rust to achieve all the memory safety that garbage collected lan

When it came to a game that epitomized joy and catharsis in equal measure, Nintendo’s own Pro device proved a leading contender as best all-around, but not for the reasons you may think.
