I wanted to edit my Ghostty themes but found out a lot of the colors are in #hexadecimal notation. I like #rrggbb percentage style colors (b/c they are easy to tweak by hand) and I couldn’t find an online color picker that would output that format, so I used deepseek (free) & now have a scrappy ass one w Python & Tkinter completely via “vibe” coding (I call it Clyde Color Picker. It’s adorable).
Pretty awesome when you’re just some dumbass who needs a very specific tool and not trying to fleece people.
Lol what a gimp
I’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”
Then proceed to do something even worse.
Or when you say there’s something wrong and the new version is just the same with comments
Imagine needing to understand a thing to build something. /s
Just speak the incantation of motive energy and light the incense to soothe the machine spirit.
This cannot NOT be satire, come on. It’s too fucking funny
I don’t think it’s satire. Miami has become a mecca for crypto bros and “tech” fraudsters.
Why do those fish always pose with some dude holding them?
Ever watched a fish stand up?
They need to be held.
Don’t we all really?
It’s a child, that fish just wants to look bigger
He probably paid some fishing tourist shop to get him to just the right place so he could hook it and pull it in. That pic cost him money, and it’s really important to him.
Bet you $1,000 the credentials are stored in plain text.
Not just plain text, but hard coded.
On the frontend.
Having a backend is bloat. I do all my DB transactions straight from the frontend
Obviously hand coded. After all, he just discovered that there are people, or more probably bots, who will use open resources for their own uses.
Classic vibe coder things.
I’ve heard that phrase a handful of times now and it’s already making my eye twitch. Though I don’t think it’s meant to be complimentary.
I’ve never seen an LLM response be cavalier with credentials.
Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.

What are they, Sony?
Can I get this emotion bottled? I want to experience it at full strength later
Just hold your phone over it. You’ll feel a tingly sensation in your intestines, but be not afraid, you just got the emotion bottled.
I want it powdered so I can snort it.
I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.
It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil
Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.
Lol, I’m surprised it only took two days.
2 days for him to realize something wrong
I’m surprised it took two whole days :p
F around and find out
If I were
