Not a spanish speaker but isn’t ‘nada’ also swim, as in a command to?

Thanks for answering. I don’t self host it but am interested. It’s still a company that i entrust to store highly sensitive data with, hence my interest in self hosting. Usually folks promote self hosting, so i was curious about your comment to not. Agree, that’s not something to consider lightly.

Why not self host?

If I’m the only one doing it then I’d prefer to stick with sqlite. But the reality is that everyone I work with does these kinds of things in excel, and it’s a shitshow. Yes, u could say ‘don’t blame the tool’, but it’s ms shoving it down our throats and they could’ve done much better with the time they had.

I get that. But it’s a case that’s just so incredibly common. Tagging/categorization. We end up with multiple columns like ‘cat 1’, ‘cat 2’, etc. Or doing pivot tables. I guess to me there’s pretty much always something that can do the job better, but the reality is that in the corporate setting I operate in everybody uses Excel.

Excel is such an incredible piece of shit. There’s many reasons to hate it for me, but what i hate the most is not being able to do relationships in any meaningful way. So often i need to have one to many relationships and this garbage makes it impossible. Data consistency? Nope. Opening a csv? Fuck you! Why the fuck are there online tools that are better at this shit? You had 40 years ffs. No amount of AI is going to fix this turd. God I hate Excel.

Dankjewel.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. When you arrive to someone’s birthday it’s common to go around, shake everyone’s hand and congratulate them (with Rita’s birthday). Or just do a wave when you enter and collectively congratulate everybody.

Congratulate everyone with someone else’s birthday. Netherlands.

For the first time ever I did some vibe coding this week. I needed what amounts to putting a file in a folder and watch until a file in another folder appears, with a monitoring utility.

I was very impressed with the definition phase. It was a back and forth about the spec until it was what I wanted. I then let it built.

This was quite interesting. It set up a scaffold, wrote tests and ran the tests, fixing errors as it went, then went on to finalize the app. Magic.

Finally it was done, so I go in to play with it. Riddled with bugs. Try to get it to fix them. More bugs. End to end spend a morning doing all this until I gave up and manually wrote what I need in about an hour.

Conclusion: Vibe coding is a complete waste of time. Worse: in the wrong hands it is dangerous. You need to be a pretty damn good programmer to assess the output, and if you are, why the fuck would you use it in this manner?

It reminds me a bit about the no-code/low-code evangelism of some years ago. To the novice it looks magical and a world of possibilities, and the road to riches. But in reality you can only use those things if you have decent programming skills, otherwise it’s a path nowhere.

Need a quick demo? Sure, this might help the novice. Want something for production? Get a professional.
