Yah, dry wit isn’t going to track well on Lemmy.

I don’t see that it increases the costs. I’ve written software and PMd other software builds in a previous life. Software has bugs and either I fix it slowly because I have to wait for winter to have time, or the AI does it while I drive a tractor for a couple bucks in tokens. AI can architect fine now and if you use your head, you can cross-check the codebase to ease maintenance with other LLMs, then come in and give it a final QA yourself.

I have a bugtracker I build into any software I build, an agent watches for new entries by users and does some preliminary work before bringing it to my attention and then every day I get a report that I can say what gets worked on while I have coffee. Honestly, I don’t care if the agent decides to refactor the whole mary-anne, it pings me perioidically in Matrix and I steer it around like I do my hired men asking which field to cultivate next.

At this point I have almost entirely vibe-coded software that’s been dogfooded for almost 2 years that works great and massively improves our operation. And I have a dozen other ideas ready for me to give some attention to in order to get them off the ground. It’s an exciting time. I love it.

I’ve rebuilt a few SaaS projects that I use so it’s under my control. Might not have all the bells and whistles, but it aligns with my needs better.

I rebuilt a simple Playstore task app into a multiuser fleet maintenance app for the farm. I’m not putting it in the wild, I don’t need that headache. I build it exactly for our needs and I don’t need to have to deal with users I can’t tell to fuck off to their faces when they get snotty about a bug.

But overall, this kneejerk “everything AI makes is broken” bullshit is starting to get to me. It’s pretty obvious these people either haven’t used it in the last year or so, or don’t know how to. Or they’re just performing for the internet, and actually use it all the time. I tend to think the latter.

It’s all part of the grift: next thing he’ll be talking about how the strait is open again after a week of stoking the fire. Shares will be traded, options will be optioned, the kids get richer and nobody will be held accountable for corruption.

I have the parts together for converting an older Ryobi cordless. Couple of DC motors and a Beaglebone Y-AI for the realtime RF5 controllers along with an ardusimple rtk gps. That might end up being a winter project.

I’ve built a self driving GPS for a tractor so this shouldn’t be too much of a lift.

Goddamn HughesNet. I had vehicle dealerships on that fucking piece of shit for their parts system and payroll. What a horrible service, for thousands of dollars a month.

Couldn’t win even with cheating.

Maybe if they’d just driven into the stadium with a truckload of gold and threw it at the Belgian players, that would have worked. Or just given Infantino a cheque on the midfield and skipped that whole “playing the game” thing and been awarded the win.

Or maybe Papa Trump could have bombed Belgium into the stone age during the game, that might have distracted them enough to lose to the sad little crew that the US fielded.

The fact that they didn’t bench whatsisname anyway speaks to the lack of character of that team and it’s management, as well as the player himself.

Subverting democracy to the bitter end.

Rest in piss, you evil turtle.

I keep trying to use these, install and configure them, then never touch them again. I run across them when I’m roaming around on my one of my docker servers a year later and nuke them.

I’d love to find something that sticks, though. Hasn’t happened yet.

Remain indoors.

How did you get a picture of my truck dash?
