Gooblebraion Ask HN: Share your vibe coded project

http://forum.philosofriends.com/

I wanted to try vibecoding, so I decided to make a 100% vibe coded project: a HN-clone forum just for philosophical topics/questions and articles

Gooblebraion Ask HN: What would you recommend a vibe coder learn about how all this works?

You mean well but this is not helpful advice.

Gooblebraion Why more companies are recognizing the benefits of keeping older employees

I always wonder how productivity is measured

It's definitely AI. There are many tell signs

Gooblebraion How I estimate work

So the PM must have the velocity of the team to be able to estimate timescales for the project, which is what they care about, and this velocity metric is only as good as the estimation of complexity points of a team?

> An experienced senior dev might tend to deliver 30 points per sprint

Seems a bit ironic that complexity doesn't measure time but then we are measuring how much complexity can someone deliver on average on a given time. Isn't complexity directly proportional to uncertainty factors, and therefore inversely proportional to confidence of time to completion?

Gooblebraion How I estimate work

"estimation is in points, not days" doesn't tell me anything. Is not like tasks have an intrinsic attribute that everyone can agree on (e.g. the sky is blue)

How are you estimating the points if not thinking about how hard the task is for you and how long is it going to take you?

And then another matter is that points do not correlate to who later takes that work. If you are 5 seniors and 3 juniors and average on a task being a 3, but the task falls to a junior, they will take longer as is expected for his experience.

Gooblebraion My first year in sales as technical founder

This was super useful. As a technical person willing to learn sales, the numbers that you showed at the different stages of the funnel shows that is all a numbers game and rejection is the norm. From 487 connections to 2 paid clients. Great post!

Gooblebraion I'm a laptop weirdo and that's why I like my new Framework 13

The only thing stopping me from buying one is that I heard the fan is quite loud. Is that still true?

Gooblebraion Ask HN: What would you do if you didn't work in tech?

If you are naturally good at something that capitalism doesn't reward, I'm afraid the prospect of life being better is not going to work that well

Gooblebraion You’re not burnt out, you’re existentially starving

I'm not the author. I just found the article, read it and found it interesting enough. I don't know who the guy is or even what he does.

Gooblebraion Ask HN: Who here is not working on web apps/server code?

Woooah. Impressive. Sounds like a very fulfilling and interesting job! Love anything that makes software integrate better or impact directly the physical world

Gooblebraion Ask HN: Who here is not working on web apps/server code?

Can you expand more on how the tools tie with the biological part? This is very interesting!

Ah, I was missing important context: https://saul.pw/mag/

Gooblebraion Mag Wealth (2024)

I might be dense today but I thought the upper arrow was like a "Level of wealth" thing. However here:

What does the ↑7 means? Later he starts using it in a context that I don't understand (e.g. > About 250,000 people (↑5.5))

Gooblebraion Ask HN: What's your solution to tech addiction?

Reasonable. You could get the answer of "being on the computer" by asking to the people that don't spend 20 years of their career on it
