grillermo··on No More Code Reviews: Lights-Out Codebases Ahead
I’m working as contractor on a codebase that’s vibe coded. It’s been awful trying to understand it, it has all the sloppy things you can imagine. I think i’ll give up trying to get my head around and just double down on letting AI fix issues and implement solutions. This piece convinced me

grillermo··on Intermittent fasting doesn’t help you lose weight, UCSF study suggests
I lost 10 kg after two months of doing 18 hour periods of fasting.

I’ve tried other diets and this one has been the only maintainable one. My body does not feel hunger at night anymore.

The success of going for long streaks of days has greatly motivated me of eating healthier, with less carbs, no snacking and more water.

So probably the fasting itself was not the direct but indirect cause of the lost.

I sometimes do eat at night, socially, but i always find it easy to go back to the fasting.

I think this idea makes the mistake of thinking that people in third world countries have the entrepreneurship drive that exists in the US, in other words its making the mistake of thinking "everybody thinks like us Americans because we rock so much, so lets help them be more like us!" We'll see how this experiment turns out.
