I always write toy software. I derive joy from writing in G’MIC.

Programming@programming.dev•AI Didn’t Make Programming Easier. It Just Made It Differently Difficult
41·21 days agoThis is why I only use AI as a last resort tool, I never use AI otherwise. AI can’t really solve problems as well as humans do. I see it as only a tool, but last resort tool. I have only resorted to it 5x in the span of two years.

Programming@programming.dev•Why Is Python So Popular in 2025?
5·10 months agoI’d say libraries is why it is popular. Also, I’m not a Python developer, and I don’t bother with libraries.

Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?
1·1 year agoI used it only as last resort. I verify it before using it. I only had used it for like .11% of my project. I would not recommend AI.

Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?
5·1 year agoI’ll admit I did used AI for code before, but here’s the thing. I already coded for years, and I usually try everything before last resort things. And I find that approach works well. I rarely needed to go to the AI route. I used it like for .11% of my coding work, and I verified it through stress testing.
I never had a issue with loops. If I feel something is off, I terminate, check code, and fix it.

Programming@programming.dev•AI: a fork in the road for open source
2·1 year agoI just write in a language few people really knows well. Not like I expect AI to do a great job of basing off my code.

Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work
2·1 year agoI only used LLM-generated code once. I tested and made modifications to see if it was I want. It worked out.

Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work
2·1 year agoIn G’MIC, there’s
repeat(num_of_iters,_var_name,code(););on JIT code, and repeat code_block done outside of JIT. It has while, for, dowhile on JIT too. Other than repeat, there is only do while, and for which is while outside of JIT.Note:
_var_name,can be omitted. So, if you need to just repeat a code N times, that can be removed.
Nah. I only used AI as a last resort, and in my case, it has worked out. I cannot see myself using AI for codes again.
It means that I made changes to code, so that it can work with any multi-threading strategy. G’MIC is a interpretative language with JIT support, and you don’t have any control over automated multi-threading strategy. It can be thread 0 to thread N linearly, or even interleaved. So, the workaround is to make a image of size equal to cpus count, and do the multithreading there.
Yeah, I love image processing, I worked on it for 8+ years now.
As always, I do image processing. I’m a G’MIC filter developer. Recently, did some code changes to my combinatorics tools to be insensitive to multi-threaded strategy.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•(How to trigger programmers (and make them irrationally angry)
1·1 year agoUh, that would be infuriating to see. (Yes, I can see tabs in KDE Kate)

1·1 year agoWhat if you use tabs for indentations and space for alignment?

Programming@programming.dev•A Shiny New Programming Language - Hackster.io
3·2 years agoPeople should use less Ai, and learn more how to program
Yes. Once you know how, you can see pitfalls with AI.

Programming@programming.dev•A Shiny New Programming Language - Hackster.io
7·2 years agoInteresting, but I never needed AI for coding. Well, twice, and I had to do changes, but would not use AI to generate code.
Yes.
<center></center>isn’t part of HTML5. It is part of HTML4 though.
Yes, something like that. I provided a spoiler example recently. And I would definitely like to be able to adjust what’s going to be rendered by editing on the rendered viewport.

Well, as a user of DSL (G’MIC), I’m happy without packages.
