T2: So what? Who cares about code anyway? Well, humans do. Specifically, the users of your app. Actually, let me be more precise: your users don't care about the code. They care about stability. The brain will endorse an app that just works. The brain will put you in agony when you're trying to send an email after an agent, let loose by some developer at your mail provider, decided that "position: sticky" is a trend that got reborn and the send button should definitely flex with it. And what's the most obvious way to achieve system stability in an application? Spoiler: it's not a good system prompt.

Vibe coding and badly applied agentic engineering (which almost everyone applies badly) slow your development down. Before this poor adoption wave, which big tech only accelerated, every second of thinking went into leveling up - like XP in video games. Slow, almost invisible, but over time it built people who could feel what code would do and where it would break before they wrote a single line. Now people vibe code the base of a project, then try to extend it by hand. In my experience, they almost always fail. You can't build manually on a fragile base that only survives contact with a machine: 200 hands patching every hole the second it opens. That doesn't mean the glass is sound. It means 200 stickers are covering the leaks. Too many holes, and you can guess what happens.

Vibe coding does make YOU faster. But not your team, and not your org. Every second saved writing code, a proper reviewer spends 10-20 checking the logic. And reviewers are usually senior, so the org eats the cost and the capacity. Why 10-20? A few reasons, trust among them. But the bigger one is flow. A human coding has it, an LLM doesn't. That gap produces junior-like errors, slow to request changes on and genuinely draining to hit, especially when the next PR from the same people carries the same ones. Requested changes aren't teaching anymore. They're the last gate before slop lands. And that gate is you. Despite what everyone says, it's not a language model problem. It's an attitude problem. Programmers are born to find shortcuts. Give them a machine that spits out CI-passing code, and eventually they'll lean on it constantly. My theory: more code lands on master now than before because reviewers are overwhelmed and burned out. Especially when it's vibe coded. Not that lines of code ever measured anything.

The whole saga of the last decade was basically Google saying to news publishers "nice traffic you have there, shame if something happened to it."

Opus 4.6 > 4.7 > 4.8. 4.8 is a pseudo-intellectual. Great for prototyping and vibe coding, terrible for everything else.

Just live the life. Improve constantly. The rest will come. Trial and error.

Typescript is not mature. Node is a kid with a terrible stdlib. Deno is [cannot read properties of undefined, tried reading 'opinion']

Also, you'll never see me tweet about political things here. This is just not the place.

Bun is a SAVIOR of the JavaScript language and ecosystem. Say whatever you want. I’ve been hating for years. And then I finally gave Bun another shot. Bun has batteries included - but on a whole other level. This is what you get in mature, well-designed ecosystems like Rust and Go. No bullshit. Quick and easy to use. Not 35 transpilers and bundlers. The only thing missing is a linter, but I'm sure it's coming. Please, make JavaScript opinionated and consistent. I’m so tired of this messy ecosystem.

To the new beginnings ✨

Today I finally understood what Cos() and Sin() functions are for.

From year to year my path leads me to C#. And every single time it makes me appreciate how simple and powerful this language is. Even if I don't always like how it looks, it makes me feel like I can trust my code.

Open source is the key. 🔑

Despite how beautiful each modern framework is, everyone has its sins. Unreal Engine 5 - How easy it is to create a 15fps game (Borderlands 4) Ableton Live - Absolutely 0 proper ways of introducing addons. Next.js - Disconnect between loading.jsx and how client fetches pages on demand. That said, I have finally introduced a progress bar for overtyped.vercel.app.

It has been a long time now. Time for the next big thing.

What you’re not changing, you’re choosing

hypothetically, how long can i survive if i replace all my food with calories from my gainer?

Actually now re-thinking my past week, I realize I've been sick for the past 5 days, not 2 - it just got progressively worse day after day, especially with me pushing the shit out of my body during workouts and cardio. Today, I feel almost fully recovered. Hopefully tomorrow it's go time.

Being sick is probably one of the most boring things ever. I can’t work, I can’t produce, I can’t go to gym, and everything just hurts and annoys me. Also, I’m confused on whether I’m tired and feeling sick or just lazy.

I once said: “Don’t take hate from someone you wouldn’t take an advice from” I believe everyone should try to live by this rule. Think about it.

Trying to hit 3400kcal is like trying to write a poem... with a 40kg dumbbell.

Big day tomorrow.

Very good joke, sadly wasn't written by me: "I've been a member at my local gym now for about 6 months. I've seen no changes to my shape or size at all. If this continues, next month I am going to the gym in person to see what the hell is going on!"

Also. "Music" section on overtyped.vercel.app just got like x5 times slower. I did implement range requests from scratch, but the main issue there is not with my code - it's (potentially) the shitty specs for hobby plan projects on Vercel. Time to migrate.

Squatting x1.5 bodyweight after 30 days of working out. Reality or Suicide Mission?

CACHE INVALIDATION IS NOT DARK MAGIC. (hyperlinks are though)

I thought that overtyped.vercel.app would be a website for my CV and a few articles written by me. Now it's simplified Twitter, Medium, Spotify and Apple Notes.

Sus.

Should we take the old classics, maybe?

I'm very surprised that in all of those years nobody cared to create a good high-level abstraction over Web's FormData interface. This thing makes me feel like I'm back in PHP-land.

And generally, it's not even about global events. Just general quality of life, random people, amount of events. Things feel saturated, even though they're meaningless.

2024 was weird.

I admit it, even though I'm on vacation, I couldn't keep myself from writing some C & NextJS code. Year 2026, I'll quit my job and start coding in C full time (mebe).

Seems like some people are actually reading this feed. Let me clarify - don’t expect high quality posts here. 10 rounds of cringe are ready and loaded.

Smaller gyms are nice when there are no people. Though in peak hours - it’s a nightmare.

There's something in the water.

There's something magical about Server Actions in Next.js. Something that would take me up to a day to architect and then another 4-7 hours to implement, now takes 2-3 hours in total. Of course, now it's hard to expose as API, but still....

People often say, "I want to be a great coder," "I wanna get jacked," or "Why is this taking so long to learn?". They’re just focused on the goal, not journey. If your life doesn’t depend on it, take your time. Otherwise, you'll look those precious vibes.
