Vibe coding silly Python projects.

Same-ish. I'm fluent in Perl, but whenever I write a web backend I use ChatGPT to help me cook the JavaScript needed by the front end. No way in hell I'm learning Javascript without a gun to my head.

Boy I hope you really, really enjoy debilitating security holes if you're using GPT to write your backend JS

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

I only do cosmetic stuff in JS. Anything that needs to be secure is handled by perl.

I just recently came across Jules, an autonomous coding agent by Google, and was impressed with its free access level. I dumped a whole directory full of haphazard Python scripts I've been accumulating over the years into it and asked it to refactor them into less of a mess and it did a remarkable job turning the folder into somewhat of an actual application. You can hook it up to your Github account too, if you want, and it'll submit its changes as a new branch.

Just bear in mind that it'll make mistakes, I did have to do a thorough debugging run to make sure everything still worked the same. But the amount of grunt work it saved me was huge.
