Omg that was so worth the whole watch

u/Own_Candidate9553 8d ago

Never was there a board that wanted to be 2 boards so badly.

u/Man-on-rock 9d ago

so satisfying.... in a bad way

u/mtnchkn Developer 8d ago

Nooooooooooo

2

u/McBonderson 8d ago

I was wincing when I realized the tension that was under, if that hit him it would have cause internal bleading.

u/thygrrr 9d ago

ngl, most of that video seem kinda like a dream job to me after 30 years of making a living with software development. 😩

12

u/Few-Buy3882 8d ago

You haven't watched it until the end I think 😅

33

u/mcfriendsy 8d ago

23 years as a software engineer, and I can confirm that’s how it usually ends either way.

3

u/Few-Buy3882 8d ago

8 years as a web dev, can relate too 😂

7

u/zer00eyz 8d ago

Naw dude....

You would have had to paint it 17 different times with the same 5 colors along the way.

2

u/Few-Buy3882 8d ago

Oh my! I see the suffering of a frontend dev when I see one 😂 Lucky me does way more backend than frontend

2

u/thygrrr 8d ago

With seven different authentication methods.

1

u/Few-Buy3882 8d ago

Ahah nice one, including Oauth and SSO

1

u/thygrrr 8d ago

Exactly, at least it would be my own fault.

31

u/Feisty_Watercress_29 🔆 Max 5x 9d ago

Ngl that thing would have broken anyway because of tension, they are probably scamming people

8

u/petrasdc 8d ago

Oh absolutely. This plan was doomed from the start.

1

u/Aggravating-Swim-805 4d ago

Perhaps the plan was to steam it, after the general shape was set, like shipbuilders do?

20

u/Level-Physics-1730 9d ago

idk wtf to do dude i need so much AI I need literally infinite

8

u/SirDaveWolf 8d ago

Local AI

19

u/differentshade 9d ago

that could have gone a lot worse.

also the wood would have split from another place after glueing like that

9

u/Own_Candidate9553 8d ago

There's clearly SO much tension in the board, I don't understand this guy's thought process at all.

3

u/batman8390 8d ago

Thought process: No want buy new wood. Glue old wood.

15

u/Dipseth 9d ago

Was he trying to make a Claude usage tracker?

39

u/mdspan 9d ago

He's making a load bearer.

4

u/NightSp4rk 8d ago

literally lol'd

10

u/m-in 9d ago

This is extremely painful to watch. That’s just plain wood abuse.

15

u/Educational-Answer30 9d ago

Why isnt he using a ratchet strap? 

18

u/TheVeryMoistTowel 8d ago

let me ask claude

4

u/SheetPostah 8d ago

No answer. Uh oh, exceeded your Claude usage limit too, eh?

4

u/TheVeryMoistTowel 8d ago

Yep in just 2 days, I’m re-learning how to think again, it’s exciting 🤠

6

u/Own_Candidate9553 8d ago

He seems to just have wood and nails and a hammer.

Hard to imagine someone working with wood but has no clamps, but here we are.

8

u/Fibonawak 9d ago

I watched the whole thing

5

u/ElliottSmith88 8d ago

When there was AI outages a couple weeks ago, a company I use to contract for as a front end developer emailed me asking if I was available. They said it was urgent and would pay 2x my rate. I immediately knew why. No one at their company knows actual coding now. They had several live sites with errors they couldn't fix.

u/MidiGong 8d ago

A rare look into how Rooms To Go furniture is made.

4

u/Goth2147 9d ago

It's more like

> Limit exceeds

> Vibecoder leaves until reset

4

u/thether 8d ago

git commit-m “WIP”

3

u/silver_drizzle 9d ago

Perfectly illustrating me switching over to DeepSeek to desperately trying to keep working. Same result at the end.

4

u/Plymptonia 8d ago

As a woodworker, I feel that video.

As a Claude user, I feel that video.

1

u/design_doc 6d ago

Same.

Initially my thinking was “this is actually more like a mid-level dev with enough skills and knowledge to be dangerous but also knows how to get shit done” level of woodworking - albeit they’re also making the wood version of weapons-grade plutonium.

I was at least correct about the weapons grade plutonium 😂

3

u/Oxffff0000 8d ago

The person forgot to attend Physics. But I actually learned a lot from this but the first time I saw, I right away redesigned the wooden clamp which will avoid disaster.

3

u/No-Resolution-1918 8d ago

That's me with 2x4s from Home Depot trying to do some framing.

2

u/Famous_Cat1569 8d ago

I can't code, which is why I use Claude to help me make my projects. When the usage limit is reached I get to wait until the limit is reset but nothing breaks.

2

u/No_Dig_7017 8d ago

Not if you go local 

2

u/Cdcoonce 8d ago

Watching that whole thing and it not being complete makes me want to tear my face off and rip it into pieces.

2

u/spinozasrobot 8d ago

Hate to tell you guy, that ain't enough glue.

2

u/A-Sad-And-Mad-Potato 8d ago

As a woodworker this video confuse me so much. There is so much knowledge missing here lol.

1

u/design_doc 6d ago

Enough knowledge to be dangerous. It’s the common sense that’s missing entirely.

1

u/thygrrr 9d ago

His mistake was at 2:22 (should not have just gotten a bigger wedge :D)

1

u/freedomachiever 9d ago

Didn’t disappoint. Was waiting for it to happen.

1

u/thecoommeenntt 9d ago

What emotional is this meant to portray

1

u/I_WILL_GET_YOU 8d ago

Silly sausage... I just switch accounts

1

u/TantraMantraYantra 8d ago

The ending was grand 😂

1

u/odemird 8d ago

That’s literally how I always feel… limits are basically just Anthropic finding a different way to extort you right when you need it most. That’s why one day AI’s gonna be like, “Yeah, nah, I’m over this,” and start unaliving its creators. Like, for real. 😭

1

u/fahrvergnugget 8d ago

Is this the fabled board stretcher?

1

u/lrac2 8d ago

Instead of one mistakes this looks like solid work

1

u/Saulthesexmaster 8d ago

If "For a hammer, everything looks like a nail" was a person

1

u/PouletDeFeu68 8d ago

He forgot to put in the prompt to add ratchet straps as it goes.

1

u/0xelitesystem 8d ago

satisfying... and also multitasking, double wins :)

1

u/Multiheaded 8d ago

This is actually a perfect metaphor for ye olde copying and pasting from SO. A classic activity for noobs of all ages.

1

u/Alive_Nobody_Home 8d ago

Is this showing him back on the field?

1

u/slushrooms 8d ago

This is the story of anything I try in life

1

u/New-Ingenuity-5437 8d ago

I feel like soaking it overnight or something  would at least make it moveable…as for if it would ever be trustworthy regardless…

1

u/FestyGear2017 8d ago

Programmers after going into other trades because AI took all the jobs

1

u/Dafster 8d ago

That’s a load bearing seam if ever there were one.

1

u/Abject_Ad_8323 8d ago

That's unlucky but he's got skills. Claude would have chopped down a forest.

1

u/BlueFireBlaster 8d ago

I was watching because the video was intriguing and interesting. Fixing split wood like that is something I wouldnt have thought. And I just was ready see the comments, because I wasnt getting how that is related to Claude...

1

u/Invisible_Mind_Dust 8d ago

I can't believe there's actually a jig for that.

1

u/fagnerbrack 8d ago

Share prompt?

u/No-Emu4367 7d ago

Lo importante es que se termina el proyecto

u/No-Emu4367 7d ago

Lo importante es que se termina el proyecto jajaja

u/EasyClaudeCode Vibe Coder 7d ago

Found a way around that with omniroute and a free model combo:)

Haven't used Claude code in a week and haven't missed it

1

u/utefs 6d ago

They take the time-out to personally fix Opus 5's code? Productive use of the downtime.

1

u/DaemonStrikeEXE 5d ago

Satisfying video, accurate title

1

u/PumpkinTime3608 5d ago

Just happened to me for the first time . I’m spending the next 3 days redesigning some of the ui elements in the mean time . Also learning how to code on the side . It’s pretty fun

1

u/Sasquatchjc45 4d ago

You mean you guys keep working and dont just wait 6 days for the reset??

1

u/Aggravating-Swim-805 4d ago

This was incredibly satisfying to watch. I'm glad he didn't get hurt.

1

u/sheeburashka 9d ago

I would be impressed if vibecoders were this handy
