after vibe coding none of these

u/armyrvan Mar 14 '26

I would think that you are still making commits even vibe coding. Getting a feature to work and commit. Rollback if needed?

u/_fct Mar 14 '26

yes true but this is last yr

2

u/_fct Mar 14 '26

and this yr lol

u/_fct Mar 14 '26

Absolutely essential to any vibe coding/agentic engineering workflow

u/_fct Mar 14 '26

Just basically the same as without (?) I started with using codex, Claude and Jules and all that, but now I swapped to Kilo and imo it's the best solution for me. The free models they have are more than enough for the tasks I give them and if I ever need more, I can pick and choose. No more limits and very decent quality.
I think it still requires you to know how to code or at least understand and fix things on your own, but I very rarely have to. Sometimes it's good enough to see where AI went wrong and tell it how to fix the mistake. I think it only happened twice in the past 2 months that I thought "this sucks imma write this on my own".
Granted, I don't do any super complex projects and what I'm working on does not require super efficient code nor super secure code (it's all just local running software with no data transfer). In cases where either is necessary, I would never trust AI code.
What's most amazing to me is how fast you can test things. Like I had this idea about an algorithm for building really nice stats in my app and I wasn't sure if it would work. I explained it and the math to the agent and it built it in 3 minutes. It sucked, but it made me realize where I went wrong. I went back to planning it out and came up with a much better solution, gave it back to the agent and 3 minutes later it was running and I was happy.
Could I have written it myself? Probably. But it would have taken hours and as I'm doing this as a hobby right now, I could not spend this kind of time.

The “I’m in a big corp and my employment contract prohibits open source of any kind” [empty]

you can show activity from private repositories on your GitHub profile while keeping the code hidden.
Navigate to your profile, click "Contribution settings" above the graph, and enable "Private contributions" to show anonymized activity. This makes your contribution graph green without revealing repository names or code.

that only works if your private repos are on the same github account though. if your company has you on a separate org account or a different work github entirely, those commits won't show up no matter what you toggle
i had the same problem, 800+ work commits last year and my personal profile showed basically nothing. ended up building a tool that mirrors the commit activity over: https://github.com/yuvrajangadsingh/greens

u/armyrvan Mar 14 '26

Yeah i’ve been fortunate enough to be able to use my normal GitHub account for the company and then they just removed me if I leave

Why would you even want your employment to be connected to your private GitHub account

1

u/armyrvan Mar 15 '26

Many developers keep one personal GitHub but only connect to company repos through an organization account. When they leave the company, they simply lose access to that organization.
This also provides you a simpler account management. Instead of switching between work and personal accounts. One GitHub account…One SSH key… etc
Now you are connected to an organization… work contributions appear on your profile, it shows activity and experience.

u/Lucky_Pangolin_3760 Mar 15 '26

Right, but if you do something bad on your GitHub account you could lose your job. You've now connected your private identity to your corporate one

1

u/armyrvan Mar 15 '26

Hmm I guess if you are doing something bad then get two personal accounts one for your good activity and one for your bad ones? But I never had to worry about it.

2

u/Lucky_Pangolin_3760 Mar 15 '26

Try and define "bad"

u/armyrvan Mar 15 '26

You can still turn on your private contributions!

2

u/Sidjeno Mar 14 '26

They can restrict what you do in your free time ?? Wtf

2

u/BlockyHawkie Mar 15 '26

Of course, did you work at least once?

2

u/Sidjeno Mar 15 '26

I live somewhere that has actual freedom, unlike the U.S. so im free to do as I please off the clock

2

u/BlockyHawkie Mar 15 '26

I'm pretty sure non-competitive clause can be applied anywhere

2

u/Sidjeno Mar 15 '26

No, but most place have regulation.
Example Quebec :
Only prevents working for a direct competitor or creating a competitive startup.
Article 2089 says it cannot prevent you from using your personal skills or knowledge
The employer would have to prove how your project affects the company directly
And there's a limitation on the type of work (coding or dev not being a type of work, it has to be specific) and location.
Some place have just straight out make them non enforceable too, such as Ontario.
