D is a programming language that has ALL the features. It has GC, it has Templates, it has Borrow Checker, it has Lazy Evaluation, it has Coroutines. Literally any unique Language feature you got in mind it probably has it. Does anybody know what it doesn't have?

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

Fuck simplicity, I love complexity.

This by the way is something that most serious Unity users know: everything is slow, GC is bad, and good C# on Mono essentially looks like C. But Unity doesn't apply that logic to its own code, apparently.

I’ve worked with Principal (IC8) engineers at Meta making $1,000,000+/year that only pushed a few dozen commits per half. So what did they do?
