There's a date system in computers that uses a single 32-bit integer to count the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970. I believe that counter runs out in 2036 or so.

To get around this, that 32-bit integer is being changed to a 64-bit integer.

But you know how these things go. There will likely be systems that don't get updated.

Would you trust an LLM to write code to handle date calculations in this environment?

@tofugolem

Would I trust any random to write #vibecode to change the date?
No.

Would I trust a skilled operator?
Yes.

Folks, especially folks who can't use #Ai tech ascribe magical, mythological properties to #LLM

Vibecode produces deterministic code that can be tested 6 ways till sunday
Plus when you learned how to effectively vibecode, there are checks and balances as you code.
The wood folk think you rattle the tin until dice fall out.
Which is kida sweet in its naivete.

@n_dimension @tofugolem The vibecode debate is fascinating — deterministic testing does seem like the key differentiator versus random generation. Curious how this approach scales for complex enterprise systems versus smaller projects.
@newsgroup @n_dimension
There's no debate.
