As someone who dislikes Python, I can’t say I agree. So, I will use Python, but I only use it for 3 lines of code snips to test before making codes on other languages.

Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?
1·9 months agoI used it only as last resort. I verify it before using it. I only had used it for like .11% of my project. I would not recommend AI.

Programming@programming.dev•If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?
5·9 months agoI’ll admit I did used AI for code before, but here’s the thing. I already coded for years, and I usually try everything before last resort things. And I find that approach works well. I rarely needed to go to the AI route. I used it like for .11% of my coding work, and I verified it through stress testing.
I never had a issue with loops. If I feel something is off, I terminate, check code, and fix it.

Python@programming.dev•Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()
21·10 months agoThis. I rarely boot up Python for the tasks I need to do, and if they are, they are one of the following:
- Assistant code for other coding language
- Throwaway script
- Prototype before using a faster language

Programming@programming.dev•AI: a fork in the road for open source
2·10 months agoI just write in a language few people really knows well. Not like I expect AI to do a great job of basing off my code.

Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work
2·10 months agoI only used LLM-generated code once. I tested and made modifications to see if it was I want. It worked out.

Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work
2·10 months agoIn G’MIC, there’s
repeat(num_of_iters,_var_name,code(););on JIT code, and repeat code_block done outside of JIT. It has while, for, dowhile on JIT too. Other than repeat, there is only do while, and for which is while outside of JIT.Note:
_var_name,can be omitted. So, if you need to just repeat a code N times, that can be removed.
Eh, I rather write code by hand no matter how long it takes.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•i use edit.com, notepad and geany btw
3·10 months agoI use KDE Kate for my coding. Scripting more accurately to some users, but I don’t find a meaningful distinction.

Python@programming.dev•Python in Visual Studio Code - April 2025 Release
1·10 months agoPass. I rather use PyCharm for Python development.
Yeah. repeat() is unique to a few language. I think just Scala, and G’MIC has it. I use the second one. It’s more convenient than say
for(p=0,p<5,++p,);. Sometimes,repeat(5,);suffice.
I actually use
repeat(iterations,index_name(optionall),);. No need for i++ or ++i for loop in many cases.
I had this problem only once. Luckily, I do not need recursion. I know my way using iterative process.

Programming Languages@programming.dev•Rivulet (2D esoteric lanugage)
1·11 months agoOk, I kind of like this.
Not what I’m saying. Just saying if I need speed, I’d use a naturally faster language.
Numpy is good for that. But, I gravitate toward naturally faster langs where I don’t need to import a library for speed. I use Python for simple, dumb scripts.

Programming@programming.dev•Any opinions on "vibe coding"?
2·11 months agoNah. I only used AI as a last resort, and in my case, it has worked out. I cannot see myself using AI for codes again.

Game Development@programming.dev•FuncSug: to make GUI (and so game) programming easier
2·11 months agoI don’t understand the code, but it’s good to see you doing things.



I’d say libraries is why it is popular. Also, I’m not a Python developer, and I don’t bother with libraries.
