minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·12 hours agois it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 hours agoPossible? Yes. Likely? No.

minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 hours agoProbably not but maybe. It’s a gamble that I’m guessing most MBAs would love to make!
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 hours agoi guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 hours agoGood luck with that if it’s being vibe coded.
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 hours agoi don’t think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.
