  • I’m being migrating all my team code from SAS to Python from the past year or so, slowly but firmly. Another team went full on on vibe coding their SAS to Python and now I’m being told that I’m being move to their team to refractor all that vibe code because the results are incorrect and nobody understands what the vibe code is doing. I checked up quickly to know what I’m going to find and the Claude Code just translate the SAS code as is, instead of adapting the code as python practices (for example, to get the last day of the month the code goes to the first day of the next month, but first it check it December to go to the next year, and then subtracts a day, instead of using relativedelta).




  • Writing an email and sending it are pretty different functions, it’s doesn’t looks like that because the sending part is just pressing a bottom and all the protocols and sever communication is done in the background hide from the user.

    It’s like asking the postal service to also write and package your mail and then open and read it for the recipient.

    I personally like that philosophy and try to use it in my job, with functions that only do one job and programs that only do one job and then just chain them and make calls from each other. My users doesn’t know it’s like that and they doesn’t notice any difference, but it’s help me debugging or implementing new functionalities.

    My wife company is in a big crisis and in the past months all of her team was lay off, she was the only one who didn’t lost her job. They move her to a team where she have no experience and is juggling trying to learn while having to respond in things she never did before. Im having nightmares of she being fired, can’t even imagine the stress she is in right now.
