  • It works short term. If you have a deadline tomorrow by all means.

    Long term you need to be aware of not just the code but the theory behind the code. You can make it work if you’re promoting what you need and read the result, understand it and test it but if we pure vibe coding is probably too much. How are you gonna solve problems when you don’t fully understand how things work?

    Another thing, a lot of AI generated code solves the problem in the most obvious often bad way. For example I asked the AI for help with an ORM limitation I was running into and so many times the code it suggested was just query the db, then filter in code afterwards















  • Well mine hasn’t started yet so I can only speak about what I read.

    A volunteer homestay is an agreement whereby a guest stays with a host in exchange for work. The guest gets a place to sleep, usually they eat with the host and they sometimes get some small pocket money. In exchange, the guest works for 3-5 hours a day helping the host out with whatever they need. This can be cleaning the house, cooking, gardening, farming, taking care of the animals, babysitting or petsitting. It all depends on what they agree to beforehand.

    This is most popular among tourists who want a cheap stay on their vacation, but there are other reasons too including language learning.

    You find homestays on platforms like Workaway, Worldpackers, or WWOOF(organic farm stays only). They are paid platforms.

    From what I’ve read online in past experiences, it’s hit and miss and depends a lot on the host. Some people say they had an amazing experience, it changed their life, they made lifelong friends, and learned a lot about the work and learned the language. Others had a very bad experience, their host didn’t provide necessities and expected them to work more than 5 hours etc. I recommend you contact past guests of a particular host, even if their review is positive they will be more candid in private and you can ask specific questions.

    Remember you can leave whenever you want. There is no signed contract or obligation. And you should not let yourself be taken advantage of. If a stay is bad, leave early. Worst thing that can happen is you get a bad review.
