<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey folks 👋,
I was tired of fighting with messy JSON (missing commas are my arch-nemesis 😅), so I built jsonjunction.tech (https://jsonjunction.tech/). It’s super simple: Paste JSON → get it validated & formatted Minify or beautify No signups, just works in the browser I’d love if you could try it out and let me know: Does it solve a real pain point? Any features you’d want added (YAML, CSV export, etc.)?

Built a YAML-to-RESUME Editor
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mx53ei/built_a_yamltoresume_editor/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Built a YAML-to-PDF generator I was working with YAML for a project and had a silly idea: if we can use YAML to inject data, why not use it to inject data into a resume template? I use Overleaf for my resumes all the time, but meddling with the code isn’t easy. I often have to ask ChatGPT several times to get the correct line. So, I build a YAML TO RESUME editor, using React/TypeScript frontend, a Node.js backend, and deployed the app on Vercel and Railway.
I was focused mainly on: Change YAML order = Change PDF layout Jake's Resume template quality Split-panel live preview Planning To-Do: Implement more components/styles from other templates Option to select templates Better error logging Indentation Linting Website: yaml-to-resume.vercel.app (http://yaml-to-resume.vercel.app/) Can you guys give feedback/suggestions how I can improve this and what features do I need to add?

I wasn't taught Git in school
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mx7enr/i_wasnt_taught_git_in_school/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I want to take a minute to talk about people who say “I wasn’t taught Git in school.” This line is everywhere on Reddit, on Twitter, and in dev circles. It gets thrown around as if it’s some kind of defense for why they never bothered to learn version control. And honestly, it’s not just Git. People love to blame school for not covering all kinds of stuff: “They don’t teach that in school, they don’t teach this in school.” Well, of course they don’t! Because it’s a school. The point isn’t to spoon-feed you every single topic you might someday find useful. Schools are supposed to teach you things that are mentally demanding and foundational, not every single practical tool you could easily self-learn. That’s why you pay the big tuition (for fundamentals, theory, and hard concepts). Would you really want to pay thousands just to be walked through stuff you could learn in a couple afternoons online? You signed up for computer science which is an insanely big and evolving field (which is possibly a bit different than studying Physics or other sciences in school), and you sure as hell also signed up for extra work outside of school not just going over the assigned readings. Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but you really don’t need to be “taught” Git. Even if you’re just dabbling in programming, you should be learning things on your own. The teacher, the course, or the school can’t possibly cover everything. They focus on the fundamentals, which already take a lot of time to grasp, and I assume that’s what your school did. The rest is on you. If you’re blaming your school for not teaching you Git, you’re just making excuses for your own laziness. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/-Kkdark (https://www.reddit.com/user/-Kkdark)

Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of AI-assisted Codebase Generation
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mxesgo/exploring_the_challenges_and_opportunities_of/

<!-- SC_OFF -->In my recent VL/HCC paper, I looked at how developers use AI tools that can generate or edit entire repositories (e.g. Cursor AI or Lovable). What I found was that the code often misses functionality, doesn’t run, or ignores existing project context. Also, I noticed that developers often forget to include their own requirements, which makes the gap between what they want and what the AI delivers even bigger. Repo-level AI assistants are promising, but there is work to do. I see a need for better ways to guide prompting, show plans, and help developers understand outputs before vibecoding can actually fit into day-to-day workflows. Curious to hear some opinions here on this. Do you see these tools becoming part of company software engineering work soon? Why (not)? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/ace-user-1 (https://www.reddit.com/user/ace-user-1)
