A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

Kind of the same comic as this, just less abstract:

I feel like the guy on the right while everyone around me vibe codes things.
It doesn't pay (literally) to be too anti-AI, today.
I'll accept my trophy and bonus later, but I will feel slightly bad about it.
Yeah, same. Others will generate some awful code and get praise for how quickly they implemented a feature. And then I need to debug or modify that awful code at some point and it takes longer than rewriting it.
It just feels so wrong, too. We had the ability to quickly write awful code beforehand, too, and learned over a long time that it's not worth it. Now we have a different way of doing the same thing and it's treated like it's entirely different.
Maybe we can shift to an entirely different paradigm, where we don't need to understand code anymore, because we always just generate anew or something. But I'd really rather have any evidence of that being a good idea, and not just causing different bugs to be generated, before I risk a project to that.
Well said. This whole hype cycle has been weird.
