"You must be able to read code faster than you write it, spotting hallucinations, security vulnerabilities, and logic errors instantly."
I've seldomly come across a more delusional statement...

I just spotted the first logic error.
Reading: yes Comprehending: no
This is written like an AI prompt.
I think the text is AI generated, "you will not just be writing code; you will be orchestrating it", literally "its not x - its y" but written a little differently.
Edit: Forgot the "just" in the quote
Remember to tell it not to put any bugs in its output! That's sure to help.
"You don't need to know how to code but you must be able to spot code bugs at the speed of thought"
Understanding the intricacies of someone else's code takes longer than writing code yourself. Good luck to this company!
"Prompt engineer" is a legitimate profession to people who think "how fast you can type Python" is what determines the skill level of an actual programmer.
When people type 70wpm andit it requires thier full attention, it seems intuitive that this is a bottleneck. I just don't believe that's the typical state of affairs for most devs. Most management, sure.
I'm not saying there aren't some code that get written that is braindead simple and have a lot of keystrokes (builders come to mind) but modern IDEs will generate them for you. We already had a plethora of deterministic code generation tools at our fingertips.
When you can type at 70wpm you can only do that when you're copying text or taking dictation, maybe at double speed. Detailed thought doesn't come at even 20wpm
I learnt to touch type quickly, the only thing I type at that speed now is my passphrases
For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It's not about how fast you're typing but what you're typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.
Bur bad managers can't accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc
As a cybersecurity researcher, I see this as an absolute win.
Vibe coding will secure your job for years to come. Congrats on the job security
Strongly reconsidering respecing my career into this. But there's a risk it'll just become "some junior with Dunning Kruger vibe coded this shite, now you have to fix it"
Success is the only possible outcome.
This is some State-of-the-art (SOTA) bullshit right here.
Some SOTA bullshit!
We are all in on AI at work finally. I want to keep my job so I guess I have to stop being a Luddite.
I am mortgaging my career though. Letting AI do the work saps my problem solving skills and I lose what I have spent my whole career building.
Oh, I very much doubt it. AI just introduces lots of new kinds of problems to solve.
Minimum 15 years of experience.
Act as the rigorous gatekeeper for AIgenerated code.
Well, in a way I'm already doing this.
This company wants to fail in record time
Name and shame them. Who are they? just that we can about their "services"
found the add. company is called nnamu.
career menu links to this
32 hours over 4 days and 24 days paid vacation. It’s an hour less than my job I might do it.
Apply, get the job, then just have an AI agent do all the work for you
It is required to mention your LinkedIn account for applying.
vibe management skills
🤣
I'll give it a shot, but I must be able to use my laptop to vibe-interview.
"vibe" coding? "vibe" management? Hows about you go stick a "vibe"rator up your ass
Vibe management? Is that what they mean by "edge" computing?
Reading that both made me dumber just by its existence and made me throw up a little in my mouth.
I wish the Internet never existed so I wouldn't have to see opinions like these
It's amazing to me because half of this vibe coded shit is just regurgitated open source code. You can literally just install an open source tool and it will do half of the work for you ... Or you can vive code a substantially worse copy of the open source project
