Claudering?

E: It's just the same as "to google" at this point.

"Aggressively de-skilling while simultaneously shitting out tech debt"

Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, though.

"Slopping"

isn't vibe coding a term that comes from the ai bros themselves first? We would've used slop coding lol

Fraud coding.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They vibe code Claude code. So I can see why.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

They literally accidentally open-sourced it, because they vibe code their devops. They have unusually low server uptime, because they vibe code their infrastructure. These jokes write themselves.

"Call it what you like, you're still going to need us" Code.

It's just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn't mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the "no code" rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it.

If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won't be too painful to add.

Vibe coding. Boris can go vibe himself.

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Oh no, yet another slop marketeer (CxO, whatever) is unhappy that we're treating their cash cow with derision. How awful for you.

Pipe down and go back to your clankwanking.

How about VaaS (Vulnerability as a Service)

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

What do you prefer? Code theft? Compiled slop? Inefficient shambling?

[–] Gremour@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Clueless coding is the perfect term.

[–] CatAssTrophy@safest.space 15 points 1 month ago

Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.

Vibe coding will do just fine. I understand your concern over your product and its reputation but I don't really share that with you.

And we're sick of all this AI bullshit, so what?

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like to pronounce it very German in my environment, which becomes Klaut Kot. Steals Feces. It's quite fitting tbh.
