Chatgpt told me this wasn't possible!
You’re absolutely right.
Rapid AI-generated code is just following the Elon mantra. Test in Prod!
It helps if you're worth almost a trillion dollars though. You can afford to fuck up a thousand times with no consequences. I don't know why more people don't just get rich! It's common sense! /s
I fucked it up at step one by not bring born to rich parents. I really should have started the grindset mentality sooner by being born to rich parents.
Edit: I'm doing fine, but if I had planned ahead better, I could be doing "zero consequences" fine.
This is what happens when increased velocity is demanded. It takes at least as long to verify that the code works well as it would have for me to write and verify. I can pump out a ton of code with an LLM, but if you want quality it’ll take me just as long as 2 years ago, probably longer because of my decreased practice lately
It was established decades ago that
It’s harder to read code than to write it.

and
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
- Brian Kernighan
Having lots of code appear out of thin air isn't really of any help in making functional systems.
No shit Sherlock. "developers" who vibe code were never developers to begin with.
Where's that chart that shows that like 40% of all the llm data comes from reddit.
I havent seen this, but would be very interested
yeah they are product managers who can't understand why their shit requirements are rejected by the dev team and now have access to some tools that will inflate their Denning Kruger syndrom by several orders of magnitude.
And them, boom, production.
Wowza, nobody had foreseen this happening! Well, apart from everyone in the tech sector, and all who were laid off in almost every sector, and everyone else… ahh forget it!
Relying on “AI” is just like shooting yourself in the foot while on angeldust.
It doesn’t hurt now, but you lost your employe… I mean foot, and you still need to clean it up.
Shhhh don't tell them, European bank are introducing AI in their process want to see capitalism fail ? Let some dedicating AI manage that. Then when it broke they have nobody to fix.
Europe is cool af tho
Yeah man. Rob the world, sit on the spoils until your oligarchs get restless and then release them on a "new market" (see, new victims). Based af /s
Oligarchs? Thats the angle you want to play? Europe has the most Democratic institutions on earth. They're a beacon in a world brimming with autocratic nightmares.
Yeah, and most of the fucked up shit in the world is majority the responsibility of European settler colonialism. I'm from the states and most of the fucked up shit in this country is because y'all sent all your fucking wackjobs over here in the 16th and 17th centuries. Africa, the entire continent, is still fucked by all your colonies.
Like, don't get me wrong, you're sitting pretty. But the cost of all that pretty sitting was bore by the rest of the world.
Idk who tf actually needs to hear this but:
-
Columbus died in 1506 my dude
-
Everywhere on earth throughout all of history humans have been awful to each other.
The higher a country places on the democracy index the better off all of its people arem
Columbus died in 1506
Yeah, and the last colony was freed from European control in... oh wait. Oh no! It looks like that hasn't happened yet.
Other dates to consider
1994, the end of South African Apartheid
2023‐current, intensified Israeli genocide of Gaza
Ongoing, cold war between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir region
Ongoing, Sudanese civil war
All that and more are current or very recent geopolitical conflicts that directly descend from European colonial ambitions and violence.
Everywhere on earth throughout all of history humans have been awful to each other.
A thought terminating cliché that lets you wiggle out of thinking about the impact your continent had and continues to have on the greater world. If you really think this way, you'll never understand how the world works or how we can work to better it for everyone. Which is a huge disservice to both you and all of humanity.
Neglecting the evil Europe has done just so you can focus on the positives you have is exactly how y'all got into the colonizing business to begin with. Had to go wrestle control of the world away from those savages who don't know how to run things correctly. It was for their own good, ya see (and for the profits)
Also, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Turkey, England, and Russia are all countries that are currently or are courting with outright fascism/authoritarianism. Maybe we think of that before you declare yourselves the beacon of democracy with no peers in the world, yeah?
South Africa, a country in Africa, stopped doing Apartheid in part due to social and economic pressure from western nations.
Thanks for pointing out you're just a racial supremacist.
No way.
But the managers at my company keep pushing us to vibe code everything.
We're deep into a "move fast and break things cycle" which absolutely means a lot of testing is happening in prod because ev
I get it... If the competition has features you don't have you'll lose business now. Telling your customers to submit a ticket so the team can quickly fix it or ignore you is kinda the normal now.
What are you gonna do, vibe code your own solution?
Qu'elle surprise mon ceour
Make stupid choices...
It's almost like you shouldn't put unvetted code into production or something... Nah, that's crazy!
Yeah but a LLM vetted the code, so it's all good.
I have such 0 faith in companies that utilize AI code that I falsified all my info and permenently deleted my microsoft account quite a while ago and actively will not give out any real personal information to new companies.
Eventually, it will be a liability, and it won't be me paying for it.
and it won't be me paying for it.
Damn. What's it like living on another planet? Cause that's the only way that statement makes any sense.
You can't personal responsibility away the failures of the system, my man
AI as a whole, and even Microsoft, might be costing us all but the specific liability of massive data breaches will miss me, thats the point.
A survey conducted by a software company called Cloudbees. First I've heard of them.
