As if AI gave any power in the first place. I'm yet to see any AI produce anything even remotely useful, and have about a dozen or two cases where it was nothing but a complete waste of time.

The iranian lego shitposting videos are solid gold at least.
I’m honestly shocked how normalized this is.
Have we really become so lazy that we don’t even want to learn a minimum of a programming language, especially if you work in IT? Sure, if you have no training or education in IT and just want to make a quick app to help your personal projects, go crazy. But I’d say even then you’d he doing yourself a disfavor by not even looking at some documentation for 5 minutes. It seems like today people completely disregard the value of constant learning, even if it won’t result in the next Apple, I feel like learning something new even surface-level can only be beneficial. Vibe-coding is just one aspect, the fact people are reading worse and worse further shows that learning simply lost its appeal, people just want to make money believing billionaires who tell them “oh anyone can be like me, without school or education you just need crypto or whatever the next finance bro trend is”.

It's worse than that. I've seen people who used to be good programmers, writing complicated FPGA data processing applications, reduced to barely being able to read simple python scripts and making extremely beginner mistakes when they ever have to change a line of code themselves.
This week I got into Bitburner and spent hours writing and debugging Typescript code in a video game for fun.
Vibe coders are boring people on the inside who don't take joy in their field.
When your company gives free ai to 1/3 of employees and increase amount of work tenfold to everyone... you have no options left. Job market sucks nowadays
As someone that always Reads The Fucking Manual, it's frustrating to live in a world full of people that never Read The Fucking Manual.
I wrote a 60 page manual for the machine my code runs on and I have talked to a total of one (1) person who actually checked the manual for his problem before calling us for help.
What are you actually learning? Coding hasn’t changed substantially in 10 years. You might have picked up some rust along the way but what are you actually reading?
There is an near-infinite expanse of stuff to learn in every direction you look. Human knowledge and culture is a fractal, even when you think you know everything about a subject there's always more to be surprised by or to do.
I've recently been reading up on cryptography. That part of software engineering alone can take years to catch up with the latest post-quantum developments.
There is also always some basic shit which you forget with time. I need to re-read The Art of Computer Programming at some point.
This isn't specifically related to coding. I'm taking about any manual, be it for a programming language, or a microwave oven. Regarding my particular field of endeavor, how many people that drive cars are even remotely familiar with the actual road rules legislation, or even looked at them since they got their licence? See also the people that complain about following Ikea instructions as if they aren't the simplest possible instructions to follow.
Honestly it's worse, it's not like it is a super power to use it, it produces garbage results, especially for people who proclaim to want to learn.
It really depends what you're making. I've used it to create a ton of incredibly specific to me Firefox add-ons that do exactly what I wanted them to. Same with small web apps, 5 minutes and I have exactly what I wanted on vercel.
Yes I could have leant how to do it, but I would rather spend that time learning things I actually want to learn like a second language and playing an instrument. And I wouldn't think anything less of someone that uses llm to translate something so they can spend time coding. Not everyone needs to learn to do literally everything they ever want to use.
I’m just glad the last season of the boys is getting some love, not that it deserves any.
