It's actually reassuring to see that despite all warnings and doomsayers there will still be opportunities for programmers capable of solving problems using natural intelligence.

If anything it feels like we're the doomsayers trying to warn people that their AI bullshit won't ever work and they're just not listening as they lay off the masses and push insecure and faulty code.

And then years from now when this all comes to a head, they’re gonna hire some poor schmucks to fix that crappy code

Ah yes, the elusive AI "programmers".

The vibes were off.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 days ago

Yeah this what you get when you code based on vibes.

You need a USB C “Power Ctrl+Z” key. Unlike the regular Ctrl+Z key one of these bad boys is capable of reversing edits across system reboots until as far back as when you originally plugged it in.

Sounds to me like a glorified keylogger 😭

if this is real, that's the kind of people who should be worried about being replaced by an ai

it's also Claude

lmao

Was playing around with it. It's neat tech. It's interesting all the side projects I can spin up now. It absolutely cannot replace an engineer with a brain.

I've caught so many little things I've had to fix, change. It's an amazing way to kick off a project, but I can't ever trust blindly what it's doing. It can get the first 80% of a small project off the ground, and then you're going to spend 7x as long on that last 20% prompt engineering it to get it right. At which point I'm usually like "I could have just done it by now".

I see kids now blindly trusting what it's doing, and man are they going to fall face first in the corporate world. I honestly see a place for vibe coding in the corporate world. However I also see you still needing a brain to stitch it all together too.

Yeah, a coworker (also a trainee) spent 2 days trying to debug some C# MVC thing. It took me around 5 mins, from having last seen C# code 7 years ago, to realizing that the quotes were part of the literal string and needed to be checked too.

Well he did literally everything with the internal ChatGPT instance (or so a coworker said, I don't know which model actually runs there). I asked if he wrote JS code, he said no. Well even though there was JS in the cshtml file, he technically didn't lie, as he didn't write it.

subversion. those were the days...

Was my first experience with source control, a bunch of Gary's Mod mods were distributed that way, think I recall wiretool doing that, spacebuild was for sure, predated my work use by like 5ish years.

I didn't hate it but definitely prefer git, but I'll take literally anything over not having it,

Ahh yes, programming by vibe. The vibe is always dumbass. Just steal code that has already been explained to you like everyone else.
