“The CEO makes 586 times more than the average employee, fire that guy!”
Someone please send this message to Klarna employees on Blind!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
God dang, that's genius!
The company’s CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, has thrown the entire company’s weight behind artificial intelligence, infamously boasting that the tech was doing the work of “700 full-time agents” last year — only to regret his decision months later, admitting that humans play an important role after all.
Siemiatkowski claimed that he went from being a “business person” to an amateur developer thanks to vibe coding, allowing him to come up with a prototype in just 20 minutes.
Siemiatkowski claimed his newfound hobby is saving his staff significant amounts of time — but whether Klarna engineers would agree with that sentiment remains unclear.
What a shit show.
Why is it always the business majors?
I took a couple classes at the business school and was surprised by how many business majors were people who’d originally been in the engineering school but flamed out when they tried taking Organic Chemistry. It seemed to be one of College of Engineering’s early required classes and I think they used it to weed out students.
Some of the worst people I have ever worked with are engineers who went on to get MBAs. They often can do neither business or engineering but are thrilled to lecture you about both.
because Business and Economics have been sold as a science when they truly fucking aren't
Have you guys tried using "variables?" That's what we need: constantly keep it fresh so we're not stagnating! See what you can come up with and let's plan to schedule some time to touch base on this!
"I'm happy to report that the Team has been very receptive to the introduction of the concept of variables, and are wildly enthusiastic about using them liberally henceforth. Thanks Boss! Where would we lowly programmers be without you?"
Hey, I like the cut of this one's jib!
This so called “for loop” will blow your mind.
I'm seeing great uptake with these "variables", but I'm going to put marketing in the loop to make sure variable names are aligned with customer expectations. All new variables must be signed off after focus group testing and consultation. Why use i when you can use iVariablePro?
Why did our systems start failing so much when marketing launched the iVariablePro+?
This comment gave me ptsd
This guy has no idea how many people around the office are laughing at him, right now.
The CEO when he learns of it:
My CEO does this and it is both cringe and highly disheartening.
My manager does this and even pretends his team makes it.
Then the moment it starts not working, he makes a brand new one.
I'm waiting for everything to fall apart.
print2("string")
def print2(string: String as String):
if string and string == String and string != null and typeof(string)==String
print(string)This is right up there with the amazing isEven() and isOdd() functions I have seen. Truly masterful work.
When company policy prohibits polymorphic elements
You don't get to be CEO without weapons grade hubris, I guess.
"Boss, if you knew how to do my job better than I do, you wouldn't need to pay me in the first place. The fact that I have to tell you this should have told you everything you need to know, but for the same reason won't, you utter dipshit."
As someone who's lost colleagues to AI, and is directly closer to losing their own job, I can tell you they don't care.
They intend to replace everyone in due time. They think they are brilliant, because chatgpt tells them they are brilliant. It's the ultimate ass-kissing machine, and they are ultimately vulnerable to all ass kissing.
Fucking delusional
I thought this was either an Onion article or a plot for Silicon Valley.
So I'm using ChatGPT right now to vibe code some hot fixes for my heavily modded version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R GAMMA (about 560 mods) and having it try to patch it when it crashes to desktop from the inevitable conflicts all these mods eventually have when you get enough of them running simultaneously.
I've been at it for a few days now and it's still crashing, so I don't think I'm doing it right lol.
No, you’re doing it exactly right.
Thank you for showing me how to do my job, oh wise leader.
"Quick, boss, ask the AI if it thinks it can do your job, too?"
Airhead.
