Bro can you fix my broken vibe coded app?
For 200 bucks an hour
300 minimum for contract work
I’ve got mouths to feed
And I got a real job that I will be doing for longer than a week, so the the money has to justify me spending my rare free time.
Is that a number you can actually charge? Because if so, there’s some prices I’m gonna have to raise.
You can charge it, but that doesn’t mean anyone’s gonna pay it. Highly depends on your specific market and skillset.
At the very least, it’s definitely useful as a “fuck you” price.
That number is at the high end of what I usually see for consulting work. The high hourly rate has to cover all of the HR and accounting overhead, invoicing, marketing, business development, and the opportunity cost of short term engagement vs. long term engagements.
Slap on a zero.
Also, minimum billing is in increments of 1 week
Well they’d be asking the AI this lol
Okay, there’s one benefit from LLMs.
I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
At least my million dollar ideas friends wasting AI’s time with the useless crap, instead of ruining a perfectly nice meal conversation with me.
Of course, I know it is only buying me a few months. The “quick fix to my AI app” requests are gathering on the horizon.
What are the three logos?
- Cursor https://cursor.com/en
- Claude Code https://claude.ai/
- Lovable https://lovable.dev/
AI companies i believe
Oh, I didn’t even recognize one as a logo and was completely fine with the meme adding a blood-splat to the soldier.
That’s Kurt Vonnegut’s illustration of an anus.

“It’s like Facebook, but for people’s pets!”
Ah yes because we need more apps.
But these aren’t just any apps, these are shitty half-assed apsps generated from a slurry of unrelated mediocre code scraped from the corners of the web.
I am not looking forward to next year when every new aspect of any service I use online will have an 80% chance to be a half-assed shit slurry.
Today’s 65% chance was already time consuming and exhausting.
am i wrong or is this a terrible meme format for what it’s trying to say?edit: it was the former
I was initially confused as well, but I do think the meme format matches.
