This post is getting reported for trolling/rage bait. It most likely is that, but I am enjoying the comments and ratio so I am going to leave it be. We’ll keep an eye on it just in case.
Why is everything considered trolling now. Obviously it’s not meant to be a max positivity approved meme. I just thought it was something we could have a laugh.
It’s just sad what is reported as trolling now. I’m all for the downvotes but reporting for trolling is stupid.
This is the biggest vibe coding cope I’ve ever seen. Maybe study and get real skills? “Prompt engineer” is English for “clown”.
You don’t understand! You need this specific version of agentic IDE, this specific version of AI premium subscription, and after you let it do everything, even the code reviewing, you’ll become a 1000x engineer! Trust me, you just have to get used to the workflow in 13417 months!
Software dev here. I am good at it, and people pay me unreasonably high rates to come in and do things faster and better than they can.
It AI coding tools were useful, I’d use them.
AI slows me down twice:
- 60% productivity loss whenever I try to use it for anything else than a code search engine.
- When I have to follow up the -1x engineers who are using AI to become -10x engineers.
I have yet to see an AI adopter who actually gets shit done in a way that is meaningful to anyone exept their own psychotic selves.
“With Claude I managed to do this in one hour!” Bro, what you did was generate 120 lines of Javascript that badly reimplements what could be a single line of CSS. You could have used that hour to learn some CSS.
“Without AI coding tools, our team would have taken at least a month to make this barely-working standalone image upload page.” My brother in Christ you are proudly yelling at me that you are fucking incompetent! A webdev worth their salary can shit out something better than that in their lunchtime bathroom break!
-1x engineers becoming -10x engineers really made my day. Thanks.
Agreed, I use AI for coding the way I used to use Stack Overflow:
Find me code examples, explain an error or give me some summaries of how something should work but then I go confirm that or test it separately!
I never trusted Stack Overflow for anything more than pointing me in the right direction for what to research. Documentation links, snippets, blogs etc, that sort of stuff. As long as I tell the AI to give me a reference, about 60-70% of the time I’ll get something I can actually use to confirm the code it gave me or get an answer for my question. At best what it does is save me googling time.
Exactly. Only the most incompetent people seem to be impressed by what LLMs shit out. AI bros are really annoying, but I take great pleasure in knowing that they are fucking dumb.
60% productivity loss whenever I try to use it for anything else than a code search engine.
Even I as amateur Python dev am able to notice this. It’s basically a nicer (and more resource-intensive) StackOverflow for basic questions when your brain lags again or you’re stuck with how a library is documented (looking at you GTK). The best thing you can do with LLMs is not integrate it into your IDE but just have it open in a browser tab, and never ever copy anything out of it. Saves money, time and IQ points.
Also worth mentioning: It’s extremely noticeable how different US companies tuned their models (unfortunately chinese models widely copied them). I was curious due to the whole Digital Independence things going on in the EU and did some tests with Mistral (EU) vs. ChatGPT (US).
My core takeaways:
- Mistral refuses to open any website that tells LLMs to fuck off (it’s sad this is even noteworthy, but all US companies just work around every block). This isn’t an issue if you host your knowledge DBs yourself.
- Mistral will more likely tell you “I don’t know”, “This might be incorrect” or “you should double-check this” if it can’t find any resources on the question. ChatGPT instead will instead answer something as confident as always and hallucinate while coating you in honey.
- Mistrals WebUI isn’t infested with invasive Javascript. And as a sidenote, the European model also refuses to generate any pixel slop even in the style of smaller artists. ChatGPT doesn’t give a shit unless it’s the IP of another US megacorp. But nobody should generate such slop anyway.
Basically the US models are made to be as addictive and ruthlessly profitable as possible, always giving you something while sugarcoating your mistakes (even if that’s wrong). It’s gambling. Those who’re celebrating these things might already be psychologically addicted without realising it.
(This doesn’t mean Mistral is great, just not as awful. Their tiny models are already used in weapons in Ukraine, and it’s still AI that sucks the planet dry)
this seems, idk, needlessly mean? like, it’s clearly trying to portray this programmer as bad, but for what? wanting to get a job? trying to improve their skills?
i feel like this is probably meant to be funny, but it just seems mean and sad.
Yeah, it made me feel kinda sad. I’m trying so hard learning to code games and I’m a 3D artist still trying to learn to draw traditionally, only using “AI” for nothing more than “Hey can you explain the relationship between classes and objects” or something…
And if the constant slop-replacement of the Internet wasn’t bad enough, it’s a constant uphill battle of mockery and harassment from these chucklenuts.
It’s so discouraging. Like if we do succeed against the odds, jerks like these will be cheering on the robots ripping us off.
… I’m glad seeing this crap downvoted to oblivion though. :)
Don’t feel demotivated. AI can’t replace developers now, and this current crop of them are just unable to.
The thing is, when you don’t know what you are doing, vibecoding looks like it works. This is either one case of this, or it’s some of the last 30 billion OpenAI raised this week at work.
The right still can’t meme, but it can apparently delete and repost this to a different community hoping for traction.
Mods at programing humour deleted it because thats what lemmy mods do. Moderated based on vibes and personal taste. Like reddit mods just much worse
If you don’t like it here, you are free to leave us alone.
Should I touch grass?
If you want to.
Please go back to reddit. No one wants you here.
Obvious ragebait is obvious
Come on. It’s honestly just jokes. I saw it and thought it was a good laugh
could you explain the joke? i don’t think i get it.
There’s nothing to get, check their other comments. They’re just here to bitch and pretend they’re somehow the victim.
Wow congrats, you found the one meme everyone on Lemmy collectively hates. Good on you!
😆
The joke is this, but updated with modern memes
