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.
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
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!
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.
At best what it does is save me googling time.
At the expense of vastly higher resource use.
I value my finite time more than I value a few Watt-Hours.
You could go to your local library and read through a bunch of books rather than using Google if you’re interested in more power savings ideas.
I’ve found it useful when I want to turn a well defined rest API definition document into a bunch of POJO. I have it churn out boilerplate crap with no logic. Saves ten minutes here and there.
Wow congrats, you found the one meme everyone on Lemmy collectively hates. Good on you!
😆
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!
The joke is this, but updated with modern memes
surprised a clanker didn’t make this
Notice how the guy’s legs don’t line up with the body?
Also the cover of the book on the table
This is the biggest vibe coding cope I’ve ever seen. Maybe study and get real skills? “Prompt engineer” is English for “clown”.
