Insert more coin into the slopmachine
That’s a real scene from the show? This idiot gets his comeuppance?
Yes, although the finale of the show is laughably bad IMO, which is what this scene is from. Which is a really big letdown because the entire show leading up to it is great.
Yes
Just switch to Zed and run a decent local model. If your vibe coding routine includes a loop through a roadmap doc or PRD then you can fill a few days working local models until Claude is back to fix their mistakes.
Or you could just learn to fucking code like people have been doing for nearly a century.
Actually coding is not as much fun as prompting models. It’s the difference between work and play. Prompting is genuinely a fun thing to do. I don’t do it for work.
Well the slopmachine got you hooked, as it was designed to be…
Couldn’t be more different for me though, I’m missing being in the flow for hours, writing code. Now it’s mindless context switching, and burning out because of looking at all the slop (often of others) that’s just unnecessary garbage code… Wondering how this art has been degraded to so quickly…
Glad you enjoy it. As someone who genuinely enjoys coding and made a career out of it, prompting is a fucking nightmare.
Thats me these days, I’m now spending most of my day understanding the code AI wrote, because being new to both the company and the tech stack, I dont even have enough context to know what needs to be done and sometimes even how it needs to be done I can’t match the speed at which AI works, and the company won’t let me spend enough time to work at it on my own, so pushing AI generated PR’s is what my career has been reduced to before I could even establish myself as a experienced engineer. How am I supposed to grow in this field if I don’t directly work with the code anymore, and what gates the promotion process when even new grads have access to the same AI models, is there even going to be a career in a few years or will the AI bubble burst and we go back to the way things were or at least back to a reasonable level of AI usages
Actually, there’s a whole lot more swearing and pounding of the desk. Fists shaking in the air and screaming, “Anthropic!”
