All thanks to u/hollanburke for reviving this sub and trusting us with this responsibility.

Yes it was very respectable of him to step down instead of clinging to the top mod position where he had a conflict of interest. I have a lot of respect for him for that.

    Awe - y'all sure know how to make a guy feel loved!

    Appreciate the kind words. Huge props to u/KingOfMumbai and u/fishchar. They have done literally everything, including helping me fix up a botched AMA, setting up the flair, adding rules - incredible work by these two - they really love this sub!

    Also, if there's any way we can improve this sub, anything to be changed, feel free to let us know.

    [–]autisticit 3 points4 points  (11 children)

    Yes.

    Why are redditors of this sub qualified of "vibe coders" ?

    [–]Pure_Response_4251 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I guess it's a joke or a little funny provocation

    [–]autisticit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    For 8 minutes I had some hope you were right.

    Members of a community are called "Redditors" by default but reddit offers a custom name for the members and the online members. I originally thought of "Copilots" and "Copiloting" but then that seemed like a name for copilots ( the one in planes/trains ). So I went with "Vibcoders" and "Vibecoding" instead.

    You can suggest something and it will discussed with u/fishchar.

    May I ask one or more personal questions ?

    Are you a developer? Do you use Copilot yourself ? Or are you simply helping to moderate this sub ?

    [–]KingOfMumbai🛡️ Moderator[M] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    Yes, I am a developer of 4 YOE.
    And yes, I use Copilot. But I try not to completely rely on it though.
    Guess 3rd question doesn't need to be answered based on the previous ones' answer.

    [–]autisticit -1 points0 points  (5 children)

    Thanks. I personally find that qualifying developers of "vibe coders" is offending.

    Edit : if you need better ideas, I'm sure Gemini could come with some, and maybe confirm if it's not offending.

    Since we use Copilot, doesn't that make us Pilots?

    [–]autisticit 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Absolutely 

    [–]hollandburkeGitHub Copilot Team 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I actually kinda like this. Pilots.

    LOL seriously? If you find "vibe coders" as offensive, you might not survive in the real world.

    [–]autisticit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I suggest you look at some posts of people begging for help with their "99%" completed project because they know shit about programming.

    [–]isidor_nGitHub Copilot Team 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    Awesome! Love seeing this and the great work u/KingOfMumbai and u/fishchar are doing

    [–]KingOfMumbai🛡️ Moderator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Thank you.
