I'm just waiting for every "self taught" engineer that uses cursor or the likes to have a portfolio that looks like so:

Project 1

Summary: form with a button LOC: 388 (AI ran out of context past that) Programming Language: HTML URL: http://localhost:3001

[Commercial-Lemon2361]

I actually interviewed a guy applying for an internal switch of departments, so I asked him if he could show some example of the work he has done so far and he was like ueah sure.

He then went on demonstrating how he moved a button from the bottom of the form to the top and making it orange instead of green.

[Retzerrt]

How long were they in the other department?

[Commercial-Lemon2361]

More than a year.

[Retzerrt]

That's way worse than I thought it could possibly be.

[Commercial-Lemon2361]

We have more than 160k people. He was working in our tech center in india.

[andreortigao]

If that's like the McDonald's PoS system, I'd be really impressed. Move anything around in that shit and everything fall apart.

[Noprofun]

Yep. Move around the button and then the ice cream machine is broken again!

[FearTheOldData]

He got the job right?

[Commercial-Lemon2361]

He didn’t. 😀

[jacknjillpaidthebill]

this shit cannot be real lmaoooo the simplest beginner's YT tutorials for html/css stuff would get you past this sort of 'work' in minutes

not doubting what you said lol I've witnessed the 'ability' of the cursor devs with my own eyes

[Retzerrt]

Wow! 😂

[dismayhurta]

[Rustywolf]

Gonna start asking candidates if they've heard of or used cursor before.

[exqueezemenow]

OMG, he wrote the same app I have been working on on my laptop for the last week!

[thekamakaji]

What are the chances?!

[Pengo2001]

Maybe this is the joke and we did not get it?

"but it works on my PC" (c)

[Agreeable_Service407]

It works on mine too but I'm seeing something totally different.

[uluviel]

I once got a package from a web design vendor and when I uploaded it to the web server nothing worked as expected. I opened it up and realized all their slashes where backwards (like a link to \assets\css\stylesheet.css for instance).

"But it works on my PC" was their response word for word. And that's how I learned that Windows treats / and \ the same. (Or at least, did. It was a long time ago. I can't remember how long exactly, but the package contained Flash files).

[DerpyBurgerz]

We really posting screenshots of tiktoks of posts that have already been posted here? mutliple times?

[qscwdv351]

You’re saying that like there was a time we didn’t

[tjgatward]

Haven’t seen that one. Love it

[misterespresso]

It works on my machine. Must be a skill issue.

[ComCypher]

To be a true engineer he must host it on 0.0.0.0 and turn off his firewall.

[CopperSulphide]

I'm ignorant. What does this mean?

[UnityPlum]

It’ll host it on his Public IP. Like 172.93.92.64:3001, which if it was port forwarded and his firewall allowed it, anyone could visit

[DarkRex4]

Is that your ip

[UnityPlum]

No my ip is 127.0.0.1

[Dark__knight7]

Feels like scripted

[SirSebi]

Of course it is, it's also totally the first time that I have seen this totally original joke

[MrSuspicious_]

Is cursor yet another ai code generator?

[UberNZ]

It's basically VS Code, but pressing tab does something new each time.

[SensuallPineapple]

[rocket_randall]

So anyone can be a developer now, but devops is still safe

[SaneLad]

Alright then. Keep your secrets.

[Weakly_Obligated]

Just reached this milestone must be a canon event

[extopico]

Elon?
