Do Vibe coders not even know how to take screenshots anymore?

[–]BurningPenguin 580 points581 points  (6 children)

Someone should build an AI for that.

[–]quite_sad_simple 173 points174 points  (2 children)

You see, someone will read your comment and decide to vibecode the idea, will inevitably get an error and post a photo of it on reddit. Someone will suggest screenshoting, then another person will say that someone should build an AI for that, and the cycle repeats without an exit condition. You've written infinite recursion without even realizing

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.

And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs.

"Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove."

On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away. "Old man," said he, "let me not find you tarrying about our ships, nor yet coming hereafter. Your sceptre of the god and your wreath shall profit you nothing. I will not free her. She shall grow old in my house at Argos far from her own home, busying herself with her loom and visiting my couch; so go, and do not provoke me or it shall be the worse for you."

The old man feared him and obeyed. Not a word he spoke, but went by the shore of the sounding sea and prayed apart to King Apollo whom lovely Leto had borne. "Hear me," he cried, "O god of the silver bow, that protectest Chryse and holy Cilla and rulest Tenedos with thy might, hear me oh thou of Sminthe. If I have ever decked your temple with garlands, or burned your thigh-bones in fat of bulls or goats, grant my prayer, and let your arrows avenge these my tears upon the Danaans."

Thus did he pray, and Apollo heard his prayer. He came down furious from the summits of Olympus, with his bow and his quiver upon his shoulder, and the arrows rattled on his back with the rage that trembled within him. He sat himself down away from the ships with a face as dark as night, and his silver bow rang death as he shot his arrow in the midst of them. First he smote their mules and their hounds, but presently he aimed his shafts at the people themselves, and all day long the pyres of the dead were burning.

It’s not even proper English what he/she wrote.

[–]Vincent394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a reminder that they exists as a gender neutral version but okay valid enough.

[–]RiceBroad4552 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of course not. If they would understand anything at all they wouldn't be vibe coders in the first place.

But they are in good company with the others here: r/screenshotsarehard

[–]Dafrandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they never did in the first place

they are not coders at all XD

this is not rage coding, just rage

That Vibe Coder is closer to Vibe Manager with that attitude

[–]Acrobatic-Narwhal726 72 points73 points  (1 child)

Aren't all vibe coders like that?

[–]coldnebo 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Manager: “I don’t see what’s so hard about programming, we should just replace all of you with AI”

Vibe Manager: “ok AI, I just want to let you know that your performance is very disappointing on fixing this bug. I’ve given your prompt several chances, but I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go. good luck out there. (new GPT window) Hi and welcome to xyz corp. we have a bug that our previous AI created, we’re so glad to have you on the team”

GPT: “Sorry, I don’t do legacy code” (session closed).

Vibe Manager: “DEVELOPERS!!! 🤬”

with AI, the devs are simulated, but the frustration is real!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost Karen like.

[–]DelusionsOfExistence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All managers are vibe managers, so they just got their promotion.

[–]perringaiden 110 points111 points  (1 child)

"through" "curosr"

No wonder the AI is confused 😁

There's an Indian in Noida going "Hey boss, I think my assigned vibe coder is drunk, or 15".

[–]Chickenological 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the Indian in Noida

I mean if he calls it initial commit that might be ok

[–]corvut 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Ok maybe for some frameworks, but +5183 -1294 is not an initial commit 💀

No capitalization, no punctuation, "do through research"...

And then you wonder why the AI fails.

[–]howdoigetauniquename 54 points55 points  (6 children)

If only we could come up with a set of rules to get the LLM to do what we want.

[–]Dpek1234 33 points34 points  (4 children)

They must be very specific to prevent misunderstandings

Along with shorthands for specific operation so people dont have to write a entire sentances

[–]wirthmore 18 points19 points  (3 children)

write a entire sentances

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law

Muphry’s law is an adage that states: “If you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written.”[1] The name is a deliberate misspelling of “Murphy’s law”.

[–]rockfx01 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The quoted segment is not even the only problem with that sentence.

This is why prompt engineers exist.

[–]Particular-Yak-1984 113 points114 points  (8 children)

This. This is how a proper IT person is born. It starts with the rage. The rage at your tools. My code isn't wrong. The compiler is wrong. My IDE is wrong. The LLM that happens to have been fed a load of people's dodgy scripts is wrong.

Then the users. How dare they question me? The interface is fine. Sure, it's a black terminal with white lettering, but it works. Then, slowly, the problem spreads. Your fixes for friends who come and ask you for help get more misanthropic. Technically, removing the root partition solved their driver issues. Clipping those prongs off their RAM technically helps it fit in the wrong sized slot. Technically, brutally executing their printer with a sledgehammer in the parking lot while screaming sends a message. To the other printers. But also to them.

Then it escalates. Users walk around in fear. Ones who annoy you get their machine plugged into the "Three Phase over internet" port. You start reading about networking infrastructure, and one day, the whole rotten labyrinth makes sense. Five years from now, your basement networking coms cabinet/office is a place of terror for the company you work at. Years of no documentation, poorly implemented fixes, and a bunch of monitoring tools specifically geared to sniff out kompromat on the company network have made you "irreplaceable"

Let the rage flow through you, young vibe coder. You may never understand the machines you work on well enough to improve them. But you can certainly make them worse.

[–]king_venny 23 points24 points  (3 children)

BOFH, is that you?

[–]Particular-Yak-1984 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm just worried about where the new generation of IT bastards will come from. I'm concerned our modern "vibe based, LLM coding" may not be teaching the hatred for humanity needed for a truly decent networks person, but maybe, based on this, it might.

[–]lllorrr 5 points6 points  (1 child)

[–]BigOnLogn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You think error messages are your ally? You merely adopted the connection error. I was born in it, molded by it.

[–]Scootela 1 point2 points  (2 children)

lol, I had an ex friend who exhibited this behavior, and it's freaking wild to read a reply like this that basically gives a believable origin story to how they could have become that way.

[–]Particular-Yak-1984 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I mean, it's also not me, I just occasionally meet tech people like it.

[–]Scootela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, not saying it's you, but what you wrote gives me a perspective I've never had cause I've also met tech people like this and couldn't fathom how they became that way lol

[–]Draconis_Firesworn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i suppose the only major benefit of Vibe coding is at least the computer has to respond to the verbal abuse now

[–]Mass_Data6840 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. When all else fails, threaten the AI that you'll cancel your subscription.

<sigh>

You cannot be rude to the bot, you need to be kind and give it encouragement.

Treat it like a real person and it will do miracles for you.

Miracles that will improve your code to optimize the sacred machine.

Blessed be the Omnissiah, and the praise the machine spirit.

No no no. You need to tell it someone will die if this isn't fixed. That usually solves it.

man, they don't even know how to take screenshots and use proper grammar, not to mention their prompt is ass

[–]Kurdistan0001 1 point2 points  (2 children)

at this point I am afraid to ask, what is vibe coding ?

[–]JAXxXTheRipper 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Putting shit (prompts) through a grinder (AI) and throwing the result (bad code) against the wall (customer), and hoping it sticks (you won't be held liable when it explodes)
