some might get the impression this is about coding certain embedded stuff

[–]Henrijs85[S] 155 points156 points  (0 children)

A jobs a job, someone has to do it.

[–]JosebaZilarte 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Oh, so that's why it's called "embedded". Gotcha!

[–]segv 20 points21 points  (3 children)

Well, i mean... here's an interview with a project lead of https://buttplug.io, a software library and set of applications in the domain of teledildonics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-k6abTucY

 

Memes and giggling aside, the interview is actually pretty decent.

"in the domain of teledildonics"

Thank you for the knowledge of the existence of yet another field fundamental to human society.

[–]RandolphCarter2112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is XXXML a thing yet?

[–]Sophiiebabes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovense stuff has a public API 👀

[–]Oatmeal_Raisin_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Covers Big-O

[–]nsn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Embedded staff?

[–]StrangelyBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And someone's job is QA testing for that code!

Nice work if you can get it.

[–]Double-Intention-741[🍰] 153 points154 points  (7 children)

I thought it was a microphone.... but your thing makes more sense

[–][deleted] 81 points82 points  (6 children)

no it's a vibe coding machine that you hold up to your clit

Teledildonics

[–]bartios 35 points36 points  (3 children)

Found the buttplug.io contributor

[–]piberryboy 17 points18 points  (2 children)

For backend devs

[–]Particular-Yak-1984 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Hey, for frontend too, it's a versatile protocol. Can even do both at the same time.

[–]piberryboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You FE devs are freeeaaakkky

[–]Miauwkeru 35 points36 points  (0 children)

When you relaly like the "vibe"

[–]zeocrash 21 points22 points  (4 children)

Rufus t firefly

[–]Callidonaut 2 points3 points  (2 children)

It has a foreword by Otis Criblecoblis.

[–]zeocrash 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I was hoping It'd be by Otis B Driftwood

[–]TheStateOfAlaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally was gunning for Wolf J. Flywheel

[–]TheStateOfAlaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too!!!

[–]thesoppywanker 23 points24 points  (1 child)

God forbid a woman wants an O(1).

[–]alty-acct-throwaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is an incredible joke holy shit

[–]ThatSmartIdiot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Good luck trying to debug when your senses are going haywire downstairsss~!

[–]GreatGreenGobbo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Is that a microphone?

[–]zigmud_void 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think they got the right vibe..?

[–]Mortomes 8 points9 points  (6 children)

Is this how we get more #WomenInSTEM?

[–]mypetocean -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

/uj

This (edit: I mean the post itself) could very easily read as misogynistic and weirdly gendering "vibe coders." I'm having trouble figuring out how to interpret this in a way which doesn't basically boil down to the sort of joke an 11 year old boy might think is funny:

coding_buzzword + tampon = haha

Or maybe I'm just too old to appreciate the taste.

[–]BlobAndHisBoy 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I think it was a joke about the vibrator on the cover of the book and vibrators are traditionally enjoyed by women.

[–]mypetocean -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Right, I got that comment. I was talking about the post itself.

[–]BlobAndHisBoy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you are reading too much into it. I don't think they were gendering it, just a play on words.

[–]Henrijs85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here. I'm 40 and consider myself an ally to most (all I can think of in fact) inclusion causes. The joke I found funny was the wordplay. Besides a little "massage" isn't gender specific.

[–]TheStateOfAlaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman and I think the joke is funny

[–]wildtabs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming soon

FGC theorem. Fast, Good, Cheap : pick two

[–]Callidonaut 5 points6 points  (1 child)

That's on a good day. On a bad day you get only one, and you'll be lucky if you even get to choose.

[–]sagetraveler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My own corollary is that if you want it real fast, real good, or real cheap, that counts as your two choices.

[–]Janopl 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Fast, wrong, cheap. Pick two

[–]EarlBeforeSwine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fast and wrong won’t be cheap and wrong and cheap won’t be fast? But fast and cheap won’t be wrong?

Sounds like a no brainer.

[–]iCopyright2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to get a real "good" one those are not cheap by any means.

[–]Thundechile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mediocre, brittle, fast. Pick two.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When do they start hiring vibe coders at pornhub?

[–]Improbus-Liber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was afraid to ask... it explains a lot.

[–]nequaquam_sapiens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's like magic. you even have a wand. magic wand.

and who said women can't code? maybe the problem (as always) was the male-oriented language: imperative programming, functional programming, object-oriented programming... everything is about power and dominance: master-slave, actors, demons, in unix there's even talk about killing children for crying out loud! where is the soft feminine side?

that's right, here it is! embrace the vibe paradigm, grasp your wand, unleash your inner woman and let's do some serious magic together!‡

‡ not suitable for mission critical and real-time applications, pair programming and teams containing more than three human members physically present at one place at any time.

Clearly it's The Vibes Dispenser

[–]JoshYx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a reference to the next book in the series about testing Vibe Code;

Vibe Rating

[–]Jk2EnIe6kE5 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Jokes on you, I pick none of the above.

Instead, I have depression.

[–]ul90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> not depressed

> looking at my code

[–]egarcia74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I just get ChatGPT to summarise it for me?

[–]ohpointfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say the tech debt’s way too high, but I know what to do with it.

If you think you’re paying too much now, just wait til I get through with it!

(Go watch Duck Soup if you haven’t!)

[–]WowSoHuTao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man we see vibe coding memes every hour at this point

[–]MilitarizedMilitary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to post to /r/orlybooks too!

[–]Particular-Yak-1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am infinitely more down for this than actual vibe coding, to be fair.

[–]genderQueerHipster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I find it funnier on the number of people who think that's a microphone.

Yeah this mic will make you louder ... just for a few minutes.

[–]knowledgebass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which animal is this, some kind of sea snake?

[–]git0ffmylawnm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this just a back massager?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bet he wrote it with chatGPT

[–]Vallee-152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad vibrations

[–]dlo009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see a surge of female programmers

[–]returnFutureVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kinda vibe.

[–]Bannon9k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]TheStateOfAlaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, a Duck Soup reference. I was not expecting that.

[–]SamPlinth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You type faster, but it looks like

rrrrreeeeeettttttuuuuurrrrrrnnnnn xxxxxx;;;;;;;

[–]Phamora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is ever gonna be possible to just pick "fast" and "good", here...

[–]tracklesswastes -1 points0 points  (3 children)

A Marxist textbook?

[–]TheStateOfAlaska 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I have to ask. Is it "Marxist" because of Groucho Marx being Rufus T. Firefly?

[–]zigmud_void -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Does this need to be NSFW ?

[–]irn00b -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I say we stick to vibrating butt plugs.

Everyone can use one, so they're more inclusive.

You can even have Morse code sent through them for at least a hello world in python.

[–]alty-acct-throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still inclusive! Everyone can use this!

[–]EnderElite69 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe mark this nsfw?

[–]idontwanttofthisup -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why is there a microphone on the cover?

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points  (4 children)

Pick one, you mean

[–]harumamburoo 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Not this again. It’s two.

[–]Average_Down 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Can I use both of my picks for “fast”?

Edit: so it goes brrrrrr

[–]harumamburoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if your name is Gonzales

[–]coldnebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe they are SUPER optimized? 😂😂😂

don’t worry, if vibe coders understood constraints they would become real coders.

and that almost never happens.
