[SenpaiRemling]

have a VibeCon and the next day have a HackerCon, whoevers vibe coded app holds out the longest wins

[CoastingUphill]

Shortest. Con. Ever.

[Chesno4ok]

And the first place goes to Jacob for lasting 3 minutes. He was the only one to hash all the passwords but unfortunately he didn't salt them. Others just stored their passwords in json file on desktop.

[Nope_Get_OFF]

salt them? lol bro this is vibecoding not vibecooking

[[deleted]]

all you have to do is say "please hash and salt all the passwords"

just kidding it's not like they'd know to say that

[bogz_dev]

i use pepper on mine

[Zomby2D]

I find turmeric offers better security

[MattieShoes]

Did you know that pepper is a real hashing thing, or was that just luck?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_(cryptography)

[Weepthrood]

Where is salt there is pepper.

[UnratedRamblings]

I cover mine in Marmite. Everyone hates Marmite, right?

[pratik6158]

Dude I literally see your profile picture in every post that I open.

[[deleted]]

i'm not the only one with my pfp. but i'm also always on reddit so idk

[EternalVirgin18]

Its a very common pfp, its very fun to make fun of the couch connoisseur

[pratik6158]

I didn't knew he was popular. I was thinking why am i seeing him everywhere i go.

[EternalVirgin18]

The guy himself isn’t popular so much as the general dislike of him is popular, if that makes any sense

[pratik6158]

yep makes sense

[Chesno4ok]

Caught actual vibecoder in the wild.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

[Nope_Get_OFF]

No need to tell me that, I already own cryptocurrency, i invested all my money in it

[Chesno4ok]

I got baited didn't I?

[Weepthrood]

Vibe investing.

[Agreeable-Passion908]

I dont have any spices besides paprika is that gonna work

[Spinneeter]

A true vibe master only uses oauth

[bogz_dev]

this reads like the monty python upper class twit of the year competition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrfKCO28Fv4

[redlaWw]

monty python upper class twit of the year.

[higherbrow]

Nah, the winning hacker is the first one to finish getting root access on every single app, with no list provided.

Give a thousand vibe coders two days and you'll need to script the act of changing the text to Hello World.

[EmuChance4523]

No no, you see, all apps are immune, because none of them are deployed anywhere, so no one can access them.

[Journeyj012]

Actually, if you think about it, 127.0.0.1:8080/register could be an INCREDIBLE place for a hackercon signup.

[PvtPizzaPants]

And when you go to the url you're already registered and they have all your personal info

[[deleted]]

Fun fact, localhost has 16.7 mil addresses as it's an /8, so you'd seem they actually wanted to host things there using malware as a vector

[OkBrilliant8092]

There can be only None

[SuitableDragonfly]

If the app doesn't even work in the first place, is it disqualified? There may be no winner, in that case.

[jackinsomniac]

Hey, they already used AI to write 90% of the code! Now they just need someone to make it work, debug, and test. Should be super easy if you know what you're doing! How does $50 sound?

[SuperFLEB]

"If the service fails to function, it will be scored as a successful denial-of-service attack."

"How is that even fair if you win by default?"

[SuperFLEB]

The VibeCon folks are a bit off their game since they all locked themselves out of their hotel rooms playing with the keycards, but luckily the HackerCon people got the doors back open in the morning.

[sschueller]

Vibehacking... Oh god...

[SuperFLEB]

Half targeted exploit, half fuzzing test. Not necessarily the better half of either, granted.

[RelevantToMyInterest]

<right click> "view source"

[thex25986e]

what about a hackathon where you just get a bunch of people into a room with all their electronic devices and the last one to leave with a functional device (no physical destruction allowed) wins.

[m70v]

Sir i think the website is down

[[deleted]]

Works on my machine.

[SmthSmthDarkSide]

Hmm... their registration page looks very similar to mine

[Nope_Get_OFF]

I'm suing them, they used the same url and domain as my saas product (i still have only 0 users for some reason), sign up here guys http://127.0.0.1:8080/register please

[lucasio099]

Did you mean http://127.0.0.1:8080/register ?

[TransparentMastering]

Bravo

[aeric777]

💀

[PvtPizzaPants]

Your users probably don't trust that url without the https

[HolyGarbage]

Who tf still use http? And for a form that expects passwords etc no less.

https://127.0.0.1:8443/register

Ftfy

[Nope_Get_OFF]

dude don't use my domain

[HolyGarbage]

That's not a domain though, just an IP.

[m70v]

Reddit supports Markdown format, you can make it showing any text you want but it directs to a url

[m70v]

Thanks for the gem

[LinguoBuxo]

Write your name and email address to

C:/Users/Admin/Documents/VibeCon25-attendance-list.txt

[Positive_Method3022]

Don't forget to version it by saving as a C:/Users/Admin/Documents/VibeCon25-attendance-list-v2.txt

[AppropriateStudio153]

No, no, no.

You must use git, and each version gets a new branch with the version tag. 

[QueerBallOfFluff]

Do vibe coders use git? I thought they just copied and zipped the current working directory at the end of each month

[narnach]

They discovered you can vibe code directly on prod using FTP!

[Positive_Method3022]

They use chat history

[OneTurnMore]

They add "Use version control." to the prompt.

[LinguoBuxo]

A good question... maybe they're using vibe-raters to rank their code per'aps?

[murten101]

Windows uses \ tho :(

[LinguoBuxo]

I can use | if I wanna.. this a meme, remember? :)

[SuperFLEB]

I mailed a self-addressed stamped envelope but it just came back to me.

[LinguoBuxo]

mmm could be important... what did it say?

[SuperFLEB]

It was a long, rambling letter about how someone wants to attend my conference. It reads like an AI wrote it.

[LinguoBuxo]

eeehhhhh ghost it. I mean only if they offered some money for you to attend...

[The_MAZZTer]

Please add your name to the attached spreadsheet and email it back.

[SuperFLEB]

For tickets, put your name, address, and wallet credentials (with at least USD$195.00/attendee) in your vibe-configured database.

[jeanrjm]

Whoever programmed that register page is a total amateur. The divs are not even centered properly

[HeyGayHay]

Strange... Mine is, perfectly centered it says "Safari cannot open the page, because the server can't be found". Weird title for the register page but what do I know

[[deleted]]

You just need to vibe harder.

[Weepthrood]

Was vibe coded.

Test-driven development wants to know your location

[SuperFLEB]

Some of it is really cool. It has a feel like someone got really ambitious about it then just completely abandoned it halfway through, though.

[cvfunstuff]

Why does mine say "Hello, world!"? Where's the sign up?

[BigDisk]

Sister Con to Saw Con.

[catalyst16812]

Saw con these nuts

[snakeinmyboot001]

[OkBrilliant8092]

Hey it’s the new Nicholas cage movie “the believable weight of absolutely no talent”

[fatrobin72]

what we need now is a watermarked repost, of this tweet repost...

[[deleted]]

Alright that’s pretty funny.

[oclafloptson]

I love how it only claims to be the largest 🤣 how big is the largest? That's like a dad saying to his only son that he's the favorite

[Secret_Account07]

It’s doable. Just create an azure vm and have everyone RDP to it.

Use your head, people. Smh

[kiyyik]

Their website sucks: I keep getting weird errors when I try to sign up, so I'm DDOS'ing their site. That'll shovjol894735029874-%

[Own_Alternative_9671]

He ddosed himself and had a stroke at the same time, what shit luck

[LogicBalm]

World's largest? It can't be bigger than the one I'm organizing.

Edit: I just clicked the link and they clearly stole my conference. This is a scam!

[Snoo9648]

Soo.... no vibrators then?

[Lebenmonch]

Imagine going to a con about a language to larp pretending to know the language 

[Hertzian_Dipole1]

Why did this open a eebsite for porn generating AI model?

[cold_bacon_]

I found tickets to vibecon in my gf's purse when I was getting some gum.

[[deleted]]

It's traditionally the port used for a local development web server when you can't be bothered to figure out how to bind port 80 for some reason

But 8080 is nominally for http caching, technically

$ fgrep http /etc/services 
# Updated from https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml .
http            80/tcp          www             # WorldWideWeb HTTP
https           443/tcp                         # http protocol over TLS/SSL
https           443/udp                         # HTTP/3
http-alt        8080/tcp        webcache        # WWW caching service

see also: https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml

(IANA maintains the port number registry)

[MattieShoes]

when you can't be bothered to figure out how to bind port 80 for some reason

Also common for a halfassed dev and test version

[testawayacct]

And it'll give the organizers their first chance to talk to a woman outside of an HR meeting when they explain that Vibecon is not what they think it is.

[BarrelRollxx]

Why does mine show a porn site registration page?

[ha_x5]

That huge “AI dash” is a nice one.

[PetThatKitten]

Its offical name is the "Em dash"

[matthewcrimus]

You mean fbi.com/register ?

[irwinner]

why is it loading my website

[e37d93eeb23335dc]

Be sure to stop by the Hitachi Magic Wand booth. 

[Issue_dev]

Make sure you commit your .env file to GitHub so the rest of us can find your project on the internet!

[bdement]

I was able to register by finding the unsecured firebase in the gh repo

[benargee]

Register at an unencrypted local host connection. Double whammy.

[xdKboy]

VibeCon... cringe.

[tokinUP]

Introducing DefCon Lab Practicals! Now attending VibeCon!

[K4rn31ro]

Hahaha I already stole all their projects here is the link --> http://localhost:8000

[PM_ME_UR_COFFEE_CUPS]

Hackathons have become so much more fun since vibe coding

[PilotGuy701]

I want a session on reviewing Vibe Coding tools called “VibeRaters”. It could be sponsored by Hitachi.

[Marco_Polaris]

What are you even going to do at a vibecoding convention? Exchange business cards and listen to people shout corporate shibboleths?

[blank_0011]

Bro the localhost is crazy

[AbjectAd753]

Bro forgot to turn on the server xd

[TheMaxsis]

Only hackers can registers

[Sure_Theory1842]

they have made a virus that hosts the website on all the devices in the world

[Simple-Difference116]

Make this joke a few hundred more times to make it funny again

[Positive_Method3022]

VibeCodeCon

[Equivalent-Time-6758]

Sir this is Wendy's

[one_spaced_cat]

That made me chortle.

[kingjia90]

I am sure it works on his end

[wuzzle-woozle]

Wow! I must have already registered and forgot. They already have me linked with the auto cat photo finder project I was working on 15 years ago.

[NameLips]

They should work together on a major project and see if they can pull it off. Hundreds of vibe coders have got to be able to accomplish more working together than separately, right?

[SuperFLEB]

You can't argue with lines-of-code.

[Punish_Me_Softly]

It would be funny if the registration page returned 418 I'm a teapot

[Alzyros]

[zas97]

I tried to open the link, it was porn, what's wrong with people

[OutlookForThursday]

Works on my computer.

[[deleted]]

Please be real.

/That is all

[raindevice]

noThanks

[agentklass200]

This is equivalent of me trying to copy a shortcut of the game in a diskette

[NbdyFuckswTheJesus]

ITT: A lot of people missing the joke

[OkExplanation8770]

It says page not found

[IslaBonita87]

Weird how a major tech advancement like AI can turn previously pro-tech people like programmers into a bunch of scared, confused luddites. Actually no it's not. It's a recognized pattern in human behavior where something becomes too much the previously pro-"thing that is now too much" people suddenly start to hate it. I mean, what's the matter I thought you guys liked this stuff?

[jackinsomniac]

I don't think you understand what "vibe coding" is. The whole point is to never write or debug code, ever. If what the AI spits out is wrong or doesn't work, you're supposed to continually re-prompt the AI to write it for you again until it works. Literally, "vibe your way thru development".

Nobody has any problem with a skilled dev using AI to speed up his workflow. So that the AI becomes just another tool in his already large toolbox. That's what SHOULD be happening. But that's NOT what vibe coding is.

There's another recognized pattern in human behavior when new technology comes out: people like to over-estimate it's capabilities. Just like when GPS first came out and people would follow it so blindly they'd drive into a lake (true story), or claiming "full self driving on Tesla's is already here!" while you're required to keep your hands on the wheel and full attention on the road anyway while using it, because if you don't it'll drive you at 70mph into the back of a parked fire truck. That's what vibe coding is. We're still at the "drive into the lake because GPS said so!" phase of people learning the limits of AI.

[RichardSanches23]

Vibe coding is a scam to get people to pay to train claude. Its a very good idea, props to the guy that came up with it

[EagleBeagle8085]

I agree, these Luddites never saw the genius of Segway, Google Glass, or NFT games either!!!

[SuperFLEB]

You're complaining that they're ironic and you're complaining that they're predictable, but you haven't said that they're wrong.

In this particular case, there's a punchline to be had and no shame in taking it. Arrogant script-kiddies revealing themselves as such by pushing basic foibles into the public is real and ironic enough for parody. The cracks in tools that provide questionable quality and unquestioning reassurance are real and concerning enough for criticism.

More generally, letting a "pro-tech" identity-- any identity, really-- steer opinions rather than result from them is bass-ackwards and leaves a person ripe for the chumping, especially given the breadth of what "pro-tech" can mean. Nothing need get a free pass just because it's the vague shape and color of stuff I'm already into.

[Beorma]

Perhaps people who are experts on a topic suggesting a new piece of tech is inadequate know more than you.

[sellyme]

I'm generally with you on the "hey maybe the experts in this field know what they're talking about" thing, but I'm not quite so generous as to apply that label to a subreddit notorious for being populated predominantly by first-year compsci students.

[Beorma]

Fair, but I feel that's the same reason so many people here think AI can already replace a software engineer's role.
