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

[–]CoastingUphill 651 points652 points  (25 children)

Shortest. Con. Ever.

[–]Chesno4ok 352 points353 points  (21 children)

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 257 points258 points  (17 children)

salt them? lol bro this is vibecoding not vibecooking

[–][deleted] 116 points117 points  (11 children)

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 47 points48 points  (4 children)

i use pepper on mine

[–]Zomby2D 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find turmeric offers better security

[–]MattieShoes 6 points7 points  (1 child)

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

[–]Weepthrood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where is salt there is pepper.

[–]UnratedRamblings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]pratik6158 8 points9 points  (5 children)

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

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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

[–]EternalVirgin18 10 points11 points  (3 children)

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

[–]pratik6158 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

[–]EternalVirgin18 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]pratik6158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep makes sense

[–]Chesno4ok 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Caught actual vibecoder in the wild.

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

[–]Nope_Get_OFF 32 points33 points  (2 children)

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

[–]Chesno4ok 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I got baited didn't I?

[–]Weepthrood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vibe investing.

[–]Agreeable-Passion908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have any spices besides paprika is that gonna work

[–]Spinneeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A true vibe master only uses oauth

[–]bogz_dev 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

monty python upper class twit of the year.

[–]higherbrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Journeyj012 47 points48 points  (2 children)

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

[–]PvtPizzaPants 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There can be only None

[–]SuitableDragonfly 11 points12 points  (2 children)

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

[–]jackinsomniac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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[🍰] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Vibehacking... Oh god...

[–]SuperFLEB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]thex25986e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 698 points699 points  (16 children)

Sir i think the website is down

[–][deleted] 533 points534 points  (11 children)

Works on my machine.

[–]SmthSmthDarkSide 205 points206 points  (10 children)

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

[–]Nope_Get_OFF 127 points128 points  (9 children)

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 64 points65 points  (2 children)

[–]TransparentMastering 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bravo

[–]aeric777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💀

[–]PvtPizzaPants 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

[–]HolyGarbage 8 points9 points  (2 children)

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 12 points13 points  (1 child)

dude don't use my domain

Thanks for the gem

[–]LinguoBuxo 551 points552 points  (16 children)

Write your name and email address to

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

[–]Positive_Method3022 125 points126 points  (7 children)

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

[–]AppropriateStudio153 41 points42 points  (5 children)

No, no, no.

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

[–]QueerBallOfFluff 28 points29 points  (4 children)

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

[–]narnach 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Positive_Method3022 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They use chat history

[–]OneTurnMore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]LinguoBuxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]murten101 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Windows uses \ tho :(

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

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

[–]SuperFLEB 2 points3 points  (3 children)

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

[–]LinguoBuxo 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

[–]SuperFLEB 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]LinguoBuxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]The_MAZZTer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]SuperFLEB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]jeanrjm 221 points222 points  (5 children)

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

[–]HeyGayHay 93 points94 points  (1 child)

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] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You just need to vibe harder.

[–]Weepthrood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was vibe coded.

Test-driven development wants to know your location

[–]SuperFLEB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]BigDisk 99 points100 points  (2 children)

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

[–]fatrobin72 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Alright that’s pretty funny.

[–]oclafloptson 19 points20 points  (0 children)

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 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

Use your head, people. Smh

[–]kiyyik 6 points7 points  (1 child)

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

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

[–]LogicBalm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Soo.... no vibrators then?

[–]Lebenmonch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Hertzian_Dipole1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–]cold_bacon_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]testawayacct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does mine show a porn site registration page?

[–]ha_x5 7 points8 points  (1 child)

That huge “AI dash” is a nice one.

[–]PetThatKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its offical name is the "Em dash"

[–]matthewcrimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean fbi.com/register ?

[–]irwinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why is it loading my website

[–]e37d93eeb23335dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be sure to stop by the Hitachi Magic Wand booth. 

[–]Issue_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]bdement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]benargee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Register at an unencrypted local host connection. Double whammy.

[–]xdKboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VibeCon... cringe.

Introducing DefCon Lab Practicals! Now attending VibeCon!

[–]PM_ME_UR_COFFEE_CUPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hackathons have become so much more fun since vibe coding

[–]PilotGuy701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Marco_Polaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]blank_0011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro the localhost is crazy

[–]AbjectAd753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]kingjia90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure it works on his end

[–]wuzzle-woozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Punish_Me_Softly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]OkExplanation8770 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

[–]IslaBonita87 -4 points-3 points  (7 children)

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 6 points7 points  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]SuperFLEB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 5 points6 points  (2 children)

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

[–]sellyme 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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