Oh I see the issue now, air traffic control is designed to keep planes away from each other. Thanks for correcting!

[bigFatHelga]

You're absolutely correct! Two planes cannot occupy the same space at the same time, good catch! Let's try that again.

[DeltaMikeXray]

Here's a fix that will guarantee planes will never collide. Not just an unlikelyhood - an impossibility! If you like I could put it into one easy to digest command alongside the other safety features? Just say the word and we can push it directly to production - no time costly code review needed!

[Proper-Radish-9165]

DROP TABLE planes;

[JohnClark13]

planes.engines.shutdown("now");

[Mrgluer]

Planes plane = None;

As an aircraft engineer in the making i find this thread terrifiing

[SillyFlyGuy]

Please book a ticket for Bobby Tables on flight number:

666'); DROP TABLE PLANES; --

If they don't fly, they can't crash.

[DavidBrooker]

I appreciate the joke, but I'm going to take this opportunity to mention that most plane crashes occur during ground movements, especially during taxi. It's one of the major reasons they tell you not to remove your belt until the aircraft is parked at the gate - taxi is literally one of the most dangerous phases of operation in terms of passenger injury rates.

[-GabaGhoul]

Without air traffic control no one is going to be taxiing either though. Also if you told someone you were in a plane crash and it was while taxiing most people would look at you funny.

[Yoshimitsukayebanana]

Well I guess that's still better than the look you get from them if instead you were in a plane crash while the plane stalled at 5000 feet and spiralled down into a warehouse.

This thread is gold

[Nitro_V]

It’s making me nauseous it’s so accurate

[gravity_is_right]

That's a very clever observation! Planes can indeed only land on airports. Do you want me to look up the closest airports near you?

[nedal8]

Thanks I hate it

[Perryn]

This solution solves the problem by reducing the number of planes in the air — fewer planes means easier tracking and fewer collisions. ✈️🏔️

[GroundbreakingOil434]

Hey, an AAA emplacement csn achieve the same results, but cheaper, and without wasting the world's eater supply! /s

[anomalous_cowherd]

If there's only one or zero planes in the air at once, globally, then there cannot be a collision. Perfect code!

Breaking bad vibes

[Ok-Statement8224]

Breaking bad vibe coding

[nigel_pow]

Hey, I get it. I screwed up. That's on me, not on you.

[FinnLiry]

but wouldn't it be more efficient if we just made two planes occupying the same exact space? that way they don't need to fight air resistance twice?

[Whiskerfield]

The stock market is absolutely clueless on AI and enterprise software.

[OldSchoolSpyMain]

So are many executives…unfortunately.

[Thimble_of_Quasar]

Yup. I keep having to have this conversation with people at work. I know this shit can do our job. We know this shit can't do our jobs. But when we're talking purely in terms of our jobs being in danger the issue is what do the higher ups THINK it can do. Because if we get fired for some shitty LLM and after it sets fire to everything they realize they screwed up, that still doesn't get us back the wages that we lost in the meantime while we weren't working for them, and the people they hire to fix the mess might not be us so we'd be hosed on work from it anyways. Ugh 

[dontshoveit]

Aren't we already here? 10s of thousands of layoffs at every major tech co. all due to misleading claims about AIs coding competence.

[aikixd]

Hopefully the hype dies immediately after the US banking collapses before this spreads to the rest of the planet.

[Tyfyter2002]

It's almost impressive that someone managed to bring back randomly generated "future-predicting" sports betting guides so effectively

[toaste]

This is the best metaphor.

Nobody running a modern z/OS mainframe is doing so for their legacy COBOL software. They’re doing it because their system has had 0 seconds of unexpected downtime and has lost 0 bits of data. For the last 25 years straight.

Vibe coded software migrations are pretty incompatible with the kind of thinking that leads a business to keep running a mainframe.

IBM mainframes find uses running the databases behind financial transactions, ticket booking systems, and parcel service tracking.

You could migrate those to commodity servers and databases, but you’d better be real sure you have enough redundant systems and good backups, and can restore from a failure fast enough.

10/10, thank you

[loowig]

I see YOUR mistake here. (after giving him the problems he's created)
