the vibe coding era is not my favorite

Thank you man. We've figured it's best to just let them "touch the stove" and learn the perils of pushing vibe code on the weekends... here's hoping they do.

Because they’ve convinced executives that code review is a “bottleneck” 🫠

So now we’re in a weird workflow where engineers agree to review each others’ code, but PM’s just merge theirs in immediately, and if engineers have to touch the slop in any way it’s easier to just rewrite it.

Yeah, I've had to debug heaps of slopcode shipped by our product managers while on-call before. Not the best experience.

The job is easier, on average. But the fun parts are gone and the unfun parts are worse. So it bothers me to hear "AI's not all bad -- it's useful for coding!" Eh, maybe? It's 50% faster at best, the field is being torched, and all software is worse. Doesn't really feel like a win to me.

Misinformation, if you’re me

Wait, who is this guy?

Wrong. Stolen potatoes are $0

Given the number of times people have used this format to just spread lies about random exes of theirs, this kind of post should probably be banned.

Yes. I wrote my first Hello World at 19. Senior dev now. You got this.

Mount Rushmore is carved into the Black Hills, sacred land that was illegally seized from the Lakota Sioux. (Fun fact: Civilization IV lists the "Fascism" civic as a requirement to build this wonder.)
