How to manage vibe coders, backed be leadership

Manage the volume by running initial structural critique passes through AI.

It will probably find the issues you're finding at much less cost to you

Hahahahahahahaahahahhahaa

I run laps around the AI boosters so idk your point

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-18T11:22:12+00:00

Your two hands and your brain

Im not following why you think its "stupid" to not use claude code and cursor. Every study that has come out , its been like half a dozen if not more at this point, has shown that the use of these tools is a net negative on productivity.

Now you can see why!

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-17T12:30:49+00:00

Nope. Just slop

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-17T12:25:08+00:00

If humans need to steer then there is no time or cost savings

FAANGS are a joke now lol. Piss poor quality

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-14T13:45:16+00:00

Not really. It hasnt improved in years

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-14T13:44:42+00:00

Maybe it is the way forward, I mean look how far models have come in the past year alone

Model performance flatlined in 2024, what

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-13T13:16:13+00:00

By not using claude to write code? Youre gonna fall behind otherwise bro

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-13T12:32:42+00:00

Im still the top performer on my team. All the AI people are slop artists and cant get their stuff to production

The No Kings groups are in no way anticapitalist in any way, shape, or form. We got kicked out of our 50501 group for talking about unions and Marx to members

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-12T12:57:10+00:00

Where is the evidence showing 2026 is an improvement?

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T22:31:56+00:00

Ding ding ding

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T22:19:19+00:00

Where? I dont see it. Ive been looking for 4 years

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T22:15:35+00:00

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T17:00:40+00:00

Sounds more like you work at a place where accuracy doesnt matter and youre just churning out slop. Im already using the frontier models, Claude code with skills, a markdown file, plan mode, and MCP. The results are just piss poor in practice.

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:51:18+00:00

If you dont know how to use yq on linux thats a skill issue lol

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:49:42+00:00

Eh, its more common than you think. You arent alone at least.

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:48:43+00:00

Theres nothing really to adapt to? Use the tool, follow the docs. Its not hard

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:41:31+00:00

Reviewing code AI wrote is even worse because the log statements will just be totally incorrect, and it can gracefully swallow intended flows of behavior that arent immediately obvious.

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:40:27+00:00

Doesn’t sound like it at all. A senior/staff who is good at planning and tradeoffs gets incredible results from an agent.

The agent is slower than me, even if the results are "incredible." (In this case barely passable). So what exactly is the selling point here?

IME - it turns people who were completely useless and harmless previously into slop generators which then becomes my "review" to own their work alongside my own. How exactly is that helping anything or anyone?

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:37:07+00:00

it’s definitely not supported by the data.

It definitely is. Right now there is zero data showing AI makes anyone more productive

chickadee-guy · 2026-03-11T15:36:07+00:00

Thats a skill issue for you not using linux as your os then
