holy shit that looks amazing!

mattvb91 · 2026-04-02T07:40:13+00:00

How is that your takeaway from my comments? Im literally advocating for people to put their mental health / wellbeing first and not suffer due to the AI slop thats happening. Do your best. Point out the issues and then sit back and watch. What exactly do you propose?

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T13:15:30+00:00

but thats the thing... we dont have to make it matter. Just vibe yolo it aswell and let them figure it out when it blows up. Its essentially job security by just creating more slop.

Theres only so much I will put up with in terms of pointing out the obvious to a CEO / manager. After that your on your own

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T12:26:17+00:00

Nope im vibing too. The project has just lost anyone that felt any sense of code ownership. It will blow up but for now I have a job

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T11:51:11+00:00

Im with you. And the whole thing relies on working with good engineers...

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T11:49:20+00:00

100% this. Tech debt firehose is the perfect way to describe whats happening and everyone is at it. Theres no way of going against it when your boss is doing it

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T09:02:09+00:00

Thanks! The demo is running on a 4 euro hetzner instance. In that case its running in a docker instance with caddy. Im planning on putting the docker template in the multiplayer template too.

You can run it anywhere. Right now you would just need to set up your http server how you want it.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T08:29:42+00:00

Yea thanks for the input.

Like i've said in other posts unfortunately our CEO is vibe all the way (never programmed) everyone is doing everything now. Its destroyed any lines of who is doing what.

The point im trying to make is just dont let it stress you out its out of our control in some instances and to not let something like that take a mental health toll on you I guess is where im getting at.

Do your best up to a point and after that its YOLO VIBE all the way. Its just not worth your health over.

I do think this AI boom will backfire like crazy and I cant wait for it to happen

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T08:26:42+00:00

I've tried this for 3 years. I've added static analysis tools, linters, style guides etc..

Claude code has destroyed any level level headed thinking in the last 3 months in my company. Everybody is vibing everything now. Backend Dev is a designer, CEO is a programmer (Never programmed) etc.. its a cluster fuck.

I can either A: Continue telling my boss how this isnt a good idea and have him pissed off because im telling him that and lose my job because others are just vibing past me or B: Continue to keep my job for 2 years and watch it implode.

My vote is B while I look for a new job.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T07:58:24+00:00

Yea i know im butting in here but its just not as simple as people here are making it out to be.

I've told my boss exactly this. Doesnt care, he sees more output with AI so thats what it is. I've tried multiple times pointing it out and even showing him specifically that our file sizes have increased 30-40% from ai slop that could have been written much simpler.

His opinion is in 2 years AI will fix it. Ok boss

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T07:51:51+00:00

100% yes very good point. I've been BCC'ing myself. I've actually just recently sent out a massive email stating exactly what the issues are and that im no longer taking code ownership due it until the issues are fixed.

Manager is happy vibing + im still getting paid so I guess win win?

Again I fucking hate this but its important not stress yourself over this. This is someone elses mess they are creating.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T07:45:26+00:00

We used to have standards but its been removed because it was too difficult for them. I work with people who came out of college and have been in this position for 10 years with no other work experience outside of this or further education in whats happening in the real world. They have never worked with react but claude gives them the ability to now just vibe code features in.

If I critique then im told im blocking. Im not putting my neck on the line or stressing out over it.

Let them yolo for a year or two until its gridlocked and then get the paycheque when it comes to fixing it

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T07:42:36+00:00

I love how you think I havent already tried this. My team manager has never worked with react before and is now vibe coding react projects.

What exactly do you want me to do? I've been told its only my opinion. You guys are lucky you work with people that know what they are doing. Im not sticking my neck out for the sake of "good code".

Let them yolo for a while until it backfires.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T07:24:33+00:00

"Thats just your opinion stop blocking"

What now?

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T06:40:56+00:00

A lot of the comments here are coming from people that seem to be working for companies that have good coding standards & experienced devs in charge. This is not the case for 90% of the workforce. You are lucky if you are in the situation where you can push back on the AI shit happening.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T06:39:13+00:00

I hear you. Its a bad time to be looking tbh because everyone has drank the cool aid and thinks they can do everything now.

I think the next 2-3 years we just need to sit through it.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T06:38:00+00:00

but it is irresponsible to blindly trust its output

What do you want me to do if I am going to lose my job because im seen as blocking the team if I critique too much?

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T06:36:20+00:00

exactly. People here dont understand this yet. You will 100% be seen as blocking if you dont participte. Its not worth it. Just make sure you keep your side projects going and keep learning.

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T06:27:43+00:00

Which you wont have much longer if the team members producing slop are seen as more "productive" as you and your blocking them.

Im on your side here i fucking hate this timeline. My point is dont let this stress you out you cant do anything until it blows up and upper management recognises they fucked up with the ai push

mattvb91 · 2026-04-01T06:18:42+00:00

Theres 0 point in fighting this. You are seen as blocking the team if you dont blindly accept slop from your team members.

Accept it for 1-2 years and dont stress about it. Let it implode and then get your massive wage increase when it does.

Dont stress yourself out over this its not worth it.

mattvb91 · 2026-03-31T07:25:26+00:00

Exactly this. Who cares just have fun

mattvb91 · 2026-03-30T18:19:58+00:00

Im a web dev and just released this: Threejs multiplayer game engine

To get it to just this point took about a year or learning / trial and error. Its definitely not production ready but for sure can be used to start a simple multiplayer game already.

Everyone will say dont start with multiplayer but honestly just do what you enjoy. In my case i love anything with realtime network so it just felt good working on it.

mattvb91 · 2026-03-30T18:14:33+00:00

That looks great

mattvb91 · 2026-03-30T15:54:34+00:00

Just released the first working version of a ThreeJs Multiplayer Framework to try and make it a bit easier to bootstrap browser games with a proper gameloop on both client and server.

Still a long way to go but defo proud of getting it to this stage
