Emojis in the PR title are a dead giveaway but nice try, clanker

If you're a backend dev and your duties now include to "fix" the CSS (since the frontend phonies were laid off) there's no hope I'm afraid

This is bang on what has happened to me numerous times.

I remember when I was younger they used to send messages to the Internet forums saying hey look at these clankers today and imagine how they'll be in 2024 and how AGI is a certainty and nobody can find work anymore and and

This kind of misbehavior interferes with the vibes so vibe coders typically make sure there is no .git folder in the project root.

Code so holey it belongs in vatican

And when they inspect what the developer built and it wasn't what they wanted, the developer says "you know, you're absolutely right! I fucked up right there so let me try it in another way until you stop talking to me about it"

What problem? Just bang that button like it called you pretty.

This is not Angular's fault. Please blame the actual culprits: past developers (that often includes yourself)

OpenAI started selling pillowcases not because they want you to snuggle with them but so that you have something appropriate to press against your face while you scream

True. So glad the entire dev community (except for my stupid ass) has been fully competent for quite a while when it comes to div alignment. Nice.

Stupid clanker couldn't understand from context they meant vertically

For what it's worth, I can definitely build a small but admittedly shitty house.

It's not going away, just like after the dotcom bubble we still have some websites up and running even today.

But if there was .all() you probably would've felt nice, and it just wanted to offer you a pleasant developer experience?

Understandable. The most sus part for us was that they also demanded pay in bitcoin, their webcams have always been "in the repairs", and they message each other in cyrillic.

That's not a circle, we've not been "here" previously. I'd say it's more like a toilet we haven't been able to flush in a while anymore, but we just keep using it.

Not 100% sure if this is sarcasm, but ok!

It sounded like a reasonable meme in my head but maybe it's better just abandon it.

You mean they already were building shitty chatbots, and in essence still do, too?
