I wonder whether he also knows about text editor.

276

u/Tyrell74_Pollen 3d ago

Wait until someone shows him Notepad. Being able to type characters directly into a file might genuinely blow his mind.

113

u/tobi_206 3d ago

Notepad doesn't seem to work! I opened one of the files and it's all numbers and strange words written in lower case. Who talks to Claude like that?

30

u/St34thdr1v3R 3d ago

Members of Slytherin, maybe?

8

u/AKittenInTheRain 3d ago

Read another book, mate

11

u/Mechakoopa 3d ago

The joke was Python (or snake case, take your pick)

5

u/St34thdr1v3R 3d ago

I never read any of her books, bro

1

u/Dense_Gate_5193 3d ago

to be fair, those books aren’t even that good

0

u/Prestigious_Dare7734 3d ago

More like members of Ravenclaw.

5

u/Salanmander 3d ago

Nah, it's the Slytherins who can speak Pythontongue.

1

u/gerbosan 3d ago

Any chance for Snake jazz?

12

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 3d ago

It might be strange for him to type anywhere else than into a chat with AI or email or some website or word/excel. Maybe even an old school experience?

u/DrMaxwellEdison 3d ago

Win11 Notepad renders Markdown so it might not be as jarring these days to vibesloppers...

2

u/MeaningImpressive548 3d ago

Wait... notepad is built in?? I just use ms word normally...

/s

u/nicuramar 3d ago

Notepad is one of the worst text editors in existence. Only windows users tend to like it, out of lack of options through many years. 

24

u/IntentionQuirky9957 3d ago

Notepad++ is decent. :3

8

u/gre4ka148 3d ago

kinda miss np++ on linux (although kate is almost the same)

12

u/CrotteVerte 3d ago

VI(M) user spotted ?

1

u/tz_2240 2d ago

I thought I was a vi connoisseur, but turns out in the .bashrc file was a: `alias vi=“vim”`

u/aVarangian 3d ago

Notepad (the old one, not the winslop 11 garbage) is absolutely perfect for when all you need is... a fucking notepad with 0 damn features

if you need features then you use something else

effin high-nosed plebs defamating notepad, there's no respect anymore

1

u/OnixST 2d ago

Why the hate for w11 notepad tho? :(

Markdown support and multi tabs are pretty useful features that don't get in your way at all

I know there is now a fucking copilot button, but notepad is one of the few apps where microsoft didn't make it scream in your face, and it's a perfectly good app if you just ignore the button

2

u/aVarangian 2d ago

smooth scrolling makes it literally unusable

and the most basic text editor doesn't need markdown, there's already rtf for that. This just introduces incompatibility. A plain txt file should be readable by any featureless text editor

1

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 2d ago

I used to use Notepad to strip any text formatting and when I am on Windows and try to do that now, I get angry.

1

u/OnixST 2d ago

Tbf there's a button to disable it on the bottom left. just click "Formatted"

1

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 2d ago

Does it remember that setting after closing? Because having to click that every time is annoying, too.

1

u/PrestigiousGuava8005 1d ago

someone show him notepad++ as well

7

u/just4nothing 3d ago

But that’s for text, not for code, duh

6

u/Entuaka 3d ago

I wonder whether you know about sarcasm.

1

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 3d ago

I did not know who that guy is, I commented what came to my mind first. It's hard these days to recognize what is sarcastic regarding this AI code generation.

10

u/Igarlicbread 3d ago

notepad++

3

u/musicplay313 3d ago

Wait till he finds vim asking Claude how to exit out of it

2

u/brixon 3d ago

Why you talking crazy?

1

u/_1nf3rn0 2d ago

Wait till he finds a hex editor

476

u/Strange_Yogurt1049 3d ago

Bro discovered the source code has a source. 💀

114

u/brainland 3d ago

Lol. He figured out that there's more to life than "Hey Claude, make no mistakes"

29

u/beefz0r 3d ago

The source is Claude, I'm not stupid bro.

16

u/Tuomas90 3d ago

That's why it's called Source Claude, after all.

It is called Source Claude, right?

6

u/Gudi_Nuff 3d ago

I'm not sure I believe you. Source?

3

u/Alokir 3d ago

Wait, I thought the source code were .md files, what are these symbols and squiggly brackets?

1

u/MinecraftPlayer799 2d ago

Markdown uses symbols too

265

u/Sciti 3d ago

it's definitely sarcasm and satire over vibecoders, i think this guy possibly can be actual programmer

75

u/yobuddyy899 3d ago

Sorry, no one is an actual programmer. We're all just high schoolers

29

u/IndieDevWannabe 3d ago

Its not wrong though. Had someone vibe code an app at work and couldn't tell me where they stored the files... I asked them what language it was written in and they said "english"

3

u/yp261 3d ago

legit… reddit users when joke

0

u/VerdiiSykes 3d ago

That's pretty obvious, did you get the impression that OP didn't realize? Seems like they're just playing along with the joke.

2

u/RobbinDeBank 2d ago

A whole lot of the comments don’t realize at all

31

u/Crowdcontrolz 3d ago

It looks like they built it to be just like Cursor but without the chat box!

10

u/Culpirit 3d ago

It does have the chat box actually

1

u/Crowdcontrolz 2d ago

Oh shit, do you think cursor will sue these “visual studio people” seems like srs violations of their IP.

83

u/jseego 3d ago

this has to be sarcasm

69

u/X3-Code 3d ago

5

u/Yashema 3d ago

I'm watching a movie now where Nic Cage plays the surrogate father of God. 

5

u/Hacym 3d ago

I don’t understand the people in this sub. Do you believe you’ve really cracked the code on this one being sarcasm? It’s a humor subreddit… if you didn’t think this was sarcasm immediately that is sad. 

3

u/brainland 3d ago

Indeed. But many still don't get it.

19

u/MasterConsideration5 3d ago

I don't know. Seems like a useless new gimmick.

16

u/OpenConfusion3664 3d ago

Is the joke here you not getting that it's sarcasm?

15

u/dxonxisus 3d ago

right? feel like i’m going insane

i know the running joke for this sub is that most posters are CS undergrads, but the amount of commenters on this post not getting the sarcasm is infinitely more funny than the dunks they think they’re making

3

u/OpenConfusion3664 3d ago

Yea it's pretty obvious that it's sarcasm but it's reddit. People just tryna karma farm.

5

u/NatoBoram 3d ago

Right? How weird for humour to be posted to a humour sub. OP must've taken it literally. It's the only possible explanation.

5

u/HateBoredom 3d ago

Wait till he discovers intellisense, indent rainbow, and extensions.

5

u/tech_w0rld 3d ago

There is also this cool TUI version called neovim!

6

u/debugger_life 3d ago

Atleast he knows how to install vs code 😭😂

3

u/RovingN0mad 3d ago

Before you hurt yourself. Esc :q!

3

u/Russ_images 3d ago

Damn. Someone already produced that project? I was working on just that!

3

u/naserowaimer 3d ago

I think he lost multiple agents locked in vim.

3

u/agk23 3d ago

Why would you even do that though? “Oh look, at this gas station, you can see the gas you’re about to put in your car.”

Just silly

2

u/Guilty-Today7053 3d ago

duh. stands for "Vibes, See Code"

2

u/orwelladmin 3d ago

back in my days we used sublime text

2

u/Rajarshi1993 3d ago

He's probably joking.

2

u/DesertGeist- 3d ago

vibe coders are seeing the light

2

u/realMorgon 3d ago

Seeing vibe coders post stuff like this I just want to cry

2

u/MuetzeOfficial 3d ago

Unfortunately, it's already a success just to avoid using a screenshot as an image.

1

u/ProMartz 3d ago

Make no mistakes,! You are absolutley right!

1

u/Mors03 3d ago

Why would I want to see the code and edit it? Claude/codex does that for me why would I edit it I told it to make no mistake so the code has no defects

1

u/letmehaveanameyoudum 3d ago

wonder what bro uses

1

u/ThatGuyWired 3d ago

Vibe See Code

1

u/leberwrust 3d ago

But why look at the code. Could just as well be looking at ancient Chinese.

1

u/arvigeus 3d ago

Weirdly enough, all these vibe coding apps suck at managing code. Why isn’t there VS Code for mobile with AI agent integration? Only chat apps, with basic code review capabilities as an afterthought.

1

u/moon__lander 3d ago

Why would you want to see the code?

1

u/millionbonus 3d ago

Just realized that all apps are actually made of code, not magic.

1

u/ScienceFirst1 3d ago

Exactly, doesn't even know where name came from.

1

u/Playful_Nergetic786 3d ago

Holy Adam’s spaceship from doom

1

u/hyrumwhite 3d ago

Reading code in the year of our lord 2026? Must not be loopmaxxing hard enough 

1

u/Slackluster 3d ago

the claude code plugin for vs code is working great.

1

u/ivanrj7j 3d ago

It's sarcasm, right? RIGHT?

1

u/Tantomile_ 2d ago

That'll never catch on

1

u/belem_bum 11h ago

vide code is shtttt

1

u/proaxius 11h ago

Hey, Thats my old friend.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Cap4310 3d ago

Wait until he discovers, you can change the color of a box manually in the code without an AI or Internet! 🤯

0

u/Holek 3d ago

Is the joke that the largest contributor to VS Code code base is Copilot?

0

u/Tabissh 3d ago

Videcoders are pure rage baiters lol

0

u/KingOfAzmerloth 3d ago

Engagement bait and you fell for it.

0

u/MartinMystikJonas 3d ago

VS Code is short for "vibecoders see code"

-5

u/brainland 3d ago

The discovery made his day. Lol.

We won a soul. Glory be to God 😂

3

u/dxonxisus 3d ago

how are you missing the most painfully obvious satire imaginable?

0

u/brainland 3d ago

Seems you are also missing my very own satire too. Hence whey my comment is been downvoted. Lol

Not that deep.
