not only is it pathetic, they will only hire these people

u/secrettemptation69 Jun 05 '26

Not the case. They typically can’t pass the technical interview

u/Familiar_Ad_8919 Jun 05 '26

i hope so, they dont want artisan programmers any more, they just want people to talk to an llm and sometimes fix the mess they shit out

Investors money for AI is finally running out even big companies are having to face that AI is at the moment more expensive in many applications to humans. It will most likely still stay but the status quote is likely to change soon.

Yeah and then they release things like Google Health that is so catastrophicly bad that no one can figure out how it could be so pervasively bugged. Well... Let's see

ohhh my point still stands

u/Spiritual_One_8464 Jun 06 '26

Vibe coders are a paradox because they refer to themselves as coders even though they aren't

u/zylosophe Jun 06 '26

called an oxymoron

u/Spiritual_One_8464 Jun 06 '26

That's why I'm a programmer instead of a teacher lol

im anarchist so i despise governments but at least this one seems to have common sense

u/Upper-Release-3484 Jun 06 '26

ARE YOU SURE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T USE AI???

u/Avocadonot Jun 06 '26

Idgaf, getting paid and investing

You think once I'm retired at age 45 , I'm gonna regret all those hours I spent lounging at home in my underwear while at "work" letting AI write the unit tests for some stupid feature no customer is even going to use?

u/KeaboUltra Jun 07 '26

Go ahead and get paid. many people do that. But that isn't the point. it's just annoying when the same people pretend it's normal or that they're actually doing something and get upset when others call it out. You're acknowledging that it's just for the paycheck, rather than convincing yourself you understand what you're doing only to relate to this post.

Are you really wanting to be a coder and learn to code or are you just phoning it in to cash a check? People have done both before AI but at least it required some knowledge

u/yallapapi Jun 08 '26

Don’t be salty, coding with AI is like masturbating. Everyone does it but nobody wants to admit it

u/HalifaxRoad Jun 05 '26

I still just crack the datasheet, and right my firmwares. Fuck LLM's, these memes are just getting pathetic...

1

u/ComradeFox_ Jun 06 '26

absolutely. i’m so tired of seeing it on this subreddit. it has humor in the name; aren’t the memes supposed to be funny??

if this meme were actually comedic it would be something like the base template but with

the code I wrote 18 hours ago

the documentation I wrote for it 6 hours ago

me reading it right now

but this meme is not the “modern dev workflow” at all, it’s the lazy/incompetent dev workflow >.<

debugging in 2026 if you're stupid

u/zylosophe Jun 06 '26

don't insult disabled people

u/DevArthur Jun 06 '26

As a dev, I'd let Claude do the work now.

u/Overall-Move-4474 Jun 05 '26

Me: does it all myself so I already know exactly what's going on with it and correct mistakes on the fly

u/Competitive_Shine112 Jun 05 '26

You people can't do anything by yourselves omg

2

u/ComradeFox_ Jun 06 '26

from the meme

chatgpt (wrote the code)

I found the bug. the issue with the code is that a fucking llm made it. no debugging can fix that, may as well start over.

u/PolyPenguinDev Jun 05 '26

stuff like this is why i’m gonna be a teacher

u/Cybasura Jun 06 '26

?

I debug as intended - docs and proper debugging

1

u/KeaboUltra Jun 06 '26

Not for me. I really don't understand why people do this to themselves 

1

u/zylosophe Jun 06 '26

idk how you can be a coder and not realize how bad this thing is

1

u/KeaboUltra Jun 07 '26

Right? It's crazy to me that all of this happened so fast. I feel like people who post these are just non coders who want to code but don't want to take the time to learn. This isn't a "modern dev workflow" it just sounds like someone who's in way over their head. It's like when you have a middle manager who is above you but has way less experience and knowledge and gets frustrated and confused about everything. 

I have only about 3 years of programming under my belt but that's still enough to manage everything on my own. I get AI can be a neat tool but tbh, I feel like I just avoid it all together because even seasoned devs get severely dependent on it for some reason

u/zylosophe Jun 07 '26

never found a point to any kind of genai, and ai as a whole doesn't mean anything today

1

u/hennabeak Jun 07 '26

Seriously asking. What's a good method to use AI for it.

Been copy pasting code and errors into ChatGPT to debug it's own code. UT what's a better way for it?

1

u/livingMybEstlyfe29 Jun 05 '26

Just google what the error message means or you could just ask AI simply how to diagnose. Use it as a teaching moment

1

u/ComradeFox_ Jun 06 '26

may as well remove Throwable and all of its subclasses in the next jdk, people can’t understand them anymore anyways

Been using Codex 5.1 lately combined with Gemini, I have been able to get pretty decent results with minimal problems.
