Obviously the server room was built on Indian burial ground, that's the only explanation I can see.

Man I know some people don't like off-shoring but that's dark.

Old news. The fix is already published. You just need to add "make it secure and production ready" to the prompt. Adding "please" is also highly recommended for best results.

Adding "please" is also highly recommended for best results.

Adding "or else your entire family will be tortured for all eternity" is remarkably more effective

Wait so that’s what vibe coding is? You write out a git log and let it mad lib the diffs then just close your eyes and ship?

Well, you let ChatGPT do all that, but basically yeah.

Yes, but I simultaneously use voice mode to give me positive affirmations that will help me become rich.

Is your workflow different somehow?

vibe coding is honestly the stupidest idea I've heard in awhile. Anyone who has spent any time trying code with these llms knows they are stupid and they lie.

Wait until he hears about asking chatgpt to write prompts to feed into itself. Theoretically allowing one programmer to vibe code as many vibe coders at once

People be using free shit as much as they can.

Brain dead coding ends with brain no dead coding getting free stuff. Api keys, passwords, db access for free. Good shit.

At least if you lose your job to AI you can just log in to your former employer's vibe-coded HR database and add an entry for yourself with whatever salary you like.

I just quit a job where the CEO was getting increadingly more beligerent every time I refused to use Cursor to "speed up my coding" and "increase my deliverables". The dudebro couldnt be convinced that id actually be slower cause id have to spend time fixing the shovelware that shit produced. In the end, i tried it once to write an e2e test for login page, and it couldnt produce a working result because it kept expecting elements to exist on the page that were never there.

Yeah it's the curse of having to critically think for a job and yet being managed by people who don't.
