if you are shipping 3 major updates in a single day, something probably went super wrong.

My code would look like this:

if{x>0}

positivecountplusplus;

no, not that, I mean positivecountplusplus;

No! I mean increment positivecount;

NO! Erase, stop typing all that;

Erase last four lines;

FUCK!;

{endif}

I can only assume they're saying prompts for vibevoded slop, not trying to write actual code verbally.

"Like, do that thing where it counts by one until it gets to a predefined number, but make that number equal to the number of statements. But, like, do it where it doesn't suck like last time.

"Nooooo, why does it keep counting to 2? Now 3? 4?!"

[–] WanakaTree@lemmy.zip 42 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You forgot to say "Only write correct code" in your instructions

If you can get past the background noise, this is one of my favorite old YouTube videos and it’s basically this: Windows Vista Speech Recognition Test

this is what happens when you let someone who gets stuck in vim make a company

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

As if these people have heard of vim

But yes

Three major updates before the coffee's done brewing brings to mind a team scrambling to fix a fuck up, fucking up even more, then scrambling to fix that on top of the original fuck up.

Needs to be more furry, for that extra touch.

Maybe pig-snout shapped, and with pig-ear headphones.

Ths guy types like an LLM too.

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (9 children)

Does no one else type faster than they talk?

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bigger question: who the fuck is bottlenecked by their typing speed?

You can't vibe code your way out of needing to know what to build, how it fits together with what you have, or the things that actually make the job tricky.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

You forget that I can now describe the code I want faster than I can write it. Frankly it's irrelevant if the code at the end doesn't do what I want or that I don't know what it does. The speed, baby. Never before could I push this much code this fast. 200+ new bugs a day, four times as fast as I used to be pushing features. The code base is worse than it's ever been and it's only going to get faster from here. This is the future, baby - the vibe coder

Why the hell would it be a good thing to withhold knowledge from junior devs?

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 76 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

What I've read is it's meant to keep crosstalk from multiple devs using AI at once from messing up each other's work. So everyone can just vibe code and not have any idea what they're doing in their own little space.

I love how this ad is an apologia whose explicit premise is that you will lose the respect of your colleagues, but they’ll be fired and you won’t so their opinion shouldn’t matter to you. Was this written by Dwight from The Office?

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 29 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They start so strong(?) and then end with “it doesn’t look stupid, YOU look stupid!”

Is this image satire? I have a hard time believing anyone in 2026 is using “grindset” unironically.

3 major updates in the morning and 30 major bug reports during the rest of the day?

Absolute cope pretending that typing speed is somehow the limiting factor here

Good to see that 100x developers still don't get their own office, just a gimp mask.

Wearing a surgical mask to protect others is tyrannical, but wearing this fucking muzzle to maximize profits for your corpo overlords is freedom. Get it right!

shipped three major updates

Aside from what's obviously wrong with that from a technical point of view...as a user I loathe this shit. Like, you think I love it, if your shitty software is nagging me every three hours to update?

Hold on a second, I remember these things being sold a couple of years ago... The only difference was that they were marketed towards gamers so you could scream slurs without mother taking away your Good-Boy-Points™️

Here's the kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/metadox/the-phasma-a-voice-dampening-mask-for-gamers

That ad-copy... The producers of an infomercial would have told them to tone it down.

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I guess if you wear one of these you are probably expected to speak to the AI so much that you won't have the time to think about how ridiculous your job is and how insane you look.

"Verbally shipped 3 updates"

=> telling the thing to upload said update instead of clicking it.

Wow very impressive.

The keyboard era is officially over

They're dreaming of keyboards being taken off the market entirely one day when this goes mainstream, and I'm imagining trying to play a video game going "W, W, W, A, A, S, S, W, W SPACEBAR, W SPACEBAR GOD DAMNIT I DIED AGAIN I can't even get past the tutorial on this shitty game"
