I overheard a woman at my job say “Your whole personality revolves around what you hate instead of what you love and thats an awful way to live.” to the resident vocal Maga in the breakroom.
He was stunned into silence for at least 60 seconds so that was nice.
Sure AI might poison the lands around us, contribute to mass psychosis, raise our energy costs, steal all of our art and intellectual property without repercussion, exploit workforces in poor countries, give execs reasons to fire you, and ultimately widen the wealth gap, but at least we’ll have a little guy on our phones telling us things a google search already could’ve!
The whole-chested unironic endorsement of the term “vibe coding” by the industry makes me feel insane. Like someone called it stupid-idiot coding and the whole industry said “yeah that. That’s what I’m selling you.”
“I did this just by vibes” describes a project you did with no real planning, design, foresight, or critical thinking. It’s winging-it in the flavor of “I was chill just seeing what happened.”
That is completely fine for like. A fun little craft. A go with the flow recipe. A music riff you’re just feeling out. Not engineering.
The tech industry SHOULD be the first ones sounding the alarm on “what the fuck do you mean you just vibed this out” but we’re in the stupid fuck-ass ouroborous world where the tech industry is the one peddling the grift to the world so they’re happy to eat their own tail because it tastes like money
Extremely irksome as an autistic person to ask a clarifying question and be told you’re “splitting hairs” when you genuinely just don’t understand because there isn’t enough information. Like, buddy. This is me at my most basic level of “what do you mean by that.” You wanna see me split hairs? If you really saw how thin I could slice a hair you’d hurl
I will split a hair into smaller halves every hour my demands of mutual participation in communication are not met
we’ve been doing this thing called “hitting the nosferatu” where you hunch your shoulders and walk towards things while pointing with a long creepy finger
ideal living situation is what i call the ‘sitcom special’ : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.
