"I'm a vibe coder" has "being good at Guitar Hero makes me a musician" energy

@slowe @gilesdring yes, but it's real now

@pikesley As an LLM-free software engineer who has made the Guitar Hero to learning actual guitar transition, I feel like this gives Guitar Hero a bad name!
@feld Using tabs is a valid way to learn guitar though
The good thing about this nonsense is that the appearance of "vibe" in any CV will mean a simple and easy way to reject terrible candidates.
@pikesley Reminds me of this joke:
A couple meets on a date. Eventually, the guy asks her about her job.
- Oh, I'm a model.
- Like, real model? Seriously?
- Yeah, on Instagram.
- .. Oh, that's cool.
- And what's your job?
- I'm a special forces operator...
- Really? Wow!
- ... in "Call of Duty."
@pikesley Lol. So true.
@pikesley sad thing is, playing guitar hero is far more productive, and takes far more skill, than "vibe coding", despite being nothing like the real thing
@pikesley More like watching someone else play guitar hero.
@pikesley oh that’s nothing, I’ve been playing Operation for ages and now I’m working in a hospital
@pikesley complaining about vibe coding has complaining about guitar hero energy
@pikesley It is time universities introduced Sourcecode Appreciation as a credit option.
@pikesley scream, yes. Please may I screenshot this and put it on LinkedIn?
@emma Yes, sure
