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

@pikesley *Maggie Simpson driving a car GIF*

@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!

@pikesley more like learning to play guitar with tabs instead of learning how to read music

@feld Using tabs is a valid way to learn guitar though

@pikesley using an LLM is a valid way to learn to code though ...

@pikesley

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 "you code like little girl. watch this:"

@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 @cstross “vibe coding” seems like the wet dream of software designers (I’m one, but not vibing) who can’t bear having to deal with programmers and their annoying callbacks to reality and constrains. I can build the whole thing myself!

@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?
