@aral the whole concept really pisses me off.
I fucking hate coding. Every aspect of it. It's not for me, and it's just boring shite to me. BUT, I respect people who write code, and would never attempt to muscle in on their shit.
I'd rather ask a dev to do work for me than sit there and ask an AI to fuck it up.
I imagine "prompt network engineering" or "prompt system admin" or "prompt system support" would cut me the same way
I sometimes cruise Twitch, looking for people having coding problems, so I can offer some help. Found one guy who wrote 100% of his code by asking ChatGPT to do it for him. If he had tried to learn from the parts that worked, he might have been on the road to being a programmer. But he didn't. He just kept rephrasing his requests until it looked like his code was working.
I kept cruising.
@Professor_Stevens @anatudor @sortius Vibe codin’ innit?
*smh*
@aral @Professor_Stevens @sortius Magic potion for the 21st century.
A part of it is that a lot of people are lazy and/ or ignorant. Another part is that fortunes have been built on taking advantage of that.
Get rich fast. Lose weight instantly. Gain a million subscribers. Cure your cancer. There's this constant exposure to all sorts of such magic potions being advertised. It's exasperating how many people fall for it and are convinced anything other than a magic potion isn't worth the time.
I spent a few years chasing down online scammers for a big internet company. Over and over and over again, I saw people in large numbers fall for the same three cons:
1) Get Rich.
2) Get Laid.
3) Live Forever.
If you have the lack of ethics and the elusive skill needed, selling those things will keep you in clover.
@Professor_Stevens @anatudor @aral hehehe, if you code, you're more than likely not going to be doing any of those three things 😆
At least that's what coders keep telling me
