GeePawHill@jonny Times iike this, one wonders how much it costs to have one's eye-rolling muscles surgically removed.
Neville Park@jonny sauce pls? 🥺
update: fine you little punk, I'll do it myself https://old.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1mc1suk/thoughts_on_using_experts_humans_to_unblock_vibe/
@nev you know i would never admit to going on reddit.com on my all-ai-slop account to gaze upon the slop
Void Chicken@Taweret it is truly my hateread platform, i exclusively subscribe to things that i can't stand or find perplexing
@jonny I don't know what you mean. reddit is a sensible place full of the most grounded, sensible people

That subreddit is like 100% people who need to see a doctor and 50% of them are true solipsism where they literally believe they are the only person who is real

@jonny yeah I always kind of hope a lot of them are just teenagers who believe weird things because they're fifteen and will grow out of it but yeah....

It is the nexus of Mandela effect, "private theory of quantum everything LLM psychosis," and "nobody buys groceries but me has everyone been replaced by robots." The heady brew of people for whom not allowing questioning any basic assumptions as a moderation practice is very attractive

Elrick_Winter@Taweret @jonny Depends. Some weird teenagers are definitely on Reddit. There are unfortunately subreddits as well that reinforce delusional thinking. It is basically the non-AI equivalent of ChatGPT psychosis. Not all of Reddit is like this, but its structure makes it easy for such communities to form.

Here is a video from them and at around a minute you can literally hear the fact that the gigantic generator they have connected to their house is in fact the background noise in question

@jonny @iwein @Taweret I had to look up the post and not only did OP somehow not make the connection between "installed a fuckoff huge diesel generator in my backyard" and "suddenly there is loud noise", no one told them, either
well, maybe one person did but their post was deleted, impossible to say

You will not be pleased to learn that what OP means here is for experts to come in and write better prompts that will vibe code even harder

schratze@jonny this is like techbros trying to fix transportation and inevitably all ending up with trains
GreenSkyOverMe (Monika)@schratze Sometimes they discover buses!
PaddyTech 👾@jonny another week and they’ll think up libraries, because it would be great if all the references the human need were in one place.

Davey@jonny I was helping someone who had vibed their way to nearly having a web and mobile app ready.
There were some omissions that were obvious to me and I was helping them prompt their way to accuracy. At one point I did say "I can just write this bit" but they said "But I won't have you every day"
Anyway the next day I was meant to help them it completely lost the mobile app code so I told them to give me a shout when they got it to the same stage again.
@jonny and in fairness this person could afford the vibe stuff. They couldn't afford me for the same job, but it seems like such a false promise and they're losing their marbles.

That's the spot where people need to realize that things have a cost and you can't really dodge it if you want your shi# to be of some quality.
We can vibe, but then expect to be garbage in general.

I would prefer it if programmers recognized the patterns that got us to this point where this is the only way to make a website now - and LLMs only deepen those patterns of hyperverbose, tech heavy deployments - and saw it as their responsibility to design for low resource, low knowledge circumstances.

This makes the old "WordPress but with a custom theme and a bunch of plugins that mess with the WP Dashboard" approach seem reasonable by comparison.

I'm talking about the WP plugins that deliberately make it impossible for an admin login to do any kind of site admin work from inside WP.
They could be used as a guard rail to protect the Dashboard against clumsy users, but are more commonly used by website 'developers' who want to give themselves an easy lock-in while at the same time handing their customer a "full admin" login. At least that's the case with all the ones that I have uninstalled.
