Amazing moment of realization captured.
@PastaThief Oh wow, person realises that years of study and experience are valuable.
WTH is “vibe coding”? Is it like stream of consciousness and relying on AI to make something of it? Sounds like some weird sh*t.
@DarkMatterZine @PastaThief Coding by proxy with a probabilistic English-to-[your actual programming language] compiler.
@hosford42 @PastaThief I’m translating that as “I write in my language and rely on AI to do the actual coding”. Which would obviously be a disaster. People will learn one way or another. Major Australian bank announced AI voice bot instead of customer service. It flopped. They’ve backtracked and offered ppl their jobs back apparently. IMO that is only one example of FAFO relating to ai.
@DarkMatterZine @PastaThief You've got the right idea, and yeah, it doesn't work. Watching my friend try to do it, it's like someone wrestling with an octopus.
@hosford42 @PastaThief I can imagine. I don’t really code myself although I’ve learnt a few basics running a website (code or be coded). But I’m married to an IT guy so I’ve picked up some of the dynamics via osmosis. Eg notating code, simple coding is best, etc. He’s been told his code is elegant, easy to review etc.
