Entertainment Porpoises OnlyI have been lurking on a Vibe Coding community and these people are cooked
tante@pikesley /r/Vibecoding is my guilty pleasure. It's like watching a bunch of people totally high on paint argue about existential questions
Paco Hope@tante I am trying hard to think of an analogy for any other industry. Maybe it’s like being an MD doctor and going to one of these healing crystal conferences.
They’re turning coding into teaching: a high-skill job that is super valuable to society, but a lot of people disrespect it and think they could do it themselves just as well.

Zillion@fsou @paco @tante @pikesley The American Physical Society has a wonderful collection of crank letters and the like. One of my favorite stories: An editor told Feynman he couldn't call them "tadpole diagrams" because that's too undignified. Feynman replied that that was fine. Just call them "sperm diagrams." “Tadpole" was hastily approved. I did not actually see the correspondence, so I can't vouch for the story's authenticity.
