The workers didn't have control of the ship.

You're talking about C-staff, which is like 1,000 people in all of the Bay Area.

That's a weird fetish, but I'm not kink shaming. You do you, boo.

Your protest against AI also uses AI?

yawn

I mostly use C but your Rust disrespect is crazy

Tell me you don’t have a degree or a job without telling me.

Rust is memory efficient and apparently safer. Think the barrier for entry is also a little higher than langs like C from what I hear.

... is an indication of tooling, not a scarlet letter that AI contributed to the source code. A dev can include AGENTS.md to support automated maintenance (pre-commit hooks, config scripts, Github actions) without making AI part of the software. Does Makefile mean GNU Make wrote your program?

"AI. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"

English is the universal language.

No, it isn't. But ignoring the chauvinism there, okay, replace English with any other language that LLMs can speak.

So... Blame all the workers for a few shitty techbro oligarchs... Solid logic there

How is it not?

You remember? How old are you man?

I feel like "I built" has a level of pompousness implied that I think is correlated with AI bros. I'd normally use a verb like "made". I know it's a synonym but it seems less tooting-your-own-horn in connotation. I don't think I've naturally said in a sentence that I "built" a tool.

Before I get strawmanned, no I don't think there's anything wrong with saying you built something. I'm mentioning that there's a minor difference in connotation that leads to one verb correlating with vibe-coding. That's all.

What? Are you serious? A lot of LLM-generated text is in English too, let's learn an obscure conlang and stop speaking English.

Which would you pick: a SAAS option, or open source vibe coded option? This is a hypothetical, so none of the "neither" crap, just which one are you more likely to pick first.

I remember people hating on calculators, then computers, then the Internet. It's going to destroy people's ability to think on their own. Man were they wrong

“I built”

And I can take it out of this world, too

It does make me sad that Rust is getting so strongly associated with slop. Personally I find it a really fun language to actually program in. The language being expression-based is actually quite handy, and is a concept I wish existed in other languages too. But it is also unfortunately the most sensible language for vibe-coding too because of the performance and guardrails.

🎶 No good deed goes unpunished. No act of charity goes un-resented. No good deed goes unpunished, that's my new creed. 🎶

I guess being memory safe makes it not real. It's only a real programming language if you can easily cause a BSOD and leave attack surfaces from improper memory handling.

That kind of matches my experience as well. I'm pretty neutral on AI made apps, maybe leaning a little negative, but a few months back I needed something quick for myself and didn't have a lot of time, so I had Claude make something just for me to use. The app worked pretty well, and I thought that maybe it would be useful for some other people, so I offered it up. No expectations, no pressure to use it. I was upfront right from the start that it was AI created; I didn't try to hide it. I got attacked relentlessly for using AI to make it. I had to delete the post just to make it stop. That really makes me not want to participate any more, even for the Human made stuff I do, since even a little suspicion seems to be enough to bring out the mob.
