The posts behind it
...because "AI". They use LLMs, often have flashy demos, but can't keep things aligned and struggle to keep the models on task. E.g. they have burned a ton of capital and don't have a lot to show for it. The ones that went all-in on vibe coding are even worse off. If those startups...
...show stakeholders stuff in no time and and they are mostly happy. But the development sucks. I don't even really look at the code anymore, because reading generated code is a drag. And there is no reason really to do it. There is no fulfillment of "I solved this real problem...
AI Slop Doesn't Prove Anything
...to build an application, and the result might be one giant spaghetti-code monolith with terrible architecture, questionable security, and zero maintainability.. But why does that automatically mean AI can't eventually replace software engineers?. It's not like traditional...
I just installed it on my server in docker, then the UI was unusable and I deleted it and vibe coded a minimal alternative in golang. It works better.
...to Excel, AI is the tool of the moment; everyone will use it, and those who don't are stuck with the typewriter. Regarding internal apps, the big problem isn't creating/building them, it's maintaining them, scaling them, and providing support. In the coming times, we'll see many...
rst code quality because it presumably got trained on minified code as well. Agent harnesses do not solve software development in a hands off way. You still have to baby sit them. Every single time I use an auto review based workflow (aka vibe coding) it just doesn't work.
...to get a vibe-coded, reverse engineered one. This was a first for me. NAS (ugreen) was a pain in the ass to install my own OS on (I didn't trust theirs, wanted OpenSUSE, and had to get a reverse engineered LED controller driver so I could display hard drive health) ASUS Laptop...
Too many internal tools are becoming hard to maintain
...fix them and keep them working with our ever-changing data structure. Also, It's getting hard to track what tools exist, who uses them, and what’s active vs. abandoned.. How does your team handle this? Are there specific systems or governance models you use to maintain the...
Yeah you should run an LLM proxy, but imagine a world where LiteLLM and all the other LLM shovels weren't buggy vibecoded messes. And with the velocity of updates I feel there has to be vulnerabilities there. Or am I just holding it wrong? Anyone got a good alternative?
...no one understands? When you have to sit in with a customer and explain why the product doesn't work and no one knows even how it works never mind how to fix it? We can already see the inklings of this in the huge buggy messes that Microsoft and Anthropic are producing....
Since it's friday, I'm Gen Z 20yo and wanna know life during DotCom era in around 90's - 20's vs Today AI era. For Gen X and older gen redditors, which era do you prefer from coding perspective, both in terms of learning and careerwise?
...code.. And at work I just use AI to code and review the AI generated code.I. It is kinda hard to get a job nowadays if you don't have a good network or if you are not the top 10% of the rest or something.. Besides it feels like IT/technology they move so fast nowadays..
Microslop strikes again
As with every microslop product this seems to only get worse but now with more unwanted unneeded ai slop
...on other existing projects beyond sucking up the air out of the room and making it annoying to read news aggregators due to high volume and low quality). > And the people associated with Rust often don’t seem to have the best intentions in mind, or are just following a trend...
Anyone noticed AI PRs that ignore infrastructure and DevOps realities?
...don't seem to understand why it won't work simply because it worked on their PC. They fail to realize that a production environment involves far more than just writing code that runs locally.. sometimes they give me some copy-pasted answers that it will work if you just do X.....
AI has made the 80/20 rule so much worse. It's killing my passion for creative projects
...accepting slop, great polished products are becoming few and far between. I'm feeling so frustrated about the current state of the industry, it's actually making me depressed. Creativity and building things was my greatest passion in live, and it was a dream of mine to make a...
...diff apps, that can be consolidated will be done -> many businesses will die. It will be painful. Google was attacked by an activist investor pre LLM hype for being bloated - they promptly laid people off. Many software firms have been allowed to bloat up do to the nature of the...
...that AI agents cannot use the code of software under that license. I'm up for that. It sucks to try to find a stable, meticulously handcrafted tool and getting spammed with vibecoded stuff.
...AI vibe-coding in terms of personal pain, I would say it makes software development more painful when code is not well thought-out. There is a way to use AI responsibly, but I see more often people taking shortcuts and throwing "engineering" out the window. It's possible to ship...
...with zero human testing. That’s such a blatant misrepresentation of my argument that I struggle to take your comment in good faith.
AI generated code review
...AI-generated code across the organization?. Over the past year it's become incredibly difficult to review the growing amount of AI-generated code, especially from vibecoders/non-engineers.. Reviewing it manually is hard, but it's still important to understand what's going on...
...a business model. Impatience with broken software. Vibe-coding can be a way to vent the frustration, and in this case, it even turns into a spectator sport. Most of the vibe-coded projects I do, and that I see people I know doing, share the same, single, deep motivation - "I...
...granted. Learning requires some form of active involvement which includes the phase of struggle (I think), yet that struggle is done for something meaningfully better and has a purpose. What AI does to many is question that purpose, why learn? The issue I find which is why I am...
Is there any space for new photo management app/self hosted cloud?
...is used more for code or process review etc if anything else.. Also as an synology user, disappointed with recent changes and company direction moving forward, there is this idea floating in my head for almost years, to finally get together and create a synology drive/photos...
Can anybody actually explain or give example of how AI is "amplifying" their skills or output?
...learning why what it built was wrong and then how to fix, or how to stop. I feel like my bottleneck was that I couldn't produce beyond a broken MVP because I didn't have this high domain knowledge of how to build something large-scale. Which led me to pursue a formal education.....
Advice on staying in support?
...but wondering if any other folks have been in a similar position to me and have any advice on how to transition away from support into SWE or similar roles?. Or maybe I should stick to support lmao?.
Eddytor: A free master data platform in your own data lake

That just doesn’t work with current AI beyond a very small scale. I know. I’m on the team that spends our time fixing the vibe coded messes caused by people who think code doesn’t matter anymore. I have a practically unlimited AI budget and I use it all day long. We hav
Securing the network for our Vibe coded apps
...internal apps which i want to create and keep private. SSO is one layer of security but how can i make sure i am keeping these secure and what tools are there to secure the externally facing apps? .
Dr Tricks Senior Dev N2 Taking Job W AI
...me into working with him and teaching him vibe coding, always ensuring me that "I am not working myself out of a job". With 23 years of experience I developed an advanced system for the Dr and his team, that was being used daily. As soon as the Dr. became fully invested in the...
...that AI makes the first 80% easier and the last 20% harder, and makes maintainability a nightmare where a codebase that’s gone through vibe coding for 3 months is like the equivalent of a 10 year old legacy codebase. The burnouts are employees who are being asked to produce 10x...
...to complete the task. Was it faster than me doing it by hand? Probably. Was it more frustrating? Way more. And every time I review vibe code it's always the same. Bespoke functions everywhere, no greater themes or ideas. No bigger picture. Your code can't support much if it has...
forces update
forcing me to update and blocking me from looking at my notes right when i needed them. disgusting treatment. also why do i need 2gb free to update??? pretty sure we went to the moon with less. not surprised if the new version is vibe coded slop.
...code'. There have always been competitors to JIRA both commercial and open source. JIRA sucks despite having competition because it tries to be everything for everyone. One place we see tons of AI assisted apps is mobile which has seen a huge surge in the number of apps being...
...see open APIs disappear real quick from all the popular services because of the support nightmare, and, services like Uber and others are going to want to maintain exclusivity with their first party app the moment vibe coding becomes that viable. APIs will get locked down, and...

Handling the go faster demand from management against teammates pushing back
...unit testing, and 200ish lines of documentation. They refused to review it. Too large, too complicated, not digestible, etc, etc. . For some history here my team frequently submits MRs that have minimal documentation, no comments, no unit testing, no validation, and entirely...
Did Vibe Coders win? Is this our end?
...you don’t even open the code anymore. You open the application and say: “This page is too slow.” “This button should work differently.” “Add this feature.” And the system handles everything underneath. At that point, what stops someone with zero traditional coding knowledge from...
You Are the Harness
...senses as well. On the other hand, I never understood the sentiment that AI shifts the bottleneck from coding to verification as if verification was never the bottleneck. Vibe coding has made me realize that most programmers, regardless of seniority, have been drowning...
