I'm with you on this one. I can think and walk if that's all I'm doing, but I can't even stand while I'm trying to code.

Yes. Next question. Edit: I swear that title said over hyped the first time I read it, but it may just be the constant AI glazing making me lose my mind. They aren't hated enough.

I can't wait to instead continue spending my money on a 10 person indie studio's game that's NOT full of AI slop and is actually fun.

We always think there's some magic new thing that's gonna fix our problems. But when we get that thing we discover that we're still kinda just the same disorganized mess we always …

It's harder to accidentally click the web browser and waste time on HN from a pad of paper.

It's a physical object that you don't have to remember to click on. But it's also not an app that's sending you annoying alerts at random times. It's just there, reminding you it e…

Reminds me of this thread, and this answer in particular. https://www.reddit.com/r/recruiting/comments/1kzvlau/comment...

Unicorn hunting is probably some of it. I followed up on one that sent me a rejection letter after two interviews and just said "I see your job has been re-posted" Never heard back…

Charge a lot more to come in and re-write the spaghetti mess that the vibe coder left the business with into a product that actually works.

You don't need to. "I like {language}" is enough. Arguing over the best language is a massive waste of time and energy.

Desperate to outsource their thinking, too lazy to punch a few keys and jostle a few brain cells into contacting one another.

I wouldn't VC anything personally, that'd be just trading one leash for another.

I'm curious what the point you're trying to make is. It's not like ex-FAANG folks are the only ones reporting an endless stream of soul crushing rejection letters.

How anyone reasonably expects me to not tie self worth to a task that I enjoy doing, and perform a minimum of 8 hours a day 5 days a week is a mystery to me. The same goes for the …

Anecdotally even folks with great resumes listing recent FAANG experience are having a hard time landing roles currently. They've also coined the silly term "The Great Hesitation" …

I don't watch anime, and I'm not gonna do your market research for you, but here is what I know from existing on the internet and 2 seconds of "refresh my memory" searching. 1. the…

Take a look at every company currently. They're trading the short term illusion of economic gain for a stable and skilled talent pool of employees that are engaged and productive a…

No, it didn't make sense in 2015 either. For all the reasons you correctly identified. But if someone tries to make me to use some AI "collaboration" crap to get a job I'm just gon…

Because the AI bros can't imagine a world in which they don't outsource every single thought to the slop factory.

Right now you're competing with people that have years of actual experience writing code for companies and an army of new grads who know nothing but have the degree and are despera…

An IDE that doesn't inject AI slop into my work constantly.

Last week, I saw this https://www.economist.com/business/2025/05/21/welcome-to-the... I disagree that we're in the trough. I think we're just at the start of the downward slope. Bu…

I did briefly wonder if it was fear of being cancelled for not using AI, but then dismissed that as too crazy to be true. I'm not as bullish on the future of AI as you though. I ex…

The conclusion confuses me. If you don't want to become a vibe coder then STOP USING AI TO WRITE CODE. It's as simple as that.
