So long and good riddance.

That's too close to actual programming, vibe coders will never go for it.

I assumed everyone was just using an LLM to give the best response.

Honestly I've lost all respect for people who use LLM generated anything.

Oh ok, so you can steal from everyone, but when they do it to you, its bad.

I feel like we're all glossing over the whole "pedophile billionaires colluded to throw the United States into chaos" part.

There is no need for this many data centers. LLMs are a scourge on humanity as they are currently implemented, and what will they do when these are no longer needed?

I can't wait until OpenAI, NVIDIA and Microsoft all go belly up.

Damn, yall can't do anything by yourselves.

Why don't you just ask Claude Code to write you a workaround? I'm sure if you say "fix plz" enough times, it'll work eventually.

StarterPro — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 06:57:34 +0000

Once again I have to ask: Aren't we just obfuscating everything to the point of knowledge loss?

Between long COVID and ai, nobody will be able to make fizzbuzz in Java, let alone code a frontend by hand.

YOU didn't port shit, the ai did all the work.

In the image they showed for the new one, the mechanic was checking a dipstick...that was still in the vehicle.

I really hope everyone is starting to get disillusioned with OpenAI. They're just charging you more and more for what? Shitty images that are easy to sniff out?

In that case, I have a startup for you to invest in. Its a bridge-selling app.

StarterPro — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 01:13:29 +0000

You have to realize ai is way more trash than you actually give it credit for.

Also with the shoveling of it down the people's throats, more people want authentic human experiences.

>GPT‑5.2 sets a new state of the art across many benchmarks, including GDPval, where it outperforms industry professionals at well-specified knowledge work tasks spanning 44 occupations.

We built a benchmark tool that says our newest model outperforms everyone else. Trust me bro.

New comment by StarterPro in "If you're going to vibe code, why not do it in C?"

StarterPro — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 06:15:05 +0000

>Vibe coding makes me feel dirty in ways that I struggle to articulate precisely. It’s not just that it feels like 'cheating'(though it does). I also think it takes a lot of the fun out of the whole thing.

This exactly. Programming is art, because it comes from the soul. You can tackle a problem a million ways, but there's only one way that YOU would solve it.

Vibe coding feels like people who aren't creative, stealing everyone's creativity, and then morphing it into something they find appealing.

There is no skill.

There is no talent.

You are asking the machine to do ALL THE THINKING. All the little decisions, the quirks, the bugs, the comments to yourself. All the things that make a piece of code unique.

Nobody has yet to explain how an LLM can be better than a well paid human expert.
