That doesn't pay the bills, does it?

>Sorry but you are coming off as utterly tone deaf and patronizing.

I agree, but I'd like to think these people come from a optimistic point of view.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that the "human in the loop" is exactly the thing the big AI leaders want to cut out as much as possible.

Seems like I did a lot of manual vibecoding back in college

>Become something AI cannot replace.

What will it not replace, eventually?

I appreciate your concern, because I feel the same way. However, you are wrong.

>Your knowledge, and you as a person, have value.

This is the exact thing AI is threatening to take away.

>manually vibecoded

What the fuck does this even mean?

Yep, he always has been. But I found he was often right and I did have some respect for him.

I think he's very wrong on this, though.

Some bank apps refuse to work if your Android phone has developer mode on.

One of my bank apps had a time where it refused to work if I wasn't using the default system keyboard. Luckily they rolled that back.

The times of actually owning your hardware are long over.

Here in Taiwan, many people just rip the ground prong out of the plug.

This hits close to home.

As a kid, my milk teeth often had cavities. The dentist didn't apply anesthesia when drilling them, which wasn't fun, but wasn't all too horrible.

When I got my first cavity in my adult teeth, the dentist wanted to drill it, again without anesthesia because "The needle to apply anesthesia hurts worse than the drilling and also you're a man, right? Only women need anesthesia". It hurt so much that it left me traumatised.

I avoided going to the dentist for many years, until my parents forced me to.

Cut to ten years ago, my dentist told me my wisdom tooth was growing problematically, so she'd extract it. My wisdom tooth was so close against the molar beside it that I couldn't properly brush there, so I had a pretty bad cavity there. She drilled it, at least she used anesthesia this time.

Few years later, I started getting this horrible toothache. Some of the worst pain I've ever felt, like someone was sticking a white-hot knife into my jaw. Apparently that molar was abscessed. Went to an emergency dentist that wanted to do a root canal, but I got a panic attack before he even started.

Eventually, the pain went away. I still got a root canal, kept calm by some Diazepam.

This year, I visited the dentist again. My jaw has been feeling kind of weird for a year or two, but it never hurt too much, so I never looked into it. The dentist told me I have a pretty bad infection in my jaw, and my bone has visibly deteriorated.

I've had three root canal treatments on the same molar this year alone. All done while being kept chill by Xanax. The problem still hasn't been solved. My jaw still feels weird and uncomfortable.

I will see the dentist again in a few months. At that point, we'll see whether the bone has recovered. If not, they just might need to extract it.

Fuck dentists, man.

It's such an overused argument by this point

I've been a judge at a few ICPC contests. We always double-checked first solves for any of the problems by hand.

The coding style demonstrated here is extremely common with high-level competitive teams.

>I hope we dont lose this desire as a species.

I really think the rise of LLMs has demonstrated quite well that most people don't care. Only a minority of us have ever had this desire.

>Dear lord the job market is an absolute disaster right now.

Indeed it is, I don't know and would never like to know the levels of desperation one needs to reach to accept writing Python as a career. (I jest, I jest)

In all seriousness, Python (and the same goes for with Javascript/Typescript) is a popular language that is taught at many bootcamps. I'm sure that has lots to do with the number of applications for these kinds of roles.

>then you submit it and wait an arbitrary amount of time for the rejection

You get rejections? When I was jobhunting, half of the companies I applied to never replied to me.
