"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Can we not change the name of what we do? It's not handcrafted coding, it's coding. The other variant is vibecoding.
Vibe coding is when you don't do any of it yourself or understand what's happening.
If you just use e.g the autocomplete tools in your IDE, or occasionally prompt the AI to generate test cases for you, that's not really vibe coding, but it should be enough that you shouldn't be on this list.
should really note that autocomplete comes in ai-free flavors too
Lol, emacs has auto complete. LLMs my ass. XD
Vibecoding is using AI in any form whatsoever. It doesnt need to have a bad connotation. You're conflating it with slop coding. I'm not fond of them still
