This picture must be fake… there’s no way a developer has only one external monitor.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That's not a developer, that's a "minimalist" "digital nomad". He's 💊 AI-pilled and vibemaxxing💪. He's bringing forth multiple novel digital experiences with merely a whisper before you've even had your first piss in the morning. Every. Single. Day.

He doesn't actually need even the one monitor - that's purely a visual aid for the benefit of people like you so you know what's going on.

We need to start aggressively bullying and mocking adults that act like this openly and publicly. I was a skinny nerdy kid that got picked on constantly in high school. And even I think pricks like this need to have their self esteem and confidence shattered

[–] alastel@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Guys like this are probably the ones who did the bullying in school anyway

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I'm with you 100%. Watch out though, guys like that always fight dirty lol

You joke, but I read a LinkedIn post the other day where someone said that they had "fully switched to voice prompted AI work" and asked "are you still typing in 2026?"

[–] vanillama@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago

All of LinkedIn is just LinkedIn lunatics, satire is obsolete

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Speaking instead of typing can be nice but not suited for offices.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

Heh, still living in the stone age? That's why I use my Superwhisper™.

Programming seems like a uniquely awful use case for this.

Saying "function open bracket close bracket open brace carriage return tab print open bracket quote hello quote close bracket semicolon carriage return space space space space print open bracket quote world quote close bracket semicolon carriage return close brace carriage return" seems much more cumbersome than just pressing the buttons and typing it manually.

Its for vibe coding ten volume length instructions and then walking away after pressing enter

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"pressing enter" so a keyboard is still needed?

How could they lie like this?

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 3 points 5 days ago

you tell the AI to press enter ofc

What if you burp into it a lot, it is going to be moist in there no matter what

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 177 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Can someone, anyone, tell me where it is that you work where input speed is the bottleneck in software development?

Because I have genuinely never worked at any company where the main thing holding up development was that developers weren’t typing fast enough.

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I’ve definitely had coworkers with injuries for whom typing was absolutely not a speedy input.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Assuming this is a real post and not satire, my best guess is that they don't think it's a bottleneck, but still believe a way to talk to the computer without disturbing others in the office is useful. Like if Tide detergent said it would save your marriage -- they don't think it really will, but the ad is humourous and likely to gain attention because of it.

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 80 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

When you're vibe coding, you need to narrate long prompts, including things like "And remember not to hallucinate or make any errors." All that is a lot faster to say than type.

Clearly, you're not vibe coding, and your job will be (checks notes) automated away by someone with a #grindset.

/s, in case that wasn't obvious.

[–] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If youre not using a custom instruction that brute forces different ways to try to get the other model not to fuck uo youre doing it wrong. If that doesn't work, add another llm into the pipe

Edit what is a token and why is my boss sending me angry emails

Hang on. They had to ship three major updates in a single morning? How the hell is their workflow so bad that they have to- Oh yeah. Vibecoding.

If you see anyone wearing this shit, remember that you can laugh at how stupid they look as much as you want, and their weak copium that it's a "skill issue" will be swallowed by their copium mask. So you're free to laugh until they cry.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hey - they can whisper entire codebases with it

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 49 points 1 week ago (6 children)

()[]{}:!-_@#%*/;.

imagine trying to whisper these

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

They just ask the llm to make regex

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 week ago (11 children)

open parentheses close parentheses open square bracket close square bracket open curly bracket close curly bracket colon exclamation point hyphen underscore at sign pound sign percent symbol asterisk forwardsl slash semicolon period

Wow I’m so efficient!

I genuinely can't distinguish between satire and reality anymore.

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure it's satire especially with the hashtags.

Input speed is basically never an issue for development work, as long as you have basic proficiency ...

Though this dipshit might be right that his coworkers who don't go all-in on LLM bullshit might get "automated" away, most managers literally don't care about the quality of their product, and most ethical issues are probably a bonus instead of a detriment to them.

God I hate companies using gamer slang. "Skill issue"

also what asinine dev team manager is "optimizing for output"??? that's like the worst idea. it's like judging carpenters by "most nails used".
