@aryanlabde 100% agree. And then only if it is your usual CRUD type web application with a million examples using a well known pattern. Then the maths formula gets you far. If it is anything of the beaten track AI has no clue what it is doing, but it will pretend for you.

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@kritikakodes Slop

I am a Vibe coder, scare me with one word.🤔

@kritikakodes Exactly. Do you even need to always be on? 1 monolith with a cheap free database on a cheap VM.

Interviewer: Do you know system design? Candidate: Yes. Interviewer: Design a system for 100 users. Candidate: Microservices, load balancer, queues… Interviewer: You’re solving for millions. I asked for 100.

@sweatystartup And people will realize that the quality of this vibe coded stuff was mostly trash tier

The AI bubble will pop: Electricity will 2x in cost again over the next 24 months. AI companies will need to 5x prices to break even. Companies who depend on AI will see costs 5x and will be screwed. Users will vanish. Market will plummet.

@aryanlabde Because code was never the issue. It was crap ideas. At least when coding was slower we could only go after 1 or 2 ideas and had time to think about them. Now we just make crap 100 times faster

The vibe coding dream: build a SaaS solo, make $10k month, work from anywhere. Reality: launch and then figure out why no one is using it.

@jdeanwallace Couple of major outages too. Just saying

A software dev friend who works at a ZA bank says he hasn't handwritten a line of code in the last 2 months. They're officially using Claude Code via AWS Bedrock. They even have a leaderboard to track who can use the most tokens. This is a bank 😳

@rand_longevity I don't hate it. I just don't think that a probabilistic maths model is the best way to write code. Unless of course you want something that is only probably right.

hating on AI is a sign of low IQ

@kylegawley Don't let them hear you say that. You are just an unbeliever. Too old, you are in the way of progress.

I still can't believe people trust this technology Just casually removing a primary auth function - you know like check if the user actually exists

@sama What a disingenuous statement.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@paulg Hoping we are there already. Friends are losing gigs in the UAE. Everything is getting cancelled. Enough already

Prediction: When fighting Iran gets too painful because of oil prices or polls or whatever, Trump will claim that the current state of things, whatever it happens to be, was his goal, declare victory, and retreat.

@fhinkel But this comes back to the fundamental of LLMS, they are a probabilistic model. Just a maths function that predicts the next token. These is NOTHING you can do to get away from this fundamental. No amount of "fix your..." is going to move you away from "its probably right"

"LLMs hallucinate" is the ultimate Vibe Coder excuse. Hallucination isn't a model failure; it’s an orchestration failure. If your system allows an unverified output to reach production, that’s on you. Stop blaming the model. Fix your architecture.

@marlowxbt Some crypto bro hoping idiots will fall for this scam. Please people, don't even bother reading this

AWS sent me a $47 bill. I haven't used AWS in 8 months. Logged in to shut it down. Found one EC2 instance running. Micro. $0.0058 per hour. Someone spun it up in February using my old credentials I forgot to rotate. I was about to terminate it. Then opened the logs. A bot. Running 24/7 since February. Connected to Binance WebSocket and a prediction platform API. Executing trades every 3 minutes. I followed the wallet address from the config file. 0x732F1. $339,140 profit. 38,945 predictions. Joined February 2026. Bio: there are no socials/websites related to this profile. → Wallet: t.me/PolyGunSniperB… Someone used my forgotten $47/month server to run a bot that made $339K. 38,945 trades. 800 per day. BTC moves on Binance. Platform lags 25 seconds. Bot buys old price. Collects $1. Repeat. The code was 26 lines of Python. Clean. No comments. No readme. Just a WebSocket listener, a price comparison and a buy function with a 15 second sleep timer. $339K profit on a $47 monthly server bill. ROI on the server alone: 721,574%. I checked the SSH login history. One IP address. Vietnam. Logged in once in February. Never again. Set the bot. Left. Someone halfway across the world found my exposed credentials, didn't steal my data, didn't mine anything. Just quietly parked a 26 line script on my cheapest server and let it print. I didn't terminate the instance. Changed the password. Sat there reading the logs for 2 hours. The bot is still running. The wallet is still active. $113K in open positions right now. My $47 AWS bill just became the most profitable invoice I never meant to pay.

@vivoplt Because it is easy to pick up. This is really a stupid take

Interviewer: Python is slow. Then why is it the most used language in AI and data science?

@arvidkahl At least I knew what my slop did. Now they have no clue what it does and they can make it faster and faster

Devs are acting like they didn’t write slop code before AI.

@BarbellFi You don't even want to cover inflation for yourself?

When my son is ready to buy a house We’ll loan him the full purchase price He’ll make monthly payments to us 30 year mortgage at 0% interest Thanks to the bank of Mom & Dad 💰

@theo @nikolasbydesign Because insurance pays you for being unemployed? How does this make sense?

@nikolasbydesign You should get a good life insurance policy if you don’t have one already

If you recognize this image, I hope you enjoy your upcoming retirement

@johncrickett @volkerpanzer And why do they appear some desperate to convince everyone that it is happening? Follow the money

@volkerpanzer Exactly there's a massive selection bias combined with small sample sizes.

"90% of code is AI-written. More than 90% of devs use AI coding tools." So who exactly are we still trying to convince to switch? And why are we still trying to convince them? If those numbers are real, the holdouts are either unemployed, in a niche where it genuinely doesn't apply, or... the stats are wildly overstated. Pick one.

@james_ptweets1 @adrianasobota_ @boxmining Only the poor inexperienced ones that are being taught through reviews

@foxthedream @adrianasobota_ @boxmining Human developers do that as well

Vibe coding is easy until you’re hit with: - auth - security - workflow logic - context windows - confirmation emails - payment integration And then you wish you knew how to code.

@iamkoshiek People don't want to inject anything because everyone knows it goes straight to the political elite's bank accounts. Blue Lambos don't buy themselves

South Africa posted GDP growth of 1.1% 💔💔 unimpressive for a resource rich country with high unemployment ‼️ we need capital injected into infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing & tech there's too many banks & too few factories finance is the tool, not the end game ⚡️

@james_ptweets1 @adrianasobota_ @boxmining And we know that AI agents like to change the unit test rather than fix the bug

@foxthedream @adrianasobota_ @boxmining and unless you put unit tests, automation tests and lots of QA you spend months writing code and months to get it through QA
