Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, though.

Ok boomer, how about slop coding, or woke vibing?

Are those better for your snowflake ears? Or are you going to keep giving us free lists about which words hurt your feelings the most lol

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

I read all the way to "is beginning to annoy him." and immediately stopped giving a fuck.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 34 points 5 days ago (3 children)

isn't vibe coding a term that comes from the ai bros themselves first? We would've used slop coding lol

Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.

Lets call it dogfucking

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 19 points 5 days ago

"Call it what you like, you're still going to need us" Code.

It's just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn't mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the "no code" rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it.

If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won't be too painful to add.

Oh no, yet another slop marketeer (CxO, whatever) is unhappy that we're treating their cash cow with derision. How awful for you.

Pipe down and go back to your clankwanking.

I like to pronounce it very German in my environment, which becomes Klaut Kot. Steals Feces. It's quite fitting tbh.

My self-hosted LLM can suggest better names for anything!

Subscription fee is only $1m a minute, most answers are returned in about 3 hours, since I can't afford more RAM.
