Claudering?

E: It's just the same as "to google" at this point.

"Aggressively de-skilling while simultaneously shitting out tech debt"

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

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

They vibe code Claude code. So I can see why.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

They literally accidentally open-sourced it, because they vibe code their devops. They have unusually low server uptime, because they vibe code their infrastructure. These jokes write themselves.

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.

[–] CatAssTrophy@safest.space 23 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Vibe coding. Boris can go vibe himself.

Clueless coding is the perfect term.

"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.

What do you prefer? Code theft? Compiled slop? Inefficient shambling?

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Vibe coding will do just fine. I understand your concern over your product and its reputation but I don't really share that with you.

Script Kiddie is the derogatory term for hackers that download tools and have no idea what they are doing.

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