It’s since been taken down for who knows what reason, but it was a basic network troubleshooting app. Pings, traceroutes, ASN lookups, that sort of thing. Really simple stuff that a dev with actual experience could probably cobble together in a weekend. He took months prompting Claude.

He is! He vibe coded a shitty app, got it on the App Store, and then fancied himself a bona fide developer without having any recent training or experience.

You’re lucky it hasn’t happened to you. Yet. I never was a “I’ll never use AI you fucks” type person, more of a “AI written code is not trustworthy by default and should be subject to human review, especially if it touches critical systems, to ensure it’s secure and won’t just blindly wipe out production” type. Even that didn’t agree with their stance.

My former boss literally said to me “AI is so advanced that you do not need to see the code to write it anymore”. That is not true, willfully ignorant, and the equivalent of slamming on the gas on the freeway and closing your eyes. Fuck anyone who believes that.

Run. Run while you still can.

I recently lost my job because I didn’t want to use AI to write 50-100% of my code as my boss requested.

I technically can’t say I lost my job because of AI as they told me they were laying me off due to restructuring, but a week after I was laid off they were hiring for my exact same skillset with a different title and the caveat that the applicant must use AI to write code. So you do the math.

Good. Zero sympathy for these people.

Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hangover, Star Wars, The Fast and the Furious, there are so many. Once that cash cow starts squirting powdered milk out of its teats they just keep squeezing.

RHEL on servers, then either Debian LTS or Fedora on desktop. Been interested in Zorin OS but haven’t gotten around to trying it yet. Curious if their Windows application integration is as seamless as they claim.

Username checks out at least.

tl;dr

Is this a poorly constructed tankie strawman? Any liberal I’ve actually spoken to would much rather have significant taxes on the rich no matter who they are.

It won’t.
