is everyone here a complete beginner? how do so many people relate to this? as soon as you need to do anything halfway interesting the thing just confidently spews nonsense.
There's always been a tendency of folks reading programmer humor to be beginners rather than seasoned devs. I think, there's just more of those in general, as there's lots of fields where entry-level coding skills are good enough...
Including when you have entry level skills and just enough seniority to pretend it's a full time job to tell people who know what they're doing to keep doing it.
And halfway interesting means beyond a medium blog written by someone with 3 months experience trying to pad their resume, and not following standards beyond default linting rules at all
Nobody's really serious on a meme sub. Maybe check your humour meter. It must be broken.

What do you think the point of this post is, then? Comedic hyperbole only works if there is still some truth to it
The joke is that there are some people who truly believe chatgpt is a better programmer than humans. It isn't that programming.dev is chock full of beginners who seriously believe the same.

At my workplace eng management won't shut up about AI and vibe coding.
It's because the potential customers for your product are asking about AI adoption. It's become a box to tick for all of the non technical goofballs making decisions.
Nope. 10 years experience at dicking around and collecting a paycheck. ChatGPT helps me dick around better.
Sometimes the more nonsensical it looks the less likely someone will bother taking their time to actually code review it.
My goal is keeping a job. Not getting work done. Then I just get more work to do.
Edit: I don't know why I expected people on this sub to actually be able to tell what a joke was.
Oh god youre the person behind all the legacy codebases I've maintained
I'm glad someone enjoyed my humor. I'm a mix between your most annoying coworker and your favorite coworker that approves your PR whenever you ping them. No unit test attached? Approved. Im sure you're gonna do that when you have the time. Just make sure you address my minor comment that looks like I had some feedback ok?
I'm just disappointed that you aren't living the dream.
I believe in your ability to slack off.
I am currently actually. My startup I put my heart into for 5 years got bought out by $BIG_COMPANY for pennies on the dollar a couple years ago. Have just been giving about 2-5% effort since. Half the people that built our startup got screwed over and laid off. It felt only right to give zero effort since then as a survivor of it. Waiting for $BIG_COMPANY to drop next round of layoffs and rethink my career.
I love programming. But this field is just garbage to the people that care about it. I'm bitter for sure. Collecting a paycheck until then. I'm surprised at how little effort I can give and still not get fired.
And don't even get my started on how much this field exploits the fuck out of H1 visas for what is basically modern day serfdom.
Your joke just wasn't funny. There wasn't anything funny or any sign of sarcasm at all. You just sounded like anyone relying on LLMs to code, not caring about quality.
Don't blame it on others.
That was the joke. Maybe it was too Meta. Maybe it needed /s tag. But sometimes you just leave a tongue in cheek comment and miss. I'm ok if it was a miss. But I think if you took it seriously you probably outrank me.
The problem is a lot of people genuinely think like this and will proudly and brazenly brag about it in a place like this while meaning every word of it...
The trick with humour is it has to not be as dry as my mother's cunt.
At least give us a "/s" so there's no doubt bro.
How do you know how wet your mom is?
You can get a soil moisture meter for $12.99 on Amazon.
You're probably right. I should assume the autism level is above average here.. My bad. But your mom's cunt is pretty wet when she rubs it on my face. Not your best analogy.
Edit: no /s to be clear. Your mom's cunt is dripping. But it's good that you don't know that.
I just some a lot of Lemmy are neurodivergent and do in fact require /s.
Which is actually halfway true, the other half being a more international crowd that aren't on the same page as whatever perspective you've got. That said, I got the joke and second you on spending more time with my feet on my desk while the boss pays me for my 20 minutes of work.
Thanks. I was trying to match some dry humor with the frustrations the relationship with wage labor frustrations and my usual balance of alcohol. I'm glad it hit for someone.
I actually appreciate all the downvotes and comments. I'll take the "make people think". Which is why I think my comment got so many replies. Enjoyable either way.
I am Autistic 😃
I think the more the autism the more you're frustrated that the other autistic people didn't connect to your sarcasm. It's the autism paradox. We found something we thought was relatable to normies and lost all relatability to other neurodivergent people in an attempt to be normal and still no one fucking got it.
But we're on fucking Lemmy. We're all on a level of neurodivergence I'm sure.
