Get some
What cracks me up is that he is not technical so it takes him longer than usual to figure it out :D :D :D :D
He usually figures these things out much quicker but this time he is struck by some “not being technical” illness. As soon as it passes, he will figure it out as usual.
Listen you can whine about tech or you can start building with it.
And by building, I mean telling it what it should do.
And by telling it what it should do, I mean typing out what you want.
And by telling it what you want, I mean explaining a crypto bro idea in a rant to Chat GPT.
I mean he’s not technical but I’m sure he’s really nailed this one.
I’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”
Then proceed to do something even worse.
Or when you say there’s something wrong and the new version is just the same with comments
Yes. I love the confidently incorrect additional comments explaining in detail how the incorrect code works.
Though I’m usually pretty angry at that point, it is also pretty funny.
ChatGPT would not let me call it “you doofus” when I point outed it had done that repeatedly. For “policy violations”.
Edit: I don’t know how I screw uped that wording, but I’m leaving it.
This cannot NOT be satire, come on. It’s too fucking funny
Bet you $1,000 the credentials are stored in plain text.
Not just plain text, but hard coded.
On the frontend.
Having a backend is bloat. I do all my DB transactions straight from the frontend
I actually build a full copy of the DB on the client machine. That way I can’t lose the data, it’s all right there and so fast.
My db runs on the user’s browser via WASM.
Obviously hand coded. After all, he just discovered that there are people, or more probably bots, who will use open resources for their own uses.
Classic vibe coder things.
I’ve heard that phrase a handful of times now and it’s already making my eye twitch. Though I don’t think it’s meant to be complimentary.
Bow before the machine spirit! Taste the fruit of its wisdom!
Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.
PLACEHOLDER_TOKENIt’s in a textbook, and that’s a trusted source!
Not exactly related, but I run an unraid game server for friends and use a lot of the preconstructed docker apps for games.
Most of them come with the server name preset and the server password preset.
I’ve jumped into many a “private” server called Docker-GAMENAME with the password still set to “Docker”
I think it was some XMPP related server I ran quite a few years ago which had ‘i_have_read_the_manual = 0’ or something similar buried into default configuration file. And it would just silently exit if that variable was not set properly.
Maybe we need more things like that.
And it would just silently exit if that variable was not set properly.
Would’ve used that debug log to scold the end-user. “If you’ve actually read the first 3 lines of the documentation you wouldn’t be seeing this.”
What are they, Sony?
I’ve never seen an LLM response be cavalier with credentials.
I’ve never seen the Holocaust happen with my own eyes either. Must not have happened.

Can I get this emotion bottled? I want to experience it at full strength later
Just hold your phone over it. You’ll feel a tingly sensation in your intestines, but be not afraid, you just got the emotion bottled.
I want it powdered so I can snort it.
His first mistake is to call it AI.
Why is he figuring things out himself? Surely that’s the AI’s job, right? Right?
This is what FAFO in public looks like. Gold!
AI will not replace software engineers, exhibit fuck knows how many.
I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.
It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil
Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.
Any “customers” landed are going to be friends and family, if not just outright fakes invented by leo.
Imagine needing to understand a thing to build something. /s
Just speak the incantation of motive energy and light the incense to soothe the machine spirit.
Show this soydev his place
Well… 2 years from now vibe coding will be default.
