“Doogie Howser here hasn’t even had a day of med school, but thanks to AI he’s writing 5000 drug prescriptions per day!”
“We literally found this homeless man on the street ranting about lizard people, and now thanks to AI he’s the the biggest stud at the hedge fund, making hundreds of multi-billion dollar trades every day!”
“Betty here failed out of high school and can’t even pronounce ‘nuclear’ properly, but thanks to AI she wrote the entire atomic power plant safety manual in a day.”
“Would you believe that Fred is still in a coma? Yeah, doctors say he’s ‘in a persistent vegetative state’ and ‘never going to recover after that i-beam crushed his head’, and ‘what you people are doing is both cruel and insane’. But, we hooked DeepSeek up to his respirator and heart monitor and connected some black and red wires together and he’s back to working as an air traffic controller!”
Okay.
Get him on a call with a customer to explain why their payroll is broken.
That should be fun.
Easy. Just transcribe the call straight into cursor
Should just work, right? Right?
The fallback is gonna be hilarious, the codebase rewrote by AI? With basically no considerations of business need and system capacity?
I can’t wait for the humiliating rollback
I bet you their “10x coder” can’t describe what a unit test is nor its purpose
Then again, can you even unit test AI generated slop with how often it’s rewritten?
Using AI to write Unit tests is one of the few use cases I somewhat understand, but even that turns out horrible with improper supervision. I reviewed one Pull Request once where the testing was so horribly cobbled together and nonsensical that I rewrote those tests by hand (after asking the person I was reviewing to fix it twice and them only making it worse by letting their AI rewrite them)
I hope he didn’t use Claude because oh boy it maybe costed more than a real developer.
A vibe coder not even out of high school replaced your entire codebase

The democratization of technology is a double-edged sword.
For every improvement in UX and lowering of a once impassible barrier of entry, we seem to inevitably gain a massive number of “eXpErTs” who can suddenly stand upon the now much lower skill floor.
Shortly thereafter seems to be a destruction of the general reliability of whatever field these “eXpErTs” flood - usually a field which used to be inherently cryptic and had complex prerequisites just to begin operation within, let alone master.
Like… it makes me almost miss when “using a computer” meant you had to understand how to browse a directory in DOS…
Because at least then you literally couldn’t begin to operate in the field unless you could wrap your head around understanding the basics of syntax.
Now you can just have an entire legion of dullards misspell or misspeak 30% of a malformed question to some random free LLM that still has trouble telling you “how many Rs are in the word strawberry,” and have it confidently fart back out a wrong answer that they will then copy-paste into a paper or article which will then be added to the pile of growing misinformation currently stuffing a frighteningly expanding part of our collective knowledge base.
One of my biggest pet-peeves right now is tech companies selling paid, proprietary “low code/no code” software as “democratic”. Especially when writing code was never the hard part of software development, it’s designing usable, scalable, and efficient data structures and algorithms.
Yeah we’re gooing to need to go back and clean up the internet from 2022-50. Because of the scam they call AI it’s only going to get worse.
But not his job right? He alone is far too valuable to be replaced by an IDE. /s
I was going to say more like IED cause everything is going to blow to bits.
There are two kinds of Linkedin posters - those who are open about being trolls and those who aren’t.
How could someone ‘joke’ about this? Its not funny
it’s not funny only if it’s your job to clean up after them
Notice the most cracked developer “Arno” is a white guy with very expensive equipment who was raised in that environment for more than a decade?
CS not beating the white supremacy allegations any time soon in the West.
You can be a white guy with expensive equipment, and still you’ll have to work since at most the age of 7 to land somewhat decent job.
Where does that leave black folks?..uhm, capitalists don’t care.
That’s not healthy
That’s why he’s a cracked developer. Already broken under the heel of his capitalist overlord.
literally cracked
Can we fast forward to the Hard Lessons part because it’s going to be hilarious
As an AI native he knows how to prompt, for example to always include “don’t make errors” and “make sure to follow security best practices”. It’s really easy once you know.
All of those senior devs that got sacked will be laughing for the rehire salary increase, assuming their company doesn’t fold on the ai code house of cards.
red flag number 1: measuring progress in lines of code
250k lines of ai generated code means he didn’t do anything
250K lines of code in a month means about 10k lines per day.
For an 8 hour work day (since they donchild labour, it might as well be 16, but let’s keep it simple) that is about 1000 lines of code per hour, so about 20 lines of code per minute. Give or take
Unless you trust the output of AI implicitly without checking anything, ever, there is no way on this earth this can be done by a single person.
Then, an actual senior developer would be required to evaluate each method he wrote, but I’m sure this 10 year old child with zero experience will suffice
So basically, this guy just uses a child to tell chatgpt similar to vomit out text that likely may not even compile, let alone do what it needs to do correctly, with the right security protocols, all with the underlying infrastructure.
All of this is bullshit and that CEO should be arrested for child labor
Yeah like whoopty doo you created 250k lines of cruft that someone competent will have to sift through later
Well, what he did was bringing something into the code base that might blow up the whole company one day in the future. Becuase what he didn’t do was thoroughly review the code that the AI made.
aI-nAtIvE tEnX
What an obnoxious buzzword bro
I only want to see ai remove code while keeping tests passing. until it can do that what value does it bring
