- ParaAh, reddit. Sometimes you still manage to be on point and funny.
- Para"Claude Code's creator is sick of the phrase 'vibe coding.' Suggest your alternative here."
- ParaSo obviously someone suggested "slopmaxxing"
- jreicherI suggest "scrapbooking"
- Swayzeisnt it already "ai assisted coding"
- ParaNo.
- ParaMicroslop is microslop, vibe coding is now slopmaxxing. Both for same reason; corporations don't dictate public discourse.
- Swayzehttps://www.pluralsight.com/paths/ai-assisted-coding
- SwayzeYEP.
- jbosmansthe thing i sort of dislike about the whole "is it worth it" etc (usually lack of nuance aside) is that purely "cheaply generating a bunch of code" was solved years ago in the outsourcing days
- jbosmansv1.0.0.0 of any meaningful/actually used code is only the very first step of a very long journey
- jbosmansBUT
- jbosmansof course, people with vested interest in LLM would say "just ask AI to do it for you in the future"
- jbosmansnevermind the context window is x times larger, same as for the cost
- jbosmansand of course, there remains "no one you can call"
- jbosmansso i don't think i'm an AI skeptic, but not looking forward to changing my profession into AI recipe/prompt expert either - per se
- GreenResponseeverywhere I see “AI” label, I kill-it-with-fire.gif
- GreenResponsefor example firefox browser
- jbosmanswhat the best/least bad option tho browser-wise
- jbosmanswhat's*
- jbosmansi've been using firefox since (maybe before?) it was called phoenix
- GreenResponseI meant to say “AI features” in firefox
- dreamrealpffft
- dreamrealwe've been here before
- jbosmansand netscape 5/6 before that :')
- jbosmansGreenResponse, i tend to agree btw ^
- dreamrealhttps://bytecode.news/posts/2026/03/the-ai-dilemma
- javabotdreamreal's title: "The AI Dilemma | bytecode.news"
- GreenResponseI still use it, it’s the best browser on Earth, in my opinion and has big, shiny AI kill-switch
- jbosmanspretty soon someone will say, "why even browse yourself" etc
- jbosmansyeah, same
- jbosmansalso uBlock Origin && NoScript
- leppardjust needs one more know for restricting ram
- leppardlike edge....
- jbosmansso yeah, i spend time unblocking hostnames like a nitwit
- leppards/know/knob/
- jbosmansis edge better memory-wise than ff ?
- dreamrealno
- jbosmanscould be it changed again over "recent times"
- jbosmansdreamreal, good article @ BCN :)
- jbosmansin my experience, it's often missed/unseen that instead of improving things, complexity is actually simply being moved around
- jbosmansalas, "simply" is in hindsight, because the moving around itself of said complexity is all but simple (or cheap)
- jbosmansusually it starts with someone saying "why don't we just <insert here>?"
- jbosmansfwiw, it's good to call things into question, also much better if person doing it has some understanding what "things" actually do today
- jbosmanssorry, i had to respond to "why don't we just all write it ourselves" during some meeting last week, with mgmt in the room
- jbosmansi was triggered :)
- jbosmansin any case, so much for playing the role of captain obvious :-)
