AI code receives the same scrutiny as "copied from stackoverflow" code, because that's what it is

if i'm reviewing AI code, i'm reviewing it from the following two perspectives:

* it needs to meet the same quality standards as non-AI code, and it often doesn't, and
* it needs to meet high enough quality standards to *not need maintenance*, as the author has clearly recused themselves

like i feel like we've won the "AI art is slop" argument in the public sphere, but people still think AI programming is somehow an exception. AI didn't just steal books, it stole *the entire free software movement*

"i don't have time to learn to code in this platform!" then fucking DON'T. leave art to the artists, man. idk what to tell you, if you don't see programming as a creative pursuit to do for the joy of it, why the everloving fuck are you here doing it

but there's a more fundamental cultural problem, which is that *you do not care about the shit you are making*, and *you are willing to make that everyone else's problem* and goddamn does that suck

i haven't been accused of being ignorant in a while, i think people have started to realize that the public has seen what LLMs can and can't do, and the "just a year or two out!!!!" thing has started to ring hollow.

now it's just like "haha! i can make a maintenance nightmare NOBODY can untangle! buy my course!" and i want to throw my computer into the garbage

we used to care about shit. we used to give a shit about DX, at least a little bit. we had our lang design arguments, we had our clean code and patterns wars, but like, at least everyone agreed that you should care about the things you make somewhat.

"bet you can't review 150 vibe coded projects and take down every single one" damn you're right. you got me. good thing it's not my responsibility to maintain those projects

hi! this sucks, and i'm sorry you paid for it. have a nice day

this is a regular expression. you have vibe coded a regular expression. i'm losing my mind
Here's a tiny tool I just vibe coded (via Artifacts and Claude Opus 4.5) for entering text and getting it back in New Yorker style, for anyone who wants to type "naïve" tools.simonwillison.net/new-yorker-s...

this whole thing is motivated reasoning, and "to engineers who learn how to apply them" cleverly shifts the blame for these tools being ass-garbage onto the user

somebody told me straight up recently that by far the hardest part of programming is physically typing the code, and i was just stunlocked for the rest of the day

it's like wanting to talk about feminist theory with a crowd that keeps screaming about trans women in bathrooms

i will use wayland when libinput has feature parity with synaptics and not a millisecond before, libinput destroyed my wrists and i am *not* giving it a second chance
