Behold! My vibe coded website!

...works on my machine

My boss sat me down recently and was telling me about how I needed to adapt because AI was going to take my job soon. Somehow it was suppose to be an inspiring meeting about my career growth. I just walked away blackpilled at the stupidity of leadership in the company. Oh yeah, we are 1 year into an AI adoption program and most people stopped using it 6 months ago due to it making them look like idiots with it's mistakes.

Sorry, wrong link for some reason, it's supposed to be http://192.168.1.36/

As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it's just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.

This reminds me of a video where a girl was like "yeah so you know all that streaming stuff is so expensive? Thanks to AI I coded my own Netflix streaming site..."

And there was this one comment like "Backend???" and she was like "Yeah I dont know what that is, but if you want a part 2 I can do that later" 😂

This goes back some years, back when the ping of death was still a thing. I used to hang out in IRC channels and someone decided they needed to show me what a real hacker could do. The dork asked for my IP which was hilarious to begin with, so I replied “127.0.0.1”. About 2 seconds later I see them disconnect from IRC.

A minute goes by and they are back online, spitting mad. Tells me i’m lucky their computer crashed but I’d better get ready…and disconnected again.

Back again and folks are dying laughing thanks to my 1337 teenage hacker skills but eventually someone spills that 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Instantly I’m talking to zero cool again and was too scared to give out my actual address. Being a hardened nerd, this time I complied.

I was on slackware and had already figured out their game from the get go; oh and I actually knew how to find an IP. So right in the middle of this future titan of industry’s insults and threats…they disconnect one last time. 😎

Fuck man, I was talking about this exact shit today.

I gave Claude a shot at guiding me through an install of a matrix home server the other day. It got about halfway through before it absolutely shat itself. I mean like going in circles and completely incapable of breaking itself out.

And that's for a fairly easy sysadmin task. Not even doing it right, just doing it to the point where the service can be brought up and be accessible. I cannot believe anyone is under the impression that these bots are going to take anyone's jobs. The only thing that's going to "destroy jobs" is the rabid desperation management has to destroy labor.

This was me in high school. In my first Intro to Computer Science class, they taught me how to make a website in html.

Nobody told me that you need a domain. Guess how I found out.

I’d sooner use Frontpage.

During in my data science master's program, someone unironically sent me a localhost link to a Jupyter Notebook.

And it's ten million lines of typescript on ten nested frameworks.

And the website: "Hello world!"

Which is funny, since even a non-techie can setup a website using wordpress.

A lot of them do.

I made a piracy streaming app with iptv for me to use on my phone and tv.
