I read all the way to "is beginning to annoy him." and immediately stopped giving a fuck.

Code Vomit.

Clanker code.

Nothing wrong with "vibe coding", "prompting", "generating" or the other terms associated with using AI to generate something.

If you do proper quality assurance, and assume ownership and accountability it is your piece of work. If not, it's AI slop.

Lobotomy as a Service.

Spanking the code monkey.

How about VaaS (Vulnerability as a Service)

What do you prefer? Code theft? Compiled slop? Inefficient shambling?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago

Jerking off.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

NOT - coding.

Subscription bugging.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago

My self-hosted LLM can suggest better names for anything!

Subscription fee is only $1m a minute, most answers are returned in about 3 hours, since I can't afford more RAM.

Personally massaging the code

"Call it what you like, you're still going to need us" Code.

It's just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn't mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the "no code" rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it.

If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won't be too painful to add.

I like it, it adds insult without sacrificing meaning.

[–] CatAssTrophy@safest.space 20 points 22 hours ago

Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.

Script Kiddie is the derogatory term for hackers that download tools and have no idea what they are doing.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

Prompt kiddies

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

At least kiddies can eventually learn, the biggest fans of these things are worse, they are MBAies

Clippy coding! Newer coders won't get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.

I like to pronounce it very German in my environment, which becomes Klaut Kot. Steals Feces. It's quite fitting tbh.

"Aggressively de-skilling while simultaneously shitting out tech debt"

Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, though.

"Slopping"
