That haircut screams untrustworthiness.

AI is lame so it should be able to take all of the CEO jobs already. That would save the shareholders millions, billions even

And when AI inevitably collapses, programmers should join unions and negotiate for a much higher wage, as they will be in even more need to fix all the shit that gets broken. Everyone knows it’s easier to replace or rebuild, but companies can’t do that, they’ll need their code, their databases, accounts, everything - fixed. That will cost them more than they ever thought they’d save. AI will one day do the things they want, but we’re looking at decades until it can reach that point.

Sam Altman saying that programmers are not needed anymore is all the confirmation I need to know we’ll be very much needed, maybe a lot more than before, probably sooner than expected.

To every developer/programmer/coder/engineer/whatever that gets laid off in favour of AI soon, keep your skills up. Keep learning. The time is coming when they’ll need you back to fix it. Remember to price yourself to make up for loss of earnings in the interim and then some

Not a programmer myself, but I don’t believe for a second that LLM’s will replace programmers.

Altman’s bullshitting on social media is just marketing. Don’t believe for a second that this guy actually speaks truth or even knows what he’s talking about.

However, I do believe that a lot of executives are gullible enough to fall for this vibe-coding scam and kill their business. I also believe we’re going to see a tsunami of racketeers selling broken products.

Programmer here, my reaction to this is: 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for all the templates, we will open source software and you time for collecting funds is over.

Same attitude as “Canada, who needs them”. You’ll come crawling back shortly. It’s up to programmers to tell these fuckers where to go when that time comes. Know your worth.

Their models can’t replace anyone, its just a fancy autocomplete. Before, we took snippets from GitHub and StackOverflow now it’s just a chat. Cool feature, but they overpromised big time.

Great! I finally have an excuse to take that hiatus I’ve been meaning to do for the past several years. You’ve got my number when everything breaks! Oh, and when it does my rate is gonna be double what it is now.

This will probably put me in a blacklist in job hunting but if I work as IT in a union-busting, lay-off company and some recently fucked-over employee comes up to me I am giving them all the critical passwords “by accident.”

I have a feeling that OpenAI won’t be long for the chop. They’re burning through capital and unlike Google or Facebook they don’t have any other revenue stream than AI. Nor did they focus and specialise on something, such as coding so even by that metric Anthropic is shitting all over them.

(Not a programer) I’ve tried vibe coding some simple things for myself and gotten “decent” results. I couldn’t imagine trying to make anything ready for commercial release. I’ve had to learn the basics of Python just to unfuck its mistakes…

using llm to program is nuclear bomb level security disaster in making. Eventually they will have ousted anyone competent out and affter that no one will be there to fix the security flaws that llm generated code creates. I just hope the companies that get the worst of the consequences also deserve them.
