I don’t even want to clean up my own code, let alone the unholy fucking abortion created by an LLM and a Linked In “CEO and founder” working in tandem.
I do enjoy cleaning code a lot.
When I work on shitty code I’m always thinking about how shitty it is and thinking on how a different design would make it much easier.
When you clean the code, you’re implementing that perfect design you were thinking of all that time. And you know from that point on you’ll be thinking less about how shitty the code is.
If your only task is to clean code and you’re not gonna work on that codebase afterwards, it’s not as rewarding though.
You really should.
Cleaning up code is the most important part of development.
Not to be nitpicky but those locations are all over the place, lol. I wonder what the actual percentage of programmers need to pivot to slop cleanup duty.
From my experience, a whole lot.
Think about how hard it is to join a new company and learn to maintain their codebase - at least in that situation you are likely going to have someone more familiar with it walk you through it.
Now understand that no such resource exists for vibe code - you’re on your own from the get go.
Depending on how royally the hiring party screwed up, there could be a lot of desperate money to be made
Good lord the repost brigade has arrived to lemmy?
Downvote, move on
Cant from blahaj
Okay, what is vibe coding? Because it sounds to me like just doing coding based on your feelings or something, which makes absolutely zero sense.
Coding using an LLM and not even reviewing output
Ah. That makes more sense.
Not much more, though
Brb, updating my linkedin. I’m dead serious.
Friend’s colleague needed Excel to, “return the month where the majority of days in the week fall into”. Had Copilot do it and sent it to my friend, apparently impressed by making such a robust looking formula.
The formula:
My friend’s solution a minute later:
I can see it could be slimmed even less, but I assume the table is large so LET is doing performance stuff.
If you ask copilot to return a directory tree using MATLAB script it writes a function using a for loop and about 20 lines of code. Meanwhile the documentation defines this task as
dir(“*”)
They clean up AI shitty code?
More like, take a bunch of screenshots of vibe coded website, and treat that as design document while rewriting the whole thing from scratch with clean architecture.
Plot twist they just vibe code the v2
If those dummies accepted the vibe code in the first place and you meet your contractual obligations…
tbh, if they were smart and knew what they were doing, they should have done it that way from the beginning, but they want to cut corners. AI is great at rapid prototyping; but it’s not trustworthy enough to call that a finished product.
To be fair, that’s usually the fastest option to fix other people’s code even if it wasn’t vibe coded. Sometimes that’s the best way to fix your own code too.
Jokes on them I’m a vibe code cleanup expert that cleans up with even vibier code.
Infinite money glitch!
“Computer, fix this code and don’t make mistakes.”
Computer fix this code with just enough mistakes that I can charge them to fix it again, just don’t make it obvious.
A job for a real masochist.
I have to imagine hiring someone who advertises themselves as a vibe code cleanup expert would be a dent to the ego.
Yeh, but you only need 10 vibe code cleaner-uppers per vibe coder.
And a vibe coder is a 10x developer.
You just have to mitigate the increased cost of AI API calls.
It pretty much balances out, with the obvious 20% efficiency boost - which is where everyone makes their money: companies, developers andshovelAI platforms… All 20% efficiency boost. Which directly relates to profit boosts. 20% line goes up!
Which also pays for the datacenters, theshovelsGPUs, the power, the cooling and the water for the cooling. It’s all cheaper, cause AI is at least 20% more productive.Even if your vibe-coder-code-fixers turn into vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixers… That’s just another 20% efficiency boost. Basically printing money! Oh, but you need to buy more
shovelsGPUs. But that’s also a win because GPUs don’t have unions or require holidays. Think of the profits! They work 24/7.
And all you need are vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-fixers.…As long as your vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-fixers don’t turn into vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-vibe-fixers (I’m so lost, I think that’s right).
It depends on whether you’re the vibe coder or the guy that just fired the vibe coder hired by your predecessor.
A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.
problem create solution , solution creates problem type shit
vibe code cleanup specialist, so, normal coder who fixes what a pretend coder fucks up? well you thought AI would take your job but now two people can be employed to do what one person was supposed to do without AI.
And each one will take much longer than the original coder too!
Not necessarily; you’re supposed to throw away the prototype
Thank you AI
Yeah sounds like job creation to me.
How this person gave up underlining the jobs after some time
What a coincidence! I’m a vibe coder cleanup specialist. I clean up after their brains explode from receiving too much vibration from the computer waves (or something, I don’t know how it works exactly. I’m just here with my little sponge)
Oh yeah. Don’t you guys also do murder scene remediation?
Wouldn’t it be easier with a big sponge?
Well, the brain explodes at the computer. And I’d guess the insides and outsides of a computer are easier to clean with a small sponge (depending on the setup ofc).
