This picture must be fake… there’s no way a developer has only one external monitor.
You merely adopted being an incel. I was born in it!
This is exactly the bullshit that is leading me to change careers
As someone who didn’t even get to land a first job at programming yet, any advice? lol
Follow the industry trends, or at the bare minimum be able to speak “intelligently” about them. Management just LOVES buzzwords. It sucks, but that’s the reality we have to deal with.
Focus on soft skills, not just technical skills.
Have a process to your thinking. Like a logical proof, show your work!
Leverage every tool you can for your job search.
Good luck.
They took away cubicles but everyone is on the phone all the time. So much noise they added a loud white noise machine. So like whats the point? I want the bane mask for calls so I feel like im cosplaying at work.
Definitely not a cult though guys!
I genuinely can’t distinguish between satire and reality anymore.
Yes, and it makes me tired
Can someone, anyone, tell me where it is that you work where input speed is the bottleneck in software development?
Because I have genuinely never worked at any company where the main thing holding up development was that developers weren’t typing fast enough.
Once I was basically the only programmer on a huge project (“superstar”). One day I injured my hands from working too hard, and had to use assistive technologies.
The entire project ground to a halt, and management was on my ass all day every day about productivity. I even got a write-up and my bonus cancelled because I went from 3x output to 1.2x output (compared to my coworkers). Obviously I didn’t stay long after that…
So yeah, if you’re in that extremely niche type of situation, it probably matters. Creating an entire project by yourself kind of jobs. Actually, that tool looks extremely good for people who cannot use a mouse and keyboard for any reason. I would have used it. I didn’t like speaking to my computer to write out code in an open plan office.
Edit: this was way before A.I., so I meant literally those voice commands. Change tab to x. Type: while, space, open parenthesis, true, close parenthesis, space, open bracket… my coworkers got annoyed.
That sounds horrible af. Hypercapitalism is so sad. You are treated like stock
Companies (garbage ones) where they measure “productivity” by AI token use, number of code commits, or lines of code written.
When you’re vibe coding, you need to narrate long prompts, including things like “And remember not to hallucinate or make any errors.” All that is a lot faster to say than type.
Clearly, you’re not vibe coding, and your job will be (checks notes) automated away by someone with a #grindset.
/s, in case that wasn’t obvious.
Actually the tooling is such that you have that written in some kind of a rules file that will then more or less append the rules to the prompt so you wouldn’t have to repeat it over and over.
At least I think that’s how it works, I was only half listening to the mandatory AI training.
If youre not using a custom instruction that brute forces different ways to try to get the other model not to fuck uo youre doing it wrong. If that doesn’t work, add another llm into the pipe
Edit what is a token and why is my boss sending me angry emails
I was talking to an acquaintance and she was taking AI course.
She was taught to “validate” LLM infos by asking the same question in a different model.
This is an actual university course.
I was baffled. There is no guarantee that both models aren’t wrong. But speaking to people that use LLMs, this is a common strategy.
It’ easy to convince management it is
Unless they’re aware of The Mythical Man-Month
God how i wish anyone I worked with understood throwing bodies at every problem doesn’t mean it gets fixed faster. On the the other end of problems, they don’t understand a developer can’t just start developing on immediately on complex application.
God being in project orient work is a pain.
And we still can’t have offices?
I cringed so hard that I now require medical attention.
Hang on. They had to ship three major updates in a single morning? How the hell is their workflow so bad that they have to- Oh yeah. Vibecoding.
If you see anyone wearing this shit, remember that you can laugh at how stupid they look as much as you want, and their weak copium that it’s a “skill issue” will be swallowed by their copium mask. So you’re free to laugh until they cry.
Hey - they can whisper entire codebases with it
()[]{}:!-_@#%*/;.
imagine trying to whisper these
They just ask the llm to make regex
open parentheses close parentheses open square bracket close square bracket open curly bracket close curly bracket colon exclamation point hyphen underscore at sign pound sign percent symbol asterisk forwardsl slash semicolon period
Wow I’m so efficient!
“open square bracket”

sorry, I didnt get that
super aside, the text to speech in R.e.p.o doesn’t pronounce parentheses but it does for square and curly brackets, which you can type really fast and then annoy your friends with minute long voice lines.
pound signOctothorpe, ftfy
- Pound sign: £
- Hash: #
- Octothorpe: Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe
£ is pound sterling sign, not pound sign. # is pound sign.

On the one hand, each and every one of those has at least one pronounceable name, but on the other, I think these masks are for natural language, conversational AI prompt generation, so there’d be little to no need for any of them.
You’ve got to remember that this is being marketed towards bosses and C-levels who haven’t written a line of code in their lives, or have completely forgotten how, much preferring to tell people what they want and then expecting it to magically appear in front of them as soon as possible.

I was wondering about this
Waka Waka Waka!
And all without a single junior dev in the open office hearing their genius. Aside from the junior dev who bought the fucking thing in the vain hope they could roleplay as a more competent employee. That junior dev can hear themself going “no, fuck, delete, how do I- no, stop typing, you stupid fucking thing”, which I assume counts as “genius”.
Input speed is basically never an issue for development work, as long as you have basic proficiency …
Though this dipshit might be right that his coworkers who don’t go all-in on LLM bullshit might get “automated” away, most managers literally don’t care about the quality of their product, and most ethical issues are probably a bonus instead of a detriment to them.
Except that you’re not entering code. You’re not even mapping out algorithms or data structures or reasoning about tradeoffs, as that’s for dirty-handed peasants. You’re constantly supervising and arguing with an army of industrious yet dim-witted sorcerers’ apprentices. Your voice is a lump hammer that you’re trying to hammer a large structure you’re above needing to understand into the shape it’s meant to be in, with each blow moving a lump randomly, and your mental capacity is fully occupied with forming and refining folk theories about how the mechanised idiots you command actually think.
God I hate companies using gamer slang. “Skill issue”

How to give a graybeard an aneurism in 4 simple words:
also what asinine dev team manager is “optimizing for output”??? that’s like the worst idea. it’s like judging carpenters by “most nails used”.

The obvious outcome of this is an army of juniors making the cut solely because their tasks were to update package.lock.
what i find interesting is that this app superwhisper is just AI speech to text, mostly based on local open weights models like whisper (though also giving access to proprietary cloud-only models). they’re charging a subscription for text to speech. and it’s all for the sake of slopcoding faster. amazing. if you haven’t seen someone use speech to text to slopcode, look up videos of people sincerely using AI to slopcode, it’s incredible how the paths of software engineering diverged.
edit: and of course the main bottleneck when having an AI do shit isn’t the talking, it’s the AI actually doing the stuff that by far takes the longest.
edit again: i missed the free plan, oops. still, a speech to text subscription is ridiculous.
I subscribed to Superwhisper a couple of years ago when one arm wasn’t working. It allowed me to type emails and slack messages much faster than using one hand. It worked way better than the inbuilt text-to-speech in the OS. But slop code wasn’t a thing at the time and it all ran locally, it was great. Now I’m back to using my hands to type like a human.
I’m glad to hear you’re better. I understand paying for something that works better, but I guess I’m still stuck in ye olden days where software was a one time purchase and if they really needed more money they’d release yearly major updates. And I’m not convinced that switching between a locally run whisper model and something proprietary in the cloud makes that much of a difference. Especially with the privacy concerns. Of course I could probably be convinced, but I don’t want to.
It all ran locally, which was great. As new models came out I could download them. Guess they’ve chased the hype. Shame.
