Could be also both...

Good example! 90 percent ( or even more) of code do not need NASA level code. Vibe coding is good enough.

Just like a five dollar t shirt is enough for many many people


Way more than 90% of code doesn’t need to be up to NASA standards. But there are many levels of quality between vibe coded and NASA engineered. Most code that makes money is in the middle, but should probably be closer the NASA end of the spectrum.

If 90% of code is for hobbies that don't cost anyone anything when it breaks, great - but launching rockets into space with million or billion dollar payloads is akin to software that makes millions or billions of dollars, and vibeslop is simply a liability at best in any real use case past a weekend hobby project.

The vibe coders wish they could produce the equivalent of a $5 teeshirt. Or they think they are because they don't have the ability to tell.

And? Nothing you can do against it.

IT and coding was a good carrier for a long time, but times are changing.


Yeah, pixel games are huge now.

But I think it's more because of growing up with it have now pc, money. Not because people rediscover pixel games.


Yap, tell my clients now that source code isn't a secret sauce anymore.

It's now so easy to generate, that, almost no matter what you do, there is nothing special or secret about it anymore. Especially when you already host at GitHub or Azure or whatever, it's already inside AI.( Even if you don't, they still get their fingers on it)

I know, because I created an AI help chat bot with a help document and API from a closed source product, made it public and then got accused feeding the AI the source code and needed to take it down.

Nope, it was already inside. The documents and help files etc. got the AI to print out part of the source code lmao.


That might be the worrying part? LLMs do as told. Like a super smart toddler. No matter how stupid or how bad it might be for humans

Yap, that's what people don't want to hear.

Right now we are in the cheap phase.

Price can easily triple


> Price can easily triple

They can just as easily plummet to a fraction. Really depends on wether there's value for the entities that are paying


The guy who orders minus 1.5 beers lol

And your muscles degrade, a pretty good analogy

Use the exoskeleton at the warehouse to reduce stress and injury; just keep lifting weights at home to not let yourself atrophy.

I guess so, but if you have to keep lifting weights at home to stay competent at your job, then lifting weights is part of your job, and you should be paid for those hours.

How long did it take for housing to stop skyrocketing?

That's my guess.

Aka: take a seat, it will be a while


Two years. Basically the period when people were stuck at home during COVID restrictions and were willing to spend extra money to make that experience more comfortable. Prices fell precipitously after restrictions were lifted and people had desires outside of the home again.
