You’re collaborating in multiple ways more than you anticipated. What would you do if they brought in another dev to work on it independently?
If you see failure in the projects future due to this, make sure you establish your limits and boundaries and obligations clearly in writing. Don’t get officially saddled with their slop.
If another capable dev was brought in to work on it independently, I think I would help to transfer it to them, and quit afterwards. When the dev would not be capable, I would advise against it. But in this case, it is the decision of the company owners, and they turned out to not be susceptible to any arguments against their decision. They also see themselves as "developers" right now, with the help of the tools they use. Focussing on limits and boundaries in writing is a good point, I will review this where needed if I continue.
OP - When it fails (and it will), they will blame you for the failure, not the vibe coded slop. Start looking for a new gig. They're going to fire you eventually anyway.
Reminds me of when photo filters and initial stickers and mirror filters came out on MacBook in like 2007. It was super fun for a couple days then the novelty wore off.
Yeah, fully agree. The idea domestic abusers care about flowers is ludicrous. They’re violent and mostly remorseless about it. Anyone who dealt with it personally would chuck the flowers in the bin.
Flowers are not because they care, it's damage control only. I actually liked original derisive title in this article, Microslop needs to be shamed into doing the right thing.
Mac’s are way more expensive than most people need. If anyone asked me today, I’d say buy a cheap laptop and I’ll install Linux on it for you. Ask ChatGPT on your phone if ever any bugs come up. Problem solved, hundreds of dollars saved over the Mac.
The source is "I heard that somewhere", hence "AFAIK". It kinda matches my experience at least when I get closer to a highway, the noise I hear doesn't sound like engine noise anymore.
Yeah, but you probably don't walk along a highway every day to get your groceries, do you. The closer the traffic gets to where people live, the lower the speed limit, and the more relevant the loudness of an engine.
Another factor is that an EV has a noise ceiling, whereas an ICE can get arbitrarily loud — think motorcycles, buses, trucks.
ICEs also use all of their noise range all the time — revving, accelerating. Sudden harsh noise changes like that are much more noticeable and annoying than the sound of a theoretical steady-state ICE engine.
Unfortunately the steady background noise of cars I do hear around my house (and thus where I get groceries) mostly comes from the highway. But you're right, in the city centre it's partially this quiet because it's about the farthest you can get from the highway.
We already have multiple forms of socialized medicine, it isn’t perfect. Burning our current system down and shoving them all into Medicare and the VA system would kill thousands or more people, healthcare needs to be operational 24/7/365.
I think a gradual move to single payer is the way, but even if you could get that passed as legislation, which you can’t due to a rigged senate balance, and not struck down by SCOTUS, you’d need 10 years to begin the changeover. It’s really that massive of a project.
But it won’t happen with the current solidifying conservative governmental systems. Say hello to your future, it’s now.
We have crony capitalism in the US, healthcare is one of the easiest areas to see it.
Free-market is the illusive perfect sphere. Most markets are oval or amoeba shaped. Rarely can the US achieve a true free market in any industry, since money pours into politics and corrupts the laws and regulations.
There’s a lot of big projects posted these days, hard to find traction. You built it all? or AI coded it and you orchestrated? I think look for IT work and get money for housing until the SWE market improves.
Best of luck to you, it’s a brutal job market in tech right now. Try to find local people and help them with tech, I think there are probably enough huge new projects being made for no one specific and no specific use case.
I architect everything. Every system design, every architecture doc, every interface contract, every integration decision. The kernel is a from-scratch Rust kernel. The hypervisor is a clean-room Rust implementation. The security model, the cognitive architecture, the 10-layer enforcement stack. All of that comes from 20 years of building systems and an autistic brain that can hold all of it in memory simultaneously.
I then orchestrate upto 10-12 parallel AI coding sessions, each working on a separate component with strict file ownership and interface contracts defined upfront.
It’s closer to being a lead architect directing a development team than it is to prompting ChatGPT and hoping for the best.
You can’t vibe code a kernel. You can’t vibe code a hypervisor. You can’t vibe code a BPF LSM policy compiler.
These things require deep understanding of what they are and how they connect. The AI types fast under my direction.
I’ve developed a methodology around this: roughly 25% of the codebase is architectural markdown that guides code generation, proto files coordinate between sessions, integration happens between batches.
It’s a disciplined process, not random prompting. Nobody accidentally produces 1.3M lines that compile and pass 3,900+ tests (that's the number of tests for the core project only, not the entire 1.3M LoC)
