  • You’re like the kind of person who refuses to use code autocomplete.

    Wrong. So many things you’ve been wrong about in our correspondence. Yikes.

    By the way, my god, what an awful personality you have? Nobody asked you into the conversation and you did nothing but act like a complete schmuck. I’m not surprised you live alone with a cat.

    Tagging you as “Vibe-coding schmuck”. Enjoy your cat who will die in a few years while I will come back from work every day (from my home office) to a loving wife and two great kids who are all my favorite people in the world.

    Sayonara. 🫡




  • It’s not about keeping up with the juniors, it’s about keeping up with the seniors who got laid off because of the “economy” and are now flooding the market.

    Yes it is. They are my only competition, because I am the senior. I also work for a consulting company, and we’re the (senior) people who replace workers being laid off when the company realizes they actually needed that workforce. 👍

    The idea that you’ll figure it out when you need it is the wrong path to be on. It’s going to happen, like it or not.

    What’s to “figure out”? You install it, you prompt it, and off you go (bug hunting).

    That’s why I’m confident enough that when I actually do need it, it still won’t be more difficult than what it is now. When it’s actually relevant for me, it’ll probably be even more simple to use than it is now.





  • Science, kind of. Multivariate data analysis (MVDA), with lots of large customers in pharma, but the science/math is applicable to any production field.

    The current stack is just a React app hosted by a local server installed as part of the desktop software suite, but clients are free to install it independently with their own server stack setup.

    I’ve been at this company for over two years, professional web dev for almost a decade, and teaching it in academia for almost a decade before that. And doing web dev in school and privately for almost a decade before that.

    The other developers seem to have installed Microsoft’s copilot, and every single one of them seem annoyed by it. It does a good job as a snippet producer but often has to be corrected for even such small tasks.

    And they’re not even web devs. I’m the only one in my team.


  • funny to talk to people who haven’t figured out how to work AI into their workflow.

    Funny you assume they haven’t figured it out as opposed to just realized they don’t need it for literally anything.

    real work

    Define “real”? Not all web dev is “laying out dumb shit for marketing” as you imply you’re doing for a living.

    Maybe you’re doing unimportant web dev work but I’m doing new, patented, award-winning, scientific web-based software that an AI would never be able to produce because it hasn’t been done yet.

    Your job is doing a bunch of stuff that’s already been done a million times, I suppose(?), but you are very poor at putting yourself in others’ shoes with the way you are so cocky and confidently incorrect about others’ work situations.

    I will not be unemployed for a long time, as a senior web dev. Haven’t even needed to setup an AI agent at work because I produce results quickly enough anyway. 👍

    I don’t have a screenshot to go on either most of the time because I’m entrusted to come up with the solutions myself. It’s not always so simple as your job.

    Maybe now you understand how things work for someone else than yourself and you won’t sound like such an elitist schmuck in the future. 👌
