finally: unshittification

Imagine SRE that very quickly triaged the incident, gave solution and it turns out that solution made system ever worse, and after that he/she said: "You're absolutely, right!"

can I choose Lambo as tractor?

This would be true when software factories succeed. For now, AI needs initial input from a human

can I use this harness with subcription plans without being afraid to banned from violating some ToS?

ChatGPT: likely yes (Tibo tweeted that it was approved)

Claude: probably not (officially against the rules after the openclaw fiasco)

Why they didn't prompt something like "please make whole system more reliable, don't make mistakes"?

Exactly! Let's keep it light and casual!

Wow I missed the forest for the trees!

This is the...<insert more tokens for this recursively repetitive joke>

Why does everything work perfectly for a week after an outage is fixed? Usage is still 30x and even higher because everyone catches up from the downtime.

Sounds more like a bloated, vibe coded stack that has to be unclogged every 2 weeks.

Both things are possible. We don't know that vibecoded software doesn't contribute to the problem.

You also don't know that it is either

Yes, but you can't say with confidence "It is not A it is B." It could be A or B, or both, or neither.

From what I understand, it's mostly because Azure is a huge dumpster fire

are there clean-room games?

But you can't clean room the art and assets.

My current take: at the moment, vibecoding is much fun as being IT manager.

YMMV, not so fun for me being human/robot proxy constantly, there is "review dilemma" with AI tools:

review everything AI does - getting burned out quickly

skip review what AI does - getting wake up call in a weekends' nights and getting burned out quickly as well

> vibecoding is much fun as being IT manager

I think part of the popularity is that it appeals to people who want to be managers but lack people skills.

Or even if we do have those skills, I still do t like when some moron comes by my cubicle to discuss some nonsense, job related or not. I’d rather be vibe coding at home.

i found being an IT manager quite a bit more fun. at least i was working with people

the few years i was an IT manager i came to like the repeat offenders and those with chronic learned helplessness. they seemed like "regulars" and were all big personalities. often i wondered if they intentionally disabled bluetooth just to hang out for a few minutes

Maybe I'm in the bubble, but I don't see a lot of "software factories bros" here, there are plenty of "coding is solved"-bros (they're also annoying btw)

edit: grammar

That's the other one I see too. "Software factories" is relatively new...maybe just the past 3-6 months or so.
