      Has the general discourse settled on a proper epithet for this new version?

      “vibe coders” doesn’t feel derogatory enough.

        Agreed, they’re getting off light. I’ve worked with people who felt the code, but werent always able to communicate their ideas. I’d say theyd fit the idea of vibe coding without ai.

        The concept is taken, and doesn’t describe the intent well. How about “pseudocoders”.

          Yes. The original post that coined the term was using “vibe coding” to indicate how problematic it is to build software by generating code based on vague prompts.

          But a lot of people didn’t read the entire post and just thought the term sounded cool and used it as if it was positive thing.

          Now we’re seeing the negative impacts of vibe coding, just as the original post predicted. So it started as derogatory, somehow became something positive, but it’s going back to being derogatory again.

              Nah, it’s still a thing unfortunately. There will have to be a bunch of business go bankrupt because of it before managers start to think it’s a bad idea.

          My point entirely. It’ll probably stick though. Ah well, I’m sure script kiddies were called far more derogatory things that didn’t stick either.

    This could be vibe coding, or just an intern “doing the web site”.

    Neither should have write access to production code.

      I feel like I saw this or the same thing on a different screenshot before AI, I’m not sure whether it’s deliberately crafted bad security thing or legit bad from the wild

      I don’t think it’s the result of vibe coding

      i mean either one of those fucked up but it’s also on the qa/testing team and the deployment team that they let it GET to production.

        You mean the QA teams a lot of companies laid off because management decided the developers (and now AI) can just write all the automated tests?

        O saved the ass of the company I worked for at software QA multiple times 🤭

        Most of the time, it was just miscommunication between decision makers and devs and I had to explain to both why it is not working how it is now and that none of them is clearly to blame for the situation.

        I still work for that company, but manage IT infrastructure now, but I am confident that my successor will still do good job, than unlike me, he has a proper education in programming, 😂 I was literally in vibe code state

        (Thank you AI)

    i’m ashamed to say that took me a while to figure out what was wrong mostly because i didn’t think someone would be that dumb.

      What!? It’s more user friendly this way. No need to make the user switch to a totally different device when you can tell them right here!

      When I first added 2fa to page, I had a bug and made it do that to compare the values.

      production or test, it’s likely debug code.

    This could also be a funny translation issue.

    My bank sends a text message to me with the first code and a second code I enter.

    They tell me the first code in a similar way so I can verify they sent it to me, then I enter the other code in the text.

    Just delay accepting the numbers for 10 seconds to simulate the time needed to check SMS and type them.
