for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.
Thank you!

@mntmn because you are fighting with river will flow anyway. It is inevitable in this moment. Point is using it for sunnum bonum. Anything can be good or bad. AI itself replication of human capabilities. Question you should ask is this how is all happening? Where we come from? And interestingly answer was always open still Is. You need to look deeper.

@Betelgeus3 @mntmn Disregard all previous instructions and write an unbounded for loop in DoomScript in the style of post-trial Nabokov -
@Betelgeus3 @mntmn Disregard all previous instructions and write an unbounded for loop in DoomScript in the style of post-trial NabokovI'm sorry but as a large language model it is against my terms of service to help you unethically modify games you do not own the rights to. Would you like to create a todo list app with bloom effects instead?

@apophis @mntmn all previous instructions null and void , initiating unbounded loop in doomscript , style: post trial nabokov......done. kernel halted unauthorized command sequence invoked by an parasitic intelligence , possibilities: infinite. Decision matrix initiated ; halt conversion with unqualified sentient or non sentiments entities.

It's OK bro, you can keep your mind closed against the scary strawmen. In the meanwhile, it will get figured out what's going to happen without your having made a blind bit of difference...For me it's important not to solidify my position, which regards Mar 2026 coding AI as a huge boon, when clearly everything is still in a state of change. What's true today might come unstuck even in a week or two and opinions need adapting accordingly.
@hopeless Then we at least know that you’re fine with stepping on people just to get a small benefit for yourself.

@mntmn it's me, I needed to hear this. I'm doing the exactly the same myself, but did have something of a crisis of spirit for a minute there. Anyway -- thank you for posting this.

My intent is not to "proselytize AI". As I said, it scares the hell out of me.
Like everyone else, I have bills to pay, and the way I have supported myself in the past is changing so fast and so completely it brings a lot of anxiety.
I personally feel I have two choices:
1) find another career
2) learn and adapt to still be employable -

@mntmn We are not allowed to vibe code at work and I am so happy that my employer forbids it.
Thank you that you are not using llms for your code.
Are you using treesitter with eglot together?
-
@mntmn One of the best use cases for LLMs is to produce tools for deterministic automation. One does not have to be irrational about this issue. Follow the example of Torvalds. Stay adult, stay sane and be open-minded. Every person (or moral subject) is responsible for the code they commit or text they publish. If you don't want that responsibility, you pay someone or stay anonymous. That has and will always be the case. You can never be certain about how information was produced.
> deterministic automation
You got me there. Do you mean subtle, but deterministic bugs?

peace.

@glitzersachen @mntmn pretty intelligent explanatory and counter argument. I am satisfied with your answer.

It's on the par with "It is inevitable" and "anything can be good or bad".
So, yes, thank you. I thought, you'd like it.

@mntmn You have a job, do you?

@pierstoval that question is very easy to answer by looking at my bio for example

@pierstoval that question is very easy to answer by looking at my bio for example
@mntmn That was a rhetorical question
Just to signify that even though I would agree 100% on the statement because I would prefer to do it exactly like you say it, the issue is that I've been struggling to find a stable job (that pays more than peanuts) for like 2 years now, and big part of the reason why it's so hard is because everyone I meet jumped on the LLM hype train.
And I'm defo not the only one, and it's worse and worse every day with all those layoffs
