• To be fair, cult members are actually drinking flavor-aid. I think vibe coders are actually eating sloppy joes.

  • Look…

    if you had

    mom’s spaghetti…

    would you capture it, or just let it slip?

    yo! His palms spaghetti, knees weak, arms spaghetti!

    there’s vomit on his sweater, spaghetti, mom’s spaghetti

    he’s nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm spaghetti, to drop bombs

    but he keeps on spaghetti what he wrote down

    The whole crowd goes spaghetti!

    He opens his mouth but spaghetti won’t come out

    he’s chokin’ how, everybody’s jokin’ now!

    spaghetti’s run out…

    time’s up, over! Blaugh!

    snap back to spaghetti - oh there goes spaghetti, oh - there goes spaghetti

    blaugh!

    he’s so mad, but won’t give up spaghetti

    nope, he won’t have it

    he knows he keeps on forgetting

    that mom’s spaghetti’s dope

    he knows that, but he’s broke, he’s so stagnant

    he knows when he goes back to his mom’s spaghetti

    that’s when it’s back to the lab again, yo

    this whole spaghetti

    better go capture spaghetti

    and hope it don’t pass him

    You better lose yourself in ya mom’s spaghetti! It’s ready!

    you better never let it go!

    you only get one spaghetti, do not miss your chance to blow

    cause spaghetti comes once in a lifetime…

    YO!!!

      • because jim jones had his followers drink it to kill them. the comparison for coders is what makes me wonder if you know the horribleness of it. even kids. many did not know it was poison.

        • jim jones had his followers drink it to kill them

          No he didn’t, which is why I made the joke about Flavor Aid

          Jones proposed “revolutionary suicide” by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix made from Flavor Aid, later misidentified as Kool-Aid, that was lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs.

          • im not talking about kool aid. that is used like kleenex. I just wanted to be sure you understood where it came from because honestly I don’t see the analogy. spagetti code is like code suicide maybe???

  • Don’t forget to wash behind your ears while in deep thought. Multitask.

    • 2 days

      Is that a store brand?

      They should have used this in their ads. “The not killing yourself brand!”

  • For the record, actual software engineers can instruct AI in a way that doesn’t make spaghetti of their projects. They thoroughly review and polish before committing the code. Which makes AI coding far more useful to those wielding that power.

    But I know I’ll just be down voted for speaking truth on this platform, so go ahead and smash that button folks.

      • We call it ‘huddle’ now since it’s more inclusive. Not everyone has legs ya know 😉

    • lol “wielding that power”, reads like some scifi gadget beyond human comprehension, that sows terror and famine among the infidels

    • So you don’t think there’s any correlation with Microsoft saying they’re increasing their AI code and the significant increase in bugs / poor performance on their OS?

      • After laying everyone off, I’m not sure they have anyone left to instruct the AI competently. It was never a great organization for talented engineers anyway (not saying they didn’t have any but that the ones they did have would always be underutilised)

    • It’s the difference between getting AI to write your essay and getting it to draft your essay. It’s a tool, not a replacement for human work.

      That being said, it’s a tool that’s actively endangering our future livelihoods.

    • I agree wholeheartedly with this. Just because AI made the concepts accessible to novices doesn’t mean they have the temperament or experience to not make a mess.

      AI has been a huge boon for our development but we also have people that know how to build software, review code, manage commits, follow architectural guidelines, and call out junk when they see it.

      Having AI blindly write you a crappy application doesn’t make you a “developer” any more than having Excel makes you an “accountant.”

    • Actual software engineers already make spaghetti code. They invented the term.

      AI just makes it faster.
