What are the icons? Some sort of AI code products?
One of them looks like a butthole, so it must be ai tools
Yes. Vibe coding tools and AI companies
They still ask you why their garbage doesn’t work or how to run a PDF.
I’m not even a computer programmer, I do industrial automation!Everything’s computer
What’s a computer?
So it’s over, isn’t it? The nitpickers are here to stay
Okay, there’s one benefit from LLMs.
I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
At least my million dollar ideas friends wasting AI’s time with the useless crap, instead of ruining a perfectly nice meal conversation with me.
Of course, I know it is only buying me a few months. The “quick fix to my AI app” requests are gathering on the horizon.
AI stops tech bros from bothering real programmers
They try to vibe code it, eventually get bored and give up. It’s win win (for AI companies and for programmers) in this case.
What are the three logos?
- Cursor https://cursor.com/en
- Claude Code https://claude.ai/
- Lovable https://lovable.dev/
Oh, I didn’t even recognize one as a logo and was completely fine with the meme adding a blood-splat to the soldier.
That’s Kurt Vonnegut’s illustration of an anus.
AI companies i believe
AI / Vibe coding software (companies)
Ah yes because we need more apps.
But these aren’t just any apps, these are shitty half-assed apsps generated from a slurry of unrelated mediocre code scraped from the corners of the web.
I am not looking forward to next year when every new aspect of any service I use online will have an 80% chance to be a half-assed shit slurry.
Today’s 65% chance was already time consuming and exhausting.
“It’s like Facebook, but for people’s pets!”
I still think no-code tools are better suited for building prototypes without requiring development knowledge in order to prove your idea. LLMs just added a complicated extra-step.
I think the point is, the kind of people who have “million dollar ideas” are now using LLMs instead of pestering real programmers.
am i wrong or is this a terrible meme format for what it’s trying to say?edit: it was the former
I was initially confused as well, but I do think the meme format matches.
I like it to be honest
idk the soldier is supposed to be a negation/protection rather than providing/helping with something.
this seems more appropriate for the mercy meme or something.
I’d argue it is protecting programmers. Previously, people would waste programmers’ time with poorly concepted/uncreative app ideas. But now people are going “oh I can do that on my own”, and wasting their own time with AI vibe coding.
The old “I have this great idea for an app! If you build it for me, you can have 10% of the profits!”.
And then you ask for the idea, and at first they don’t want to give it away with your agreement, and in the end it turns out to be either whatsapp of amazon.
literally elon musk
Vibe-coding is absolutely protecting real programmers from the constant bombardment of wannabe entrepreneurs that just need a tech person to write their idea.
oh shit now it makes sense. i misunderstood what it was trying to say.
