Am I supposed to feel sorry for a bootlicker who stayed behind to screw their colleagues?
Who is this lament for?
I’m so glad the foss and self hosting communities have grown so large since covid. SaaS is evil incarnate and I will happily switch to foss alternatives whenever possible.
It’s difficult to follow. It’s like they are drunkenly telling their side of the story to someone who already knows what happened.
I see it’s your first time reading a furry dev blog post.
People read these?
Not anymore.
I don’t understand this article, can some eli5?
Is this real, satire? it’s just written weird
A software developer found out that the failing company they’re at, which was winding down for business reasons, decided to try becoming a zombie company by replacing its software stack (and employees) with a vibe-coded SaaS piece of garbage that’s broken in dozens of ways.
I could place orders without giving my contact details or payment.
This isn’t a “vibe coding” issue. This is just basic laziness/fraud. Even with vibe coding, you can get by if the project is simple, you know the business/operational elements of the domain, you aggressively test the solution and are aware of any least common edge cases.
It’s pretty much a vibe coding issue. What you describe I can recall being advocated forevet, the project manager’s dtram that you model and spec things out enough and perfectly model the world in your test cases, then you are golden. Except the world has never been so convenient and you bank on the programming being reasonably workable by people to compensate.
Problem is people who think they can replace understanding with vibe coding. If you can only vibe code, you will end up with problems you cannot fix and the LLM can’t either. If you can fix the problems, then you are not inclined to toss overly long chunks of LLM stuff because they generate ugly hard to maintain code that tends to violate all sorts of best practices for programming.
I saw the furry art and that’s how I knew they were a pro*.

If you’re not sure whether or not I’m being sarcastic… neither am I.
Pro enough to be one of the last employees remaining, but not pro enough to find new employment sooner?
What if we are sure whether you’re being sarcastic? Are you still unsure or does my surety change whether you are sure?
I like the doodles and the I line messages
