showing my age but when I was a kid during the summer or on weekends I’d be out of the house all day and just where ever in my town. My parents didn’t care as long as I was either home for dinner or by the time the street lights came on. and if I wasn’t home for dinner I had to find a phone and call not because my parents would be worried but so they either wouldn’t have to cook as much or set out a plate for me.
ah yes the old “hide your weed in the back of your PS2/under your Gamecube” method.
it’s already happening. A lot of places are now realizing that advocating “vibe coding” and what have you is generating a lot of broken shit and tech debt. I’m a front end/back end dev consultant. been doing it for a couple decades now. and lately most of my contacts have been for fixing or refactoring or straight up rebuilding stuff built by a vibe coder.
Nothing produced by AI scales. None of it is encrypted, everything is exploitable, and eventually it all breaks. Example call I got last week: a startup had decided to set up their own mastodon instance for marketing reasons or whatever. they left the setup and configuration of it to their vibe coder who essentially had Claude Code set it up for them. basically build it out locally then throw it in some dockers for the server. real backwards ass way to do it. The problem is on weekly basis it was completely maxing out the storage on the server, thus it would crash and also crash whatever other instances for whatever they had on their (namely their own Gitea instance). Ends up the vibe coder in charge of setting this thing up either used Claude Code (doubtful) or straight up when to Claude.ai to walk them through the setup process. What was happening was all the images, videos, cached stuff was going into some extra .config dir and that’s it. wasn’t getting cleaned out, just all being thrown into some random directory and sitting there gradually growing. The fix was painfully easy just clean it out and make sure the cached stuff goes into the proper dirs and as a safety just run a cron job like once a week to clean it.
Digging around same company pretty much set up all their instances for various things the same way. a couple of their apps had major security holes cause AI really doesn’t care or know what to do with that stuff. It was a mess.
And it’s not just that company. like I said most of my calls now for work are just being a sort of digital janitor for AI and Vibe Coders. And I’ve dropped these companies some hints saying “look, hiring this dude who touts being a vibe coder is going to cost you way more money and tech debt in the long run then saving a few bucks right now. get rid of them and hire devs that actually know what they’re doing.” But most of these CEO’s and CTO’s only think in the short term. A year from now they’ll all be collectively fucked. Expect a LOT more stories like the recent Tea App to come out. Everyone’s data is at risk currently. I wouldn’t sign up for shit using my ID or anything right now.
oh OH I’ve seen this episode before!
guy believes that being a pedo is like the brain cell for orange cats. only one pedo cell can exist at a time and all the pedos have to share it.

Brink? my brother in christ that brink was several months back. you’re a full on fascist state now. I’m in Canada and I live above a Nazi bar.
at this point I wish I owned a crutch factory that produced outstanding crutches. I would make a killing selling them to Israelis.
And these fuck sticks are all surprised pikachu face that anti-semitism is on the rise world wide. Hell even here in Canada you have people spray painting Jewish schools, businesses, and what have you. The largest Jewish school here in Toronto has 24/7 police presence they even have a damn SWAT Truck parked outside the school. But as soon as a Pro Palestine protest happens in Toronto oh boy is the Jewish community quick to condemn it and then act surprised when people tell them to fuck off.
And yes I’m well aware that not all Jewish people support what Israel is doing but it gets drowned out by those that would love nothing more than to wipe the Palestine people off the face of the earth and claim their land.
And it’s not like these people learned nothing from the Holocaust, oh no dear reader they learned plenty. They learned how to commit genocide and use those that were murdered in the Holocaust as props to proudly say “it’s our turn now.”
…with AI admin and moderation. Anyone who’s been banned from reddit will tell you that, hell it says as much in the message they give you. I was banned once for saying “slava ukraini” which according to my ban was a direct attack at a minority (apparently russians are a minority according to reddit bots) and then another for asking how long before citizens begin shooting at ICE agents which, again according to reddit bots, was inciting violence on a minority (ICE agents are now also a minority according to reddit).
the vast majority of posts and comments are bots. the obvious reposts with misleading titles to generate karma to allow said bots to have enough karma to then post on various other subreddits to push whatever bullshit agenda or product they want to push.
fellow Canadian, have you been to Toronto/Southern Ontario lately?
