wait for it! PHD in vibe coding or relevant experience

“Senior” is implying exactly that, I thought…

Dude, if they want someone who is still using Sonnet 3.5 ... that's like punching your vibe code in on paper tape, these days.

eventually.. lol

The real trick about vibe coding is that it's like any other management skill - when your minions completely screw the pooch, you need to be able to step in and do it for them.

But fast! Very fast

Oh, man, I don't know how much is Claude's fault and how much is just the way the world has moved, but I coded a hobby project in C a bit over 20 years ago, brought in one library to render the graphics as .jpg files and the whole thing was like 300 lines of code.

Claude "modernized" it for me, and yeah, it shows on a browser as a PWA and it's working correctly (this time, via Opus 4.6 - first time I tried with Sonnet 4.0 it couldn't even make it work correcty) - but daaaaammn, there's like 454 files in deps, 1.4GB in the rust target folder - maybe it's just a rust thing?

But like, what does he know? He wasn’t an AI-native vibe orchestrator.

“English is the new programming language” would be more punchy

The only way for us to not "do this to ourselves" is to form unions. Otherwise we aren't driving the decisions on what is used and what's prioritized at all.

I wrote an app for my wife and it was really sad watching her just fumble past bugs instead of pointing them out when I was literally watching over her shoulder to get feedback on what needed fixed. I had to tell her several times, “No, don’t just keep reloading. What’s wrong?” Like we’ve all been trained so hard to accept shitty software that even when I could fix stuff easily I know people are just passively accepting the bugs.

Vibe salary

Hmm, was the boss hoping to turn that into a "why do I even pay you" moment?

Why not, If it resonates

vibe manager?

But they use curser and cloud (probably meaning claude as it is used in curser pro)

Isn’t claude code considered SOTA vibe coding right now?

And i understood it like you can choose what fancy tool you use. The vibe manager who generated this, probably, just told their LLM to use SOTA AI coding tools in their prompt for this job description.
