It took me way too long to figure out what was wrong with this screenshot
Yeah, same here. I was counting the boxes thinking they’d got the wrong amount of numbers.
I counted the boxes 3 times. :(
I need help. I don’t get it…
The “secret” code sent to your phone is spelled out in the text
No point sending the code to your phone when it’s displayed right there. The idea of doing this is making sure nobody has stolen your password, because they still need access to your phone before they can access your account.
That’s up there with: "You cannot use this password, it’s already in use by … "
But that’s so practical. Maybe I can contact them and ask them if we can swap. Haha
They were called scriptkiddies back in the day
Has the general discourse settled on a proper epithet for this new version?
“vibe coders” doesn’t feel derogatory enough.
Agreed, they’re getting off light. I’ve worked with people who felt the code, but werent always able to communicate their ideas. I’d say theyd fit the idea of vibe coding without ai.
The concept is taken, and doesn’t describe the intent well. How about “pseudocoders”.
“vibe coding” was supposed to be derogatory?
My point entirely. It’ll probably stick though. Ah well, I’m sure script kiddies were called far more derogatory things that didn’t stick either.
Yes. The original post that coined the term was using “vibe coding” to indicate how problematic it is to build software by generating code based on vague prompts.
But a lot of people didn’t read the entire post and just thought the term sounded cool and used it as if it was positive thing.
Now we’re seeing the negative impacts of vibe coding, just as the original post predicted. So it started as derogatory, somehow became something positive, but it’s going back to being derogatory again.
I thought vibe coding just didn’t work, and that was the end of it?
Nah, it’s still a thing unfortunately. There will have to be a bunch of business go bankrupt because of it before managers start to think it’s a bad idea.
At least they had real intelligence, doing stuff like this is basically so stupid you’d be clinically braindead
This could be vibe coding, or just an intern “doing the web site”.
Neither should have write access to production code.
I will be honest, it took me a good while to figure out what’s wrong
Same. And I came here to comment exactly that.
I figured it out immediately. I came here to say that.
Me too, but I woke up… Checks watch … 25 minutes ago, and I’m still pretty out of it.
This could also be a funny translation issue.
My bank sends a text message to me with the first code and a second code I enter.
They tell me the first code in a similar way so I can verify they sent it to me, then I enter the other code in the text.
Sike! That’s the wrong number! /s
It’s spelled “psych”, as in you’re psyching them out.
It’s ok I’m oot of academia.
