"ever since I started to share how I built my SaaS using Cursor"
random thing are happening,
maxed out usage on api keys,
people bypassing the subscription,
creating random shit on db
as you know
I'm not technical so
this is taking me longer that usual
to figure out
And most of linked in (as the algo show me!) is basically this HN post in 100 words or the polar opposite saying how software engineers have had their chips.
It sounds like a euphemism for:
I don't want to work hard.
I don't care about the details.
I don't want to learn new things.
I want somebody else to do my homework.
I don't want to put in the effort it takes to succeed.
I cheated my way through school instead of learning from classes.
I've always had everything handed to me on a silver platter, and I expect that to continue.
I want to put more effort into yapping on Twitter and getting followers that actually doing any work.
Or maybe the numbers looked jumbled and they really didn’t enjoy STEM classes?
You sound arrogant.
Have you ever paid for artwork? You may not have said “I’m not artistic,” but the same criticisms apply in reverse.
Not wanting to learn new things or understand how things work or put in any effort to succeed because you think you can just cheat your way through life is a totally different thing.
And that's what the difference between using AI programming tools responsibly and "vibe coding" is.
A new tool released that basically lets you design a GUI through guided voice prompts. The 50yr old school teacher can “vibe code” all she wants.
The real problem arises when someone makes false claims they’re a developer when they’re just managing AI generated code. Making it your primary interest and then cheating to make it seem true.
It took me 6 months when I was 10 years old to become technical and create a website. If a 10 years old can do it in 6 months, an adult can do it in 1 month if they work hard.
The situation seems to reflect the issue that Kernighan's Law refers to, which is that debugging code is twice as hard (perhaps more?) as writing it in the first place. I imagine debugging AI-generated code might be even harder.
