I used to filter the vibecoding tag on lobsters, but a little while ago, I stopped. Instead, I look into the comments, and update my ublock blocklist. Makes the lobsters experience a lot nicer in non-vibecoding topics too.

@algernon @thufie it annoys me how many of those people used to be regular, relatively respectable people I could actually talk to. Like, they used to be actual programmers.

Now all they talk about is slop.

@Byte @thufie I think I'm fortunate that I have not seen most of them until they went down the slop wrangler avenue.

And "fortunate" that I learned not to have heroes way before the sloppening. 'tis easy to toss anyone into the blockfile.

@Byte @thufie I'm not convinced that anyone who promotes LLMs despite being fully aware of the damage they cause (including DDoSing half the internet), anyone that can "put ethical concerns aside" had any potential to begin with.
