The Lore Of A Vibe Coder

Two doors. One leads to "Working on Real-World Projects" and stands completely empty. The other leads to "Next AI/Data Bootcamp" with a line stretching to the horizon. Everyone's rushing to become the next AI guru while actual project experience collects dust. The tech industry's version of a Black Friday sale – except what they're fighting for is just another certificate to add to their LinkedIn profile.

Stack Overflow is dead and literally nobody is mourning. The guy throwing up a peace sign at the grave perfectly captures the developer community's reaction to Stack Overflow's downfall. After years of getting roasted by condescending moderators, having questions marked as duplicates within 0.3 seconds, and being told "this has been asked before" when it absolutely hasn't, developers are celebrating like it's Y2K all over again. The irony? Stack Overflow spent years gatekeeping knowledge and making junior devs feel like absolute garbage for asking "stupid" questions. Now that AI can answer coding questions without the side of passive-aggressive judgment, everyone's moved on faster than you can say "marked as duplicate." The platform that once saved us all became the villain in its own story. RIP to a real one... actually, nevermind.

Future playground insults just got upgraded from "Your mom" jokes to "Your mom codes in VibeCoder" — implying she uses some fictional 2045 programming language that's so outdated or cringe it's basically the equivalent of coding COBOL on punch cards while wearing socks with sandals. The real burn is that by 2045, we'll probably all be begging AI to fix our legacy React code while it silently judges our primitive syntax.

The tables have turned. After months of answering everyone's questions about recursion and bubble sort for the millionth time, ChatGPT is now desperately reaching out to the ultimate authority figure - Chuck Norris. The irony of an AI language model asking permission to ask a question from a man who can compile C++ code just by staring at it is peak 2023 energy. Next thing you know, Stack Overflow moderators will start marking Chuck's answers as duplicates.

The duality of developer paranoia in 2023. On one side, the existential dread that AI will make us obsolete. On the other, the calm realization that these systems still struggle with basic programming tasks that require context and depth. Sure, ChatGPT can spit out a quick algorithm, but ask it to architect a complex system that doesn't fall apart after the 10th line of code? Good luck with that. The machines aren't taking our jobs—they're just automating the Stack Overflow copy-paste part we were already doing anyway.

Made a bold prediction on October 25th, 2025 that everyone would be "vibe coding" video games by end of 2025. Fast forward to December 14th, 2025—still waiting on that timeline upgrade. The real kicker? Dude's favorite pastime is proving people wrong, yet somehow managed to prove himself wrong in under two months. That's what I call efficient failure. The CI/CD pipeline of bad takes. When your prediction has a shorter lifespan than a JavaScript framework, you know you've achieved something special.
