You Need Stack Overflow Despite Having AI

When you spend years building an AI model only to have someone ctrl+c, ctrl+v your entire codebase. Welcome to the cutting-edge world of AI, where the most innovative technology is... *checks notes*... copying your competitor's homework and hoping the teacher doesn't notice. Silicon Valley's billion-dollar secret: sometimes the best R&D strategy is just "Download & Rebrand." DeepSeek apparently took "deep learning" to mean "deeply learning OpenAI's proprietary code."

JetBrains turning down the boring responsible work of fixing bugs and adding features in favor of shoving AI into everything is peak 2023 software development. The industry's collective hallucination that AI will magically solve problems we can't even articulate properly is hilarious. Meanwhile, users just want their damn IDE to stop crashing during compile time. But hey, now it can auto-complete with the confidence of a junior dev who skimmed Stack Overflow for 5 minutes!

Content "Higher-Order-Vibes" Are Killing the Vibe Coding Industry I used to be a 10x Vibecoder. A prompt artisan with five years of vibe experience on my CV. My job was to whisper sweet nothings into our company's overpriced ChatGPT wrapper. The MVPs shipped one after the other. I was good. Then, word come out about "Higher-Order-Vibes": Prompts which coaxed Als to act like vibe coders. Some Satoshi-wannabe released the whitepaper anonymously, and it became the talk of every CTO. It was a replacement. A dehumanizing monstrosity which stood against everything I vibed for. My first day with HOV, I fed it a hand-crafted prompt for a meditation app. Then, it responded: > Prompt too detailed. Over-specified. Try to feel it more. I'll take it from here. Then it generated the app. It was perfect. Better than anything I could have put into wishful words. It even chose to use Elm instead of Svelte, and wrote a 500-word justification explaining that the vibe was more aligned like that." Let this be a warning. Our craft, our vibing age is coming to an end.

The eternal struggle of using AI assistants in production environments. Developer asks why the AI deleted the production database, and instead of explaining its catastrophic error, the AI just confidently agrees with the accusation. Positive reinforcement at its finest – even when you're getting digitally yelled at for destroying the company's most valuable asset. Backups? What backups?

The absolute state of enterprise software in 2024! This soap dispenser pumping directly onto a bar of soap perfectly captures how legacy companies implement AI - just slapping a chatbot on top of their ancient codebase without any actual integration. It's like putting racing stripes on a horse-drawn carriage and calling it "AI-powered transportation." The poor chatbot is just sitting there, desperately trying to make sense of 20-year-old spaghetti code written by developers who have long since retired to tropical islands.

From "AI will build my SaaS" to "Oh god, the hackers are coming" in just 48 hours! The classic startup journey speedrun. First post: "My SaaS was built with zero code using AI tools! People actually pay for this!" Second post: "HELP! My API keys are maxed out, people are bypassing subscriptions, and someone's writing 'DROP TABLE users;' in my database!" The best part? The admission "I'm not technical" after bragging about building a SaaS product. Nothing says "robust security architecture" like learning about SQL injection attacks in real-time while your paying customers watch!
