I use emacs
The only language I know well is C
My preferred build system is a shell/bat script
I don't even know how to vibe code

Give it to me straight, /g/, am I obsolete?

You have been obsolete for 20 years.

emacs VS simple build script means mental retardation. either IDE or simplicity

If you've tried other languages and tools and decided that those older ones are still the best for your needs, there's nothing wrong with that.
But if you've avoided trying anything else out of ignorance, inability, or (worst of all) a lack of curiosity then that's much more concerning.
>I don't even know how to vibe code
Again, I understand not wanting to use coding agents because you find it a boring workflow or because they give poor results for your use cases. But simply never trying them at all is a problem because it sends the message that you don't give a fuck about the massive changes affecting your industry.

I can smell the stench of corporate HR wafting from you.

>>108526313
we'll keep you around because we like you and will fire the juniors and freeze hiring

>>108526313
Stick around. You're going to basically be a Cobol guy that keeps the world running, while lo/no code Zoomers and Alphas fortnight dance with their chat gf-pts

Same. C, Cmake, CudaText is all I need. I need to learn C++ though.

I'm obsolete too but take a look at C++98.

C++11 and later are made out of cancer and they tried to fix it by applying some Python to it with the 'auto' type.

I've heard there are nice things in C++11 but I hate all of it way too much. Not worth it.

You don't even use Make?
Why?
>am I obsolete?
Not if you plan on writing low level C code.
Vibe coding is almost entirely for web developers, since they can get away with their code not working and chat bots are generally much better at JavaScript than they are at most other things due to the huge amount of relevant training data.
Very shortly I'll be starting at a C/C++ job where using AI at all is strictly forbidden and it wouldn't be useful anyway due to the lack of training data. There are still jobs like that around if you're willing to work for the US DoD one way or another.

You are indeed. Zed was released obsolete. It solves nothing, half baked. Abandon it.
>>108526313
> I don't even know how to vibe code
Install claude code cli, imagine a tiny piece of software that you always wanted, but was a bit lazy to work on. Something about your own convenience. Ask it to impletent that in C. Show it one of your previous projects and instrukt to copy your build system and general approach.
It will try to write that software for you. Once it is done, you can take over and review the code, maybe fix minor things etc.

This is the best use case you will ever get from so called vibe-coding. Anything serious involving AI doing code is kinda boring, sloppy and barely anyone knows how to do it right.
Most people just sort of wait till someone figures it out.

>Abandon it.
why would I? everything else for my web shitting usecase is electron shit. I jumped ship a year ago and Zed is great.
I use it at work too.
>>
>>108527416
> why would I?
Whatever you want, but I have a bad feeling about it. I can tell when a product was born kind of dead. Zed stinks of that.

auto is not a type. it is a keyword that allows the compiler to deduce the type, and in zero way does it behave like a boxed value.
