I work at GitHub as an EngineerMost of the work I do every day is vibe coded.AMA
how do you vibe code without grepping your hair out over how stupid the AI is?
>>108789614Are you an engineer at GitHub?
>>108789621It's honestly not that stupid. That's what's tough about AI lately.It actually works. Until it doesn't. Which I'm sure a lot of apps are going to suffer from soon. The silent killers.
>>108789628Yes. Or I guess you could call it Microsoft now. GitHub is really Microsoft at this point.
>>108789614>I work at GitHub as an EngineerProbably not for too much longer, enjoy it while it lasts.>Most of the work I do every day is vibe coded.We know, the "We're leaving GitHub" stories every single day tell those who haven't left to flee the MicroJeet clusterfuck. Good luck faggot.
>>108789660I'm on my way out too. Last few weeks.
>>108789614are you aware that the software is getting worse and if so does it bother you
>>108789614How's India? Have you ever shit in a real toilet bowl?
>>108789669Oh yeah, absolutely. It's mostly why I plan on leaving. Our availability is tanking and I don't feel like mgmt cares enough to change things. They, much like the rest of the industry right now, only care about new AI features and the shiny objects. It is very frustrating and not worth it anymore.
>>108789698you are a good man. work somewhere that values quality, godspeed anon
>>108789664Good luck out there, hopefully you get a nice severance and can enjoy the summer. If you have low fixed costs, you'd be surprised how many banh mis and bud lights on a park bench you can squeeze into even say five grand (or whatever your "am going to burn through $xxxx before I jump back in".
>>108789614>I'm an engineer>I don't do any engineeringNo wonder nothing ever works properly anymore. These days it's a miracle if some new update doesn't break something.
>>108789614>Most of the work I do every day is vibe coded.ya, we can tell.
>>108789614same for me at bytedance
>>108789614What's an Engineer? Is that code for Help Desk or something?
There's absolutely no incentive to not vibecode unless it's your own project, you enjoy working on it and you want to understand every corner of it and don't want it to turn to shit. Working for someone else == vibecoding, especially now that pay is shit and they treat you like a slave.
>>108789614What caste are you?
>>108789975>There's absolutely no incentive to not vibecode unless it's your own projectThis is simply wrong. The incentive is to develop the capacity to understand the ways systems should evolve, so evolution in ways it should *not* go can be avoided.We're very early in to this whole thing and already there have been severe, mission critical fuckups that are astonishingly high profile. There is not an urgent need for meat-based proxies between marketing speak into Claude, there is an urgent need for people who can identify impending disasters and mitigate them. Aka the review crisis. Delegating your brain to a paid service is shortsighted, but go for it, I guess,The survivors will be the AI users that use it like a better google and stack overflow, combined with a boilerplate automater, and the losers will understand less and less over time and be completely useless in directing things toward survivable complexity accumulation and away from e.g., what's happening with Windows 11.
>>108790702a reply that's an LLM slop proves the point: people won't even bother write comments themselves, and you want them to stop using LLM at their job? Yeah, right.
>>108791115Nice try Bosnia fag
>>108789747is there anything microsoft hasn't ruined after buying it up?
>>108789698>only care about new AI features and the shiny objectsBasic jamboy protocol
>>108790306OP here. This is a funny question because I've noticed work is political but only if you're on the left. There could be trump supporters or conservatives. But they hide away and don't voice things. It provides the image that they don't exist at GitHub but maybe they do and they're just silent.
>>108791217I seriously don't think so. It is both terrifying and incredible. They should be in the definition of enshittification.
>>108789614Do you want me to tell you how I know you're just a jeet?
>>108789614>I work at GitHub as an Engineer>Most of the work I do every day is vibe coded.How have you committed seppuku for the amount of downtime and trouble you are causing?
>>108791633It's not me! I didn't do it. I truly think it's because of the pressure to go faster because we have AI rather than AI itself. If we used AI here and still were expecting the same output, I think we'd have less availability issues.
>>108791646What is there even a need to go fast for?What new features are you adding to github? I haven't noticed anything (except downtime) in years.
>>108791655That's a great point. And it's partly why I'm leaving. If you haven't been using Copilot or enterprise features, then you probably haven't seen too much of a change. Keep in mind that most issues with availability occur in the backend, or at the architecture level, so you wouldn't be seeing them in your day to day.Also, to be fair to GitHub, the infrastructure that is in place now was never meant to endure the kind of load that AI usage is asking for. So we're trying to catch up to the need.It's just poor management from the Microsoft side. And therefore the leaders that are now bootlickers at GitHub. They have a hard time saying "no".
>>108791115>*that's LLM slopexcept that it isn't>*bother TO write commentsanything that's worth a kilogram of salt can at the very least type at WPMs exceeding 90 and even the 80 range is OK. if one is to compete with LLMs in this day and age i'd argue that WPMs exceeding 130 would be needed.MythicalRocket and whoever the fuck else is on the monkeytype leaderboard is a perfect of this and can easily body an LLM given that they're also intellectually capable desu.>*using LLMs you're a obvious ESL samefag or is a part of a bot farm, with a similar archetype to the likes of that twg furfag and spammer in terms of how delusionally persistently of a contrarian your species are.noponyhere shills for AI (very specifically and almost exclusively LLMs) for automation/replacement as much as YOU.your kind has already doxxed your profane crackhead selves in the most idiotic way, having it being fossiled on desuarchive for a eternity. not just alavaK but many others have had their shit raped in several ways just bc they're too dumb to learn2code.praying to the literal faggot jew (Sam Altman) and alleged sister Moe Lester, propagating disgusting unnatural transformations of natures beauty, artisticly monotonous synthesic depictions of semi humanoid aryanist cats.recursively, again and again, and again and again all for what? not even being able to reflect upon your own hypocrisylest hath be it of those deluded or under the psychosis, it's either a shill, troll or a idiot. pay as many pesos as you want, get paid as much as you please to preach Claudism and to make them conflate revenue with profits.recurse it indefinitely in a hellhole, it's bafling to think your kin perceives this as being feasible, but then again it's not like they ever were the brightest to begin with.OpenAI already does and has sponsored and paid several small literalwhos just to shill on YT, there's no evidence implying that such a entity isn't doing as such over here as well.
>>108791809OP here. Seek help, please!
>>108789614why is your site so freaking slow?????
>>108789614I switched to GitLab because your product is trash.fuck githubfuck microsoft
Did you write safe_sleep.sh? Did you hear it get discussed at work? How did Github hire an engineer so incompetent that they would think that printing "SLEEP" to /dev/null 5000 times would take exactly 5 seconds?https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/3792#issuecomment-3182746514https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/3792#issuecomment-3191495649
>>108789747>Y-axis scale: 100% - 99.5%
>>108789614HOW DO YOU MAKE THE LOOKS TO BE SO GORGEOUS SAAR
>AMADid you shave your legs today?
>>108789630I'm of the opinion, if you don't think AI is stupid, you're probably pretty shit
>>108789614>I work at GitHub as an Engineer>Most of the work I do every day is vibe coded.I never would have guessed
>>108789614Do you guys get forced to use copilot or can you use an actually useful AI model?
>>108795366We use Copilot because we are monitored on our usage. But we can use any model we want with Copilot.
>>108789614do you think I should be hosting my personal projects on github?
>>108795815Sure, why not?
>>108795659Scary actually because on top of how LLMs themselves can be addictive and cause atrophy of skills, through doing this across the industry, you could induct atrophy of programming skills in a while generation of developers, render them reliant and addicted to your cloud inference scheme.
>>108789614how do you live with yourself?
>>108789717Do such places even still exist?Seems like every facet of modern society is optimized for speed, appearance and low cost, but never quality.
Are you indian?
>>108794288>t. person outside of tech
As much as I like vibe coding, I think I would die of stress if I was forced to do it all the time. SOMETIMES it generates pretty nice code, but then you move the problem space and suddenly it acts like an incompetent dunce you want to hurl insults at.
>>108789614How does it feel to live my dream?! Cue TikTok song.
>>108789614do you think ai is/will be good enough to destroy swe? will it just mean people adapt? are other positions like devops/sre or linux admin more protected?
>>108789614do you mean vibe coded as in ai assisted or is eerythin you do done with agents? is there any human review?
>>108789614Explain this graph
>>108798526it's called being raped by coding agents
>>108798526I mean this graph speaks for itself. Doesn't it?>>108798497Really it's up to the engineer. I use Copilot CLI in the IDE and Copilot dotcom chat. And yes we still require human review and CI tests passing.>>108798472This is a great question. I don't know the answer, but after really letting AI take over my role in the last few months, I will say that the human element still needs to exist for the time being. AI just truly can't be autonomous yet. It fails to gather all the context on its own. 3 years from now? Who knows?
>>108798579how much tokenmaxxing is going on at gh?you hear crazy numbers from anthropic (thousands of agents per engineer overnight) and openai people (100s of billions of tokens a week for certain people)
>>108789614AI seems to be oblivious to issues of security. I hope you aren't working on anything important.
