Vibe management? Is that what they mean by "edge" computing?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 7 hours ago

Don't mind me, boss - I'm just vibin' on the edge.

"You must be able to read code faster than you write it, spotting hallucinations, security vulnerabilities, and logic errors instantly."

I've seldomly come across a more delusional statement...

Understanding the intricacies of someone else's code takes longer than writing code yourself. Good luck to this company!

"You don't need to know how to code but you must be able to spot code bugs at the speed of thought"

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago

I just spotted the first logic error.

This is written like an AI prompt.

[–] StellarSt0rm@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I think the text is AI generated, "you will not just be writing code; you will be orchestrating it", literally "its not x - its y" but written a little differently.

Edit: Forgot the "just" in the quote

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 4 points 11 hours ago

Remember to tell it not to put any bugs in its output! That's sure to help.

Reading: yes
Comprehending: no

This company wants to fail in record time

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 116 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Prompt engineer" is a legitimate profession to people who think "how fast you can type Python" is what determines the skill level of an actual programmer.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 points 5 hours ago

For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It's not about how fast you're typing but what you're typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.

Bur bad managers can't accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

When people type 70wpm andit it requires thier full attention, it seems intuitive that this is a bottleneck. I just don't believe that's the typical state of affairs for most devs. Most management, sure.

I'm not saying there aren't some code that get written that is braindead simple and have a lot of keystrokes (builders come to mind) but modern IDEs will generate them for you. We already had a plethora of deterministic code generation tools at our fingertips.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

I'll give it a shot, but I must be able to use my laptop to vibe-interview.

[–] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 82 points 1 day ago (3 children)

As a cybersecurity researcher, I see this as an absolute win.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 56 points 1 day ago

Vibe coding will secure your job for years to come. Congrats on the job security

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Strongly reconsidering respecing my career into this. But there's a risk it'll just become "some junior with Dunning Kruger vibe coded this shite, now you have to fix it"

[–] nailingjello@piefed.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Success is the only possible outcome.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is some State-of-the-art (SOTA) bullshit right here.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Some SOTA bullshit!

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We are all in on AI at work finally. I want to keep my job so I guess I have to stop being a Luddite.

I am mortgaging my career though. Letting AI do the work saps my problem solving skills and I lose what I have spent my whole career building.

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

Oh, I very much doubt it. AI just introduces lots of new kinds of problems to solve.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

I wish the Internet never existed so I wouldn't have to see opinions like these

[–] drre@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Name and shame them. Who are they? just that we can about their "services"

[–] drre@feddit.org 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

found the add. company is called nnamu.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

32 hours over 4 days and 24 days paid vacation. It’s an hour less than my job I might do it.

[–] entwine@programming.dev 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Apply, get the job, then just have an AI agent do all the work for you

[–] frischkaesbagett@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

It is required to mention your LinkedIn account for applying.

[–] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 15 points 1 day ago

Act as the rigorous gatekeeper for AIgenerated code.

Well, in a way I'm already doing this.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Minimum 15 years of experience.

[–] melfie@lemy.lol 11 points 1 day ago
