His first mistake is to call it AI.
This is what FAFO in public looks like. Gold!
I’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”
Then proceed to do something even worse.
Or when you say there’s something wrong and the new version is just the same with comments
Because if I choose squirrel everytime I’ll never get anything done.
This cannot NOT be satire, come on. It’s too fucking funny
I don’t think it’s satire. Miami has become a mecca for crypto bros and “tech” fraudsters.
Why do those fish always pose with some dude holding them?
Ever watched a fish stand up?
They need to be held.
There’s like 2 people who will get the reference, but fuck it, here it comes.
Don’t we all really?
It’s a child, that fish just wants to look bigger
Bet you $1,000 the credentials are stored in plain text.
Not just plain text, but hard coded.
Obviously hand coded. After all, he just discovered that there are people, or more probably bots, who will use open resources for their own uses.
Classic vibe coder things.
I’ve never seen an LLM response be cavalier with credentials.
I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.
It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil
Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.
I wanted to edit my Ghostty themes but found out a lot of the colors are in #hexadecimal notation. I like #rrggbb percentage style colors (b/c they are easy to tweak by hand) and I couldn’t find an online color picker that would output that format, so I used deepseek (free) & now have a scrappy ass one w Python & Tkinter completely via “vibe” coding (I call it Clyde Color Picker. It’s adorable).
Pretty awesome when you’re just some dumbass who needs a very specific tool and not trying to fleece people.
I use AI toolings to generate snippets of bash scripts because I can’t be fucked to remember that syntax. Obviously not for anything with high risks or that I can’t easily verify. But things like parsing through mass amounts of files
But… bash snippet extensions already exist. The only difference is maybe it doesn’t auto name your variables for you. I’d take that over non-deterministic LLM outputs.
Lol, I’m surprised it only took two days.
2 days for him to realize something wrong
F around and find out
If I were
leojr94, I’d be mad as hell about this impersonator soiling the good name ofleojr94—most users probably don’t even notice the underscore.
