That number is at the high end of what I usually see for consulting work. The high hourly rate has to cover all of the HR and accounting overhead, invoicing, marketing, business development, and the opportunity cost of short term engagement vs. long term engagements.
You're getting downvoted because you didn't get reference.
It was an Apple ad where some actress from Stranger Things said that after somebody asked her what she was doing on her computer (IPad).
It wasn't well received because it was almost a celebration of customer ignorance. But in recent decades that seems to be the case with their marketing.
Just make it executable using chmod +x and call it like you would just anything you want to "run".
If it "does not work" then you need to change your CPU by getting another motherboard.
That will be $3k
I'm not sure whether to be proud - joy of missing out - or ashamed.
I just ... This is block chain hype, man. But my friend is subbed to all those, and she ain't even got a job; just looking and applying. And I'm over here in emacs just doing C(good), Ruby(bad), and Ansible(ugly).
I still think no-code tools are better suited for building prototypes without requiring development knowledge in order to prove your idea. LLMs just added a complicated extra-step.
But these aren't just any apps, these are shitty half-assed apsps generated from a slurry of unrelated mediocre code scraped from the corners of the web.
I am not looking forward to next year when every new aspect of any service I use online will have an 80% chance to be a half-assed shit slurry.
Today's 65% chance was already time consuming and exhausting.
Vibe-coding is absolutely protecting real programmers from the constant bombardment of wannabe entrepreneurs that just need a tech person to write their idea.
I’d argue it is protecting programmers. Previously, people would waste programmers’ time with poorly concepted/uncreative app ideas. But now people are going “oh I can do that on my own”, and wasting their own time with AI vibe coding.
The old "I have this great idea for an app! If you build it for me, you can have 10% of the profits!".
And then you ask for the idea, and at first they don't want to give it away with your agreement, and in the end it turns out to be either whatsapp of amazon.

And I got a real job that I will be doing for longer than a week, so the the money has to justify me spending my rare free time.

Is that a number you can actually charge? Because if so, there's some prices I'm gonna have to raise.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
You can charge it, but that doesn't mean anyone's gonna pay it. Highly depends on your specific market and skillset.
At the very least, it's definitely useful as a "fuck you" price.

Slap on a zero.
Also, minimum billing is in increments of 1 week

Well they'd be asking the AI this lol
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 91 pts · 1y
Okay, there's one benefit from LLMs.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 107 pts · 1y
AI stops tech bros from bothering real programmers
Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de · 21 pts · 1y
They try to vibe code it, eventually get bored and give up. It's win win (for AI companies and for programmers) in this case.

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
At least my million dollar ideas friends wasting AI's time with the useless crap, instead of ruining a perfectly nice meal conversation with me.
Of course, I know it is only buying me a few months. The "quick fix to my AI app" requests are gathering on the horizon.

They still ask you why their garbage doesn't work or how to run a PDF.
I'm not even a computer programmer, I do industrial automation!

Oh, I didn't even recognize one as a logo and was completely fine with the meme adding a blood-splat to the soldier.

AI companies i believe

AI / Vibe coding software (companies)
snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 21 pts · 1y
What are the icons? Some sort of AI code products?
qaz@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 1y
Yes. Vibe coding tools and AI companies
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 21 pts · 1y

firelizzard@programming.dev · 25 pts · 1y
I think the point is, the kind of people who have “million dollar ideas” are now using LLMs instead of pestering real programmers.
vane@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y
Ah yes because we need more apps.

am i wrong or is this a terrible meme format for what it's trying to say?edit: it was the former

I was initially confused as well, but I do think the meme format matches.

idk the soldier is supposed to be a negation/protection rather than providing/helping with something.
this seems more appropriate for the mercy meme or something.
