because jim jones had his followers drink it to kill them. the comparison for coders is what makes me wonder if you know the horribleness of it. even kids. many did not know it was poison.
No he didn't, which is why I made the joke about Flavor Aid
Jones proposed "revolutionary suicide" by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix made from Flavor Aid, later misidentified as Kool-Aid, that was lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs.
im not talking about kool aid. that is used like kleenex. I just wanted to be sure you understood where it came from because honestly I don't see the analogy. spagetti code is like code suicide maybe???
For the record, actual software engineers can instruct AI in a way that doesn't make spaghetti of their projects. They thoroughly review and polish before committing the code. Which makes AI coding far more useful to those wielding that power.
But I know I'll just be down voted for speaking truth on this platform, so go ahead and smash that button folks.
I agree wholeheartedly with this. Just because AI made the concepts accessible to novices doesn't mean they have the temperament or experience to not make a mess.
AI has been a huge boon for our development but we also have people that know how to build software, review code, manage commits, follow architectural guidelines, and call out junk when they see it.
Having AI blindly write you a crappy application doesn't make you a "developer" any more than having Excel makes you an "accountant."
So you don't think there's any correlation with Microsoft saying they're increasing their AI code and the significant increase in bugs / poor performance on their OS?
After laying everyone off, I'm not sure they have anyone left to instruct the AI competently. It was never a great organization for talented engineers anyway (not saying they didn't have any but that the ones they did have would always be underutilised)

To be fair, cult members are actually drinking flavor-aid. I think vibe coders are actually eating sloppy joes.

You'd think Kool-Aid would have objected to being the brand ending up in the colloquialism.

Look…
if you had
mom’s spaghetti…
would you capture it, or just let it slip?
yo! His palms spaghetti, knees weak, arms spaghetti!
there’s vomit on his sweater, spaghetti, mom’s spaghetti
he’s nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm spaghetti, to drop bombs
but he keeps on spaghetti what he wrote down
The whole crowd goes spaghetti!
He opens his mouth but spaghetti won’t come out
he’s chokin’ how, everybody’s jokin’ now!
spaghetti’s run out…
time’s up, over! Blaugh!
snap back to spaghetti - oh there goes spaghetti, oh - there goes spaghetti
blaugh!
he’s so mad, but won’t give up spaghetti
nope, he won’t have it
he knows he keeps on forgetting
that mom’s spaghetti’s dope
he knows that, but he’s broke, he’s so stagnant
he knows when he goes back to his mom’s spaghetti
that’s when it’s back to the lab again, yo
this whole spaghetti
better go capture spaghetti
and hope it don’t pass him
You better lose yourself in ya mom’s spaghetti! It’s ready!
you better never let it go!
you only get one spaghetti, do not miss your chance to blow
cause spaghetti comes once in a lifetime..
YO!!!

Actual software engineers already make spaghetti code. They invented the term.
AI just makes it faster.

It's the difference between getting AI to write your essay and getting it to draft your essay. It's a tool, not a replacement for human work.
That being said, it's a tool that's actively endangering our future livelihoods.
