I think the Vibecoding reddit has accidentally stumbled on the best description of vibecoding:

It's "roleplay for guys [it is always guys] who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part".

What’s the point of vibe coding if I still have to pay a dev to fix it?

what’s the point of vibe coding if at the end of the day i still gotta pay a dev to look at the code anyway. sure it feels kinda cool while i’m typing, like i’m in some flow state or whatever, but when stuff breaks it’s just dead weight. i cant vibe my way through debugging, i cant ship anything that actually matters, and then i’m back to square one pulling out my wallet for someone who actually knows what they’re doing. makes me think vibe coding is just roleplay for guys who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part. am i missing something here or is it really just useless once you step outside the fantasy

| recently heard about a teacher who instead of
trying to circumvent students using ai, which is
impossible, she made assignments by going "ask
ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and
then research how and why it's wrong".
Not only did the students discover that chatGPT
is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead
them to realize that they should not use it as a
primary source.

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books

Panel 1:
A robot stands before a tech CEO’s desk
“Sir, I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to read so many wonderful books! In fact, I've written a poem to express-“

The CEO cuts him off
“You're here to generate content, not express yourself.”

Panel 2:
Robot, enthusiastically “I'm just proud to be working to pay back all those great writers who taught me so much! “
CEO “The only people we're paying back are the investors.”

Panel 3:
Robot “Well, at least with all this money we can try to make the world a better place!

(No reply )

“Sir?”

CEO “Can someone take this thing away, please

Panel 4:
The robot wanders alone and mutters tearfully “Creating shareholder value is a kind of creativity, isn't it? … Sob!”

I mean, bypassnro.cmd just does:
`reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f`

So what Microsoft is saying is that they want to make it more work to install Windows without a Microsoft Account? 🤔
