Not my problem

Bro can you fix my broken vibe coded app?
- For 200 bucks an hour
  
  300 minimum for contract work
  I've got mouths to feed
  
  Slap on a zero.
  Also, minimum billing is in increments of 1 week
- Well they'd be asking the AI this lol
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.
- AI stops tech bros from bothering real programmers
  
  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!
- Everything's computer
  
  So it's over, isn't it? The nitpickers are here to stay
  
  What's a computer?
- how to run a PDF
  Not that stupid. PDF is scriptable.
  
  It was plenty stupid in that context
What are the three logos?
- Cursor https://cursor.com/en
  Claude Code https://claude.ai/
  Lovable https://lovable.dev/
- Oh, I didn't even recognize one as a logo and was completely fine with the meme adding a blood-splat to the soldier.
  
  That's Kurt Vonnegut's illustration of an anus.
- AI companies i believe
- AI / Vibe coding software (companies)
What are the icons? Some sort of AI code products?
- Yes. Vibe coding tools and AI companies
- One of them looks like a butthole, so it must be ai tools
“It’s like Facebook, but for people’s pets!”
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.
- I think the point is, the kind of people who have “million dollar ideas” are now using LLMs instead of pestering real programmers.
Ah yes because we need more apps.
- 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.
~~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.
- I like it to be honest
  
  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.
