      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.

          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!

          Not that stupid. PDF is scriptable.

                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.

                  I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

                  Or

                  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.

                        Is that a number you can actually charge? Because if so, there's some prices I'm gonna have to raise.

                          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.

                              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
