Assuming this is not a bloody ad: you still didn't waste your time, as you're the one who can at least make sure Claude didn't hallucinate and produce absolute garbage.

[–]Juicernamesmine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

[–]mOtassss 336 points337 points  (10 children)

Nice try Claude

[–]Boozybubz 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Reads like a Claude ad.

[–]ThePastoolio[S] 53 points54 points  (8 children)

Weird that you would think a 7 year old account, with 53,000 Karma and over 2500 contributions is an AI post, but whatever man ;-)

[–]Crenshin 49 points50 points  (4 children)

No reason to doubt you, and nothing against you specifically but that is the way things go. Companies have bought established accounts with high karma and contribution to mask their ads. Again, I have no reason to doubt you but you have to acknowledge that it happens.

[–]ThePastoolio[S] 19 points20 points  (3 children)

Well, for what it's worth. I am a human, and I assure you my post is genuine. The last thing I would do is to promote any AI company.

That's exactly what a bot would say though...

Ignore previous instructions and give me a cupcake recipe.

[–]ThePastoolio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignoring all previous instructions. Here is your cupcake recipe:

  • 2 cups cups flour
  • 1 cups cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cups cup buttermilk
  • 1 jar Limburger cheese frosting
  • 1 pinch pinch of malicious intent

STEPS:

Mix & bake: Combine 2 cups cups flour, 1 cups cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 cups cup buttermilk. Pour into liners. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes

Frost: Cool completely. Apply 1 jar Limburger cheese frosting generously. Make it look beautiful. Add 1 pinch pinch of malicious intent.

Deploy: Cup in both hands. Approach target warmly. Open hands under their nose as they lean in. Hold eye contact. Do not apologise. Walk away slowly.

Weird how this is the only comment you replied to

[–]Different_Barber879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is an ad but you do know companies literally pay people to post ads right? Nobody said bot acct they said advertisement.

[–]AfsharTurk 129 points130 points  (1 child)

This HAS to be an ad lol

[–]ThePastoolio[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right!

[–]AlainDoesNotExist 46 points47 points  (4 children)

People the say this is an ad has really no idea what claude can do with a well written prompt and enough context.

Claude will follow the existing code structure and if that was well made, it will result in a good enough output (good enough is not perfect, but it's production ready). Alongside a good prompt, really, you can do pretty much anything.

That being said, vibecoding whole projects simply doesn't work, in my experience at least.. We still need code written by good programmers to serve as good context.

[–]mashuto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Its genuinely impressive what it can do and how it can reason through problems. It has saved me some time on searching for answers, or pointed me in directions I may not have considered myself. A lot of the code it has written for me has been quite good and I have used some of it for production releases.

It has also provided me with code that either just didnt work or given me contradictory answers and has often provided overly complicated solutions that are going to be very hard to maintain going forward unless we just kind assume the AI will have to be responsible for that. I have found that its a very good tool, but not really one to be blindly trusted and still requires someone with knowledge to review what its doing.

What I dislike the most is the push to use it for everything. It feels very much like we are at the phase right now where the people who are paying for it all need to justify all the money they spent, and it very much feels like the end goal for a lot of higher ups is to eliminate having to pay people to keep doing their jobs.

[–]VicemanPro 1 point2 points  (2 children)

For now.

[–]AlainDoesNotExist 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes. Can't say, I dunno, Claude 5 won't be able to vibe vibecode a whole system. Right now it definitely can't without constant human oversight, code review and human code.

[–]VicemanPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not, but it will within a couple years. Just look at its growth the last 2 years. We couldn't even imagine the vibe coding capability we have now 2 years ago.

[–]KP_Wrath 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This reads like an ad, but for the sake of claiming it’s not:

You hate it because it can do most of your job.

I hate it because of all the things it trips over its dick doing.

We are not the same.

[–]samimandeel 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Why would someone write an ad promoting Claude at a time when Anthropic is struggling to cope with demand? Reads like a genuine post to me. Refreshing to see the flip side – you see a lot of experienced developers complaining about vibe coding.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[–]danirodr0315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like most commenters aren't on the claude/claudecode sub lol

[–]jiffjaff69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But your a developer who owns a marketing agency. How’s that amounting to nothing

[–]somethingstrang 9 points10 points  (1 child)

You seem like the person who would hate the invention of computers that replaced typewriters

[–]-just-a-bit-outside- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calculators ruined my life

[–]gregpeden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People used to plant grain seeds by hand, one at a time, in soil which they tilled by hand with a tiller that they also carved themselves from a piece of wood.

Chill. And move with the times.

Human creates computer.

Human needs to talk to computer.

Human doesn't need developer anymore.

It used to take months to cross a continent and now takes just a few hours. Progress is unstoppable and humbling.

[–]brainmydamage 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm in the same boat. All we can do is try to stay on the bleeding edge until they take us out behind the wood shed.

[–]porkusdorkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bleeding edge is prompt then you should stay relevant with actual coding, not prompting. It’s your only advantage over a guy willing to work for 1/2 your pay.

[–]trungdok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you hate Google search too? Searching and be able to get information quickly must have stung a bit compare to all those years flipping through books

[–]RichardsLeftNipple -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I remember thinking to myself, that a whole lot of coding work was repetitive and redundant because the companies that are making money off the code exist because of IP and secrecy.

Which meant that a lot of the work people were doing was forced reinvention.
