I cringed so hard that I now require medical attention.
I genuinely can’t distinguish between satire and reality anymore.
Can someone, anyone, tell me where it is that you work where input speed is the bottleneck in software development?
Because I have genuinely never worked at any company where the main thing holding up development was that developers weren’t typing fast enough.
When you’re vibe coding, you need to narrate long prompts, including things like “And remember not to hallucinate or make any errors.” All that is a lot faster to say than type.
Clearly, you’re not vibe coding, and your job will be (checks notes) automated away by someone with a #grindset.
/s, in case that wasn’t obvious.
If youre not using a custom instruction that brute forces different ways to try to get the other model not to fuck uo youre doing it wrong. If that doesn’t work, add another llm into the pipe
Edit what is a token and why is my boss sending me angry emails
It’ easy to convince management it is
Unless they’re aware of The Mythical Man-Month
God how i wish anyone I worked with understood throwing bodies at every problem doesn’t mean it gets fixed faster. On the the other end of problems, they don’t understand a developer can’t just start developing on immediately on complex application.
God being in project orient work is a pain.

what i find interesting is that this app superwhisper is just AI speech to text, mostly based on local open weights models like whisper (though also giving access to proprietary cloud-only models). they’re charging a subscription for text to speech. and it’s all for the sake of slopcoding faster. amazing. if you haven’t seen someone use text to speech to slopcode, look up videos of people sincerely using AI to slopcode, it’s incredible how the paths of software engineering diverged.
edit: and of course the main bottleneck when having an AI do shit isn’t the talking, it’s the AI actually doing the stuff that by far takes the longest.
edit again: i missed the free plan, oops. still, a speech to text subscription is ridiculous.
When playing with prompts before I realized how stupid this whole thing was (in 2023 lol), I found myself also copying and pasting a lot so… it’s probably not even going to speed things up in prompting, even ignoring the whole thinking part that we’ll omit here since, well, they probably aren’t.
Hang on. They had to ship three major updates in a single morning? How the hell is their workflow so bad that they have to- Oh yeah. Vibecoding.
If you see anyone wearing this shit, remember that you can laugh at how stupid they look as much as you want, and their weak copium that it’s a “skill issue” will be swallowed by their copium mask. So you’re free to laugh until they cry.
Hey - they can whisper entire codebases with it
()[]{}:!-_@#%*/;.
imagine trying to whisper these
open parentheses close parentheses open square bracket close square bracket open curly bracket close curly bracket colon exclamation point hyphen underscore at sign pound sign percent symbol asterisk forwardsl slash semicolon period
Wow I’m so efficient!
super aside, the text to speech in R.e.p.o doesn’t pronounce parentheses but it does for square and curly brackets, which you can type really fast and then annoy your friends with minute long voice lines.
pound signOctothorpe, ftfy
On the one hand, each and every one of those has at least one pronounceable name, but on the other, I think these masks are for natural language, conversational AI prompt generation, so there’d be little to no need for any of them.
You’ve got to remember that this is being marketed towards bosses and C-levels who haven’t written a line of code in their lives, or have completely forgotten how, much preferring to tell people what they want and then expecting it to magically appear in front of them as soon as possible.

I was wondering about this
And all without a single junior dev in the open office hearing their genius. Aside from the junior dev who bought the fucking thing in the vain hope they could roleplay as a more competent employee. That junior dev can hear themself going “no, fuck, delete, how do I- no, stop typing, you stupid fucking thing”, which I assume counts as “genius”.
Something something that guy that buys way too much golf shit and still loses the game.
Input speed is basically never an issue for development work, as long as you have basic proficiency …
Though this dipshit might be right that his coworkers who don’t go all-in on LLM bullshit might get “automated” away, most managers literally don’t care about the quality of their product, and most ethical issues are probably a bonus instead of a detriment to them.
Except that you’re not entering code. You’re not even mapping out algorithms or data structures or reasoning about tradeoffs, as that’s for dirty-handed peasants. You’re constantly supervising and arguing with an army of industrious yet dim-witted sorcerers’ apprentices. Your voice is a lump hammer that you’re trying to hammer a large structure you’re above needing to understand into the shape it’s meant to be in, with each blow moving a lump randomly, and your mental capacity is fully occupied with forming and refining folk theories about how the mechanised idiots you command actually think.
also what asinine dev team manager is “optimizing for output”??? that’s like the worst idea. it’s like judging carpenters by “most nails used”.
The obvious outcome of this is an army of juniors making the cut solely because their tasks were to update package.lock.
