gaps
diary of a programmer 88
the robot divide is growing. the gap between us regular old engineers and the machine learning engineers was one thing. but the gap has gotten weird. the vibe coders are creating their own little universe of ai written application code. it’s like the new generation coming up with their own slang. us old folks still beep booping away manually with our fingers using
old editors like neovim (the new Vim, a terminal based editor souped up, hyper wired
with plugins and themes) and VsCode. already Cursor is old. there is a faster lane now. while we are still waiting for the big change. the time when claude wakes up and really starts creating. it’s not far off now. two to three years. maybe a bit more if capitalism does dip
its greedy hands in and throw a spanner into the works. meanwhile people are getting abducted by ICE in MN. not just there. not just abducted– murdered. Iran has been protesting. Ukraine war continues. GAZA FUCKING STRIP is genociding. climate change.
gap. gap. gap. gap.
is claude going to save us all? or let us starve? is he going to equip us with the key to a super computer future of universal income so we can all just fucking relax already? move the human race up a notch. eyeroll. can’t bang a sex bot yet. can’t produce an audience
better than claude. can’t feed and shelter the entire world at the same time. not even
for twenty minutes. armies of electronic dogs coming and birds in the sky that poop bombs just like the first video game I ever coded. just press the spacebar to poop on the man.
