Programmers are cooked.
…works on my machine
My boss sat me down recently and was telling me about how I needed to adapt because AI was going to take my job soon. Somehow it was suppose to be an inspiring meeting about my career growth. I just walked away blackpilled at the stupidity of leadership in the company.

The pain of misplaced apostrophes is why I’m not a programmer
I hate that word. I used a possessive apostrophe like this (its’) for years before somebody finally told me that rule doesn’t apply to its for some unknown reason.
I recently started and left a dev job after just over 2 weeks because the new boss was chugging the AI kool-aid. Luckily I got a late offer from another place I’d applied to and I was able to get the fuck out of there.
Sorry, wrong link for some reason, it’s supposed to be 192.168.1.36
Hate to be that guy, but localhost is 127.0.0.1, not 172.0.0.1 (which is actually a public IP address)
Eh… don’t want to be mean but that’s what’s called an “IP address” for Internet Protocol Address… but this one is for your LAN, aka Local Area Network.
So that won’t work, people outside your LAN can’t reach it. What you need instead is a domain. What most people don’t know though is that there is a special domain name anybody can use for free! Check this out, assuming your LLM did the right setup do all that step, making website, starting Web server then try :
localhost and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!

Can I do that from Internet Explorer or do I have to use Safari?
This goes back some years, back when the ping of death was still a thing. I used to hang out in IRC channels and someone decided they needed to show me what a real hacker could do. The dork asked for my IP which was hilarious to begin with, so I replied “127.0.0.1”. About 2 seconds later I see them disconnect from IRC.
A minute goes by and they are back online, spitting mad. Tells me the m lucky their computer crashed but I’d better get ready…and disconnected again.
Back again and folks are dying laughing thanks to my 1337 teenage hacker skills but eventually someone spills that 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Instantly I’m talking to zero cool again and was too scared to give out my actual address. Being a hardened nerd, this time I complied.
I was on slackware and had already figured out their game from the get go; oh and I actually knew how to find an IP. So right in the middle of this future titan of industry’s insults and threats…they disconnect one last time. 😎
IRC exposed users ips, so not only did they not understand their low orbit ion cannon firing at localhost was self inflicted, but they didn’t actually need to ask for your ip at all.
Why it was funny in the first place. I knew I was messing with the best.
You did not: knowyourmeme.com/memes/hack-127001#fn12
I mean… this is definitely the kind of stuff that happened to “hacker” kiddos back in the days, this stuff probably happened a lot of time.
I swear on my life this happened to me but I don’t care if you believe me or not.
How do you know that wasn’t OP?
He’s bringing it back!
As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it’s just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.
Small upcharge? Unfucking a whole front end and backend should be more than small.
They may just be fucked front ends running completely client side, with broken functionality due to no backend
This reminds me of a video where a girl was like “yeah so you know all that streaming stuff is so expensive? Thanks to AI I coded my own Netflix streaming site…”
And there was this one comment like “Backend???” and she was like “Yeah I dont know what that is, but if you want a part 2 I can do that later” 😂
Just tell her about Jellyfin I guess
👍
Entire website
Also known as the most basic thing you could ever do
Saw a generated site, but it just made up plausible image links and also went image heavy so it was a bunch of broken image icons as it linked to nowhere.
Haha your job is so done
I made an entire website for my ship using notepad by frankensteining together other websites. Everyone on board thought I was a genius. How wrong they are.
bro still on windows 💀
No hate, but I am relieved to switch back to Windows 10 after a year of Fedora. Partly because I need Windows for work, but mostly because Fedora and GNOME suck.
Never tried them, what did you hate?
id prefer fedora with kde for just working. but i personally use arch for gameing :3
I gave Claude a shot at guiding me through an install of a matrix home server the other day. It got about halfway through before it absolutely shat itself. I mean like going in circles and completely incapable of breaking itself out.
And that’s for a fairly easy sysadmin task. Not even doing it right, just doing it to the point where the service can be brought up and be accessible. I cannot believe anyone is under the impression that these bots are going to take anyone’s jobs. The only thing that’s going to “destroy jobs” is the rabid desperation management has to destroy labor.
Yeah that’s a common issue I’ve seen with Gemini and ChatGPT as well. They can do simple tasks but as soon as it’s something that requires more than a 5-6 steps, or if there are complications along the way they will get lost. Also ChatGPT will commonly just make up commands if it doesn’t actually know how to do something.
I will say that after I went back to my previous usage pattern of going as far as I could alone and then asking the chatbot what went wrong it did save me a ton of time by suggesting I check whether caddy was importing from conf.d, which it wasn’t.
Taking a break and walking around the neighborhood probably would have been almost as effective, but this way my fat ass could stay inside and keep drinking coffee
I did the same thing a few days ago, but I’m also pretty well versed with self hosting tedious-to-configure services. I would have spent hours rabbit-holing before setting up, and Claude just sped up the process.
I spent most of my time researching and forming an action plan, arguably the most important piece. Within two hours I had a Matrix server stood up with element-web, as well as coturn for calls. Setting up Element-Call for groups took a little longer, but not terrible all told.
I guess what I’m saying is if you’re experienced with a given task, it can be a really great tool to speed things along. If you want to sit back and have it run the show, you’re going to have a rough time.
Instructions unclear, stuck in Ralph loop
Fuck man, I was talking about this exact shit today.
During in my data science master’s program, someone unironically sent me a localhost link to a Jupyter Notebook.
In the really early days a guy who loved trolling before trolling had a name had a link on his website that just pointed to the users downloads folder. Really freaked out some people that clicked on it.
Ah the good ol days of Active X. Could pull some pretty sick pranks back then.
I made a Zip bomb, hid it, called it virus, and found the school OS reinstalled for what would have been a relatively harmless, and very basic trick.
My localhost website was a pong clone that I ran out of boredom. Of course, it was name index html.
This was me in high school. In my first Intro to Computer Science class, they taught me how to make a website in html.
Nobody told me that you need a domain. Guess how I found out.
Well, technically you don’t need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don’t have your own IP (like a shared host) you’ll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.
Yes. My mistake. What I meant to say is that I didn’t realize you needed something to host the site on. I tried to send my friend the file and expected them to open it…from my computer.
I was a bit of a noob back in the day.
I’d sooner use Frontpage.
Frontpage Express is how I learned basic HTML.
Basically I’d make something look like how I wanted, then just delete all the extra trash and repeating tags until I knew enough of what it did to write my own.
Likewise.
Unfortunately everything else I learned was ethereal and went away, and I’ve got a learning disability that really doesn’t like it when a new system is slightly different than a previous system I’d learned.
I was all in on .shtml (anything but php or css), Shockwave/Macromedia Director 7 and Bryce for graphics.
I could never get back into it using the mainstream stuff.
Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.
I thought I used Coffezilla, but it looks like maybe it was CoffeeCup, except at a glance I’m not sure that’s a WYSIWYG editor. Maybe things changed in the intervening decades.
Somewhere, in the dephts of the ancient 56k web, exists a website I made with friends when we were in middle school. It’s actually still online, and half of the resources are pulled from urls like file:///D:/MegaSite/lol.JPG
This data has been lost forever, but yet, somehow, parts of that yesteryears afternoon at my friend’s are still here.
I‘d sooner use a 25 year old pirated version of Macromedia Dreamweaver.
Angelfire was the peak.
frontpage was a rare microslop win
FrontPage was initially created by Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies, Incorporated, evidence of which can be easily spotted in file names and directories prefixed vti in web sites created using FrontPage. Vermeer was acquired by Microsoft in January 1996 specifically so that Microsoft could add FrontPage to its product line-up, allowing them to gain an advantage in the browser wars, as FrontPage was designed to create web pages for their own browser, Internet Explorer.
Man, Frontpage was the fucking bomb. I passed my computing class in highschool by just making websites in frontpage.
And it’s ten million lines of typescript on ten nested frameworks.
Which is funny, since even a non-techie can setup a website using wordpress.
A lot of them do.
or our sponsor, squarespace! use code “lemmygeddat” for a whopping 5% off your first day!
I made a piracy streaming app with iptv for me to use on my phone and tv.
Local storage? Wouldn’t it be saved to their OneDrive?
Pretty much sums up a lot of younger people who didn’t grow up learning far more hands-on basic computer use. Z and A are gonna be the “AI” generation that surrenders the last of critical thought and hands it all to walled gardens of instant, tailored, and curated information.
This motherfucker over here is ruining the good name of Bens all over the planet
TIL that I’m a programmer
Idk, if you show ai this image itd tell you how to host it
oh snap, root’s here
My direct experience is that, using chatgpt, making basic html DOM elements is simple, but coding behaviours in a reliable manner isn’t as simple. And css shouldn’t even need AI to be coded effectively. Javascript is the part where the ineffciency and the weird behaviour of a website are. I bet there are professional web design tools that use ai, but using genAI for that is…uh
Getting it to open on someone else’s computer is like the first thing about web development
