Your friend and mine, Tim Sweeney of Epic Games, is going even harder into the AI slop. He tweeted: [Twitter, archive] We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool…

‘No more hand-written code’

    Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look.

    Just pure fellow vibecoders cringe.

      Why did they phrase it like that? “Programming is too hard for us, because we’re incompetent and lazy. So, instead of doing that, we’re vibe coding.” Even when they’re trying to brag, they know that deep down, vibe coding is about half-assing and cutting corners, not improving efficiency or quality.

      @Architeuthis @dgerard well, they couldn’t have vibed one that retains the old look. That’s not what you get from the slopbot
