I just went to check that job posting for "Vibe Coder" [0]

> At least 50% of the code you write right now should be done by AI; Vibe coding experience is non-negotiable.

That is absolutely ridiculous.. As the kids say these days, I think that company is cooked.

This startup has its staff working 12-15 hour days to use AI to write the code for an AI system that gets people to pay up on their debts. Collecting debts involves dealing with people who are in difficult, exceptional situations: I have no faith that they are willing to properly engage with any of the detail. I have absolutely no doubt that this company will leave a long trail of suicides behind it.

Bootcampers have brought their gold digging ethos with them into our industry and will soon outnumber those of us who prioritize safety and quality.

"The safety and welfare of society and the common good, duty to our principals, and duty to each other, require that we adhere, and be seen to adhere, to the highest ethical standards of behavior."[0]

I've never seen a more cursed job posting than this.

[jf22]

Over 50% of my code is AI generated. You couldn't tell the difference between the AI code and what I wrote by hand two years ago.

[do_not_redeem]

I've heard of self-deprecation but this is on a whole new level

[jf22]

I think you meant this as an insult but the tools are that good.

[red-iron-pine]

which tools. name and shame.

[joquarky]

If you're reviewing and shaping the AI's output with care, then it is your code.

It's kind of like using autocomplete in Gmail: nobody says, “Well, Google wrote 20% of that message.”

We just quietly thank the autocomplete gods for saving us from typing “per my last email” one more time.

Tell me this is some kind of parody.

"Putting in 12 to 15-hour days, the engineering team has traveled to +10 cities in the past half-year for product launches."

"Solve deep product problems like how to collect more money with a voice AI agent."

Next "killer app"...an app you can send a phone call to the moment you realize it's a spammer/collector/etc. The app uses an LLM and voice synth to have the most boring and frustrating conversation ever with the caller. It should frequently ask them to repeat themselves, pretend to misunderstand common words, and for bonus points...speak in a broken accent. I'd pay $20 for that app right now.

Like the experiment O2 did last year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV_SdCfZ-0s

It ends up with AIs chatting between them over the phone in like 1 year top

[bambax]

Their mission statement is: "Automating debt collection calls for banks".

Which is kind of funny, because if it's an automated call you don't need to even take it. Who picks up the phone from unknown numbers these days?

[dzhiurgis]

People who are sick receiving 1000 automated calls per day. Eventually you'll cave in.

[morcus]

The crazy thing is when that was first posted to HN, the salary was 50% lower.

Shocking that no one wanted to work there.

How do I short this

[rsynnott]

I mean, honestly, everything about that ad comes across as basically a parody of a terrible tech company. 12-15 hour days! The actual product! I’m having some difficulty believing it’s real.
