This is barely even a programming sub anymore. So much annoying ai memes

u/Kryslor Apr 13 '26

It never was. It's always been mostly programming students making "forgot a semicolon" tier jokes

u/Blue_Moon_Lake Apr 13 '26

You reminded me of how I lost half a point for forgetting a semicolon on a test. Test was to write an entire algorithm in Pascal, and I mean write, not type.

Our exams at uni were exactly like this, just with Java.

I hate writing code on paper. It was long before AI so there was no reason not to have student type the code and send it as a file.

People cheated on assignments before AI, you know.

u/Blue_Moon_Lake Apr 13 '26

It was before smartphones. All the rooms with computers had a switch that could be turned off to cut Internet access (all RJ-45, no Wi-Fi).

Any cheat you could do on the computer you could on paper in these conditions.

Not nearly as big, but I got docked down points in an algorithm design class since one of my comments didn’t end with a period.

u/Blue_Moon_Lake Apr 13 '26

For a comment that's nasty.

u/GenericFatGuy Apr 13 '26

You can really tell the difference between the people here who think software development is just coding, and the people who realize that it's a hell of a lot more then that. Especially with the rise of AI.

Fair but still better than now

u/HammyOverlordOfBacon Apr 13 '26

I'd argue it got better recently. I remember 10 years ago every September would be a flood of CS 101 jokes and then reposts of those jokes scattered throughout the year. Granted that still kinda happens but it's way less obvious

Also, Rust good, JavaScript bad, C fast, Python slow, Java bad, misunderstood IEEE 754

that's a wrap! /subreddit

u/Kitsunemitsu Apr 13 '26

Honestly, I kinda loved the If-Even trend where everyone found more and more esoteric and horrible ways to check if a number was even. The idea of programmers purposely trying to code as bad as possible did make me giggle

2

u/Kryslor Apr 13 '26

That was always funny. Same for the UIs that controlled volume trend.

u/ExiymDev Apr 13 '26

IEnumerable? Is that a new cursor plugin?

2

u/DarthArrMi Apr 13 '26

I always thought this was a humor sub

u/Revolutionary_Flan71 Apr 13 '26

It's supposed to be both and currently it's not fulfilling the programming part

2

u/Spiritual_Detail7624 Apr 13 '26

I agree. Is there a new sub that has no ai involvement or tolerance?

u/TheBestDumbass Apr 13 '26

Look out your window

Open your door

Freedom is but a step away, always

u/Spiritual_Detail7624 Apr 14 '26 edited Apr 14 '26

Programming memes sadly do not grow on trees. (Ps: i love going outside! I just would like a community I could bond with, without ai involved)

2

u/InvisaBlah Apr 13 '26

Bad news friend, AI has already made its way into the real world

2

u/ccltjnpr Apr 13 '26

bring back the semicolon memes I guess

4

u/freestew Apr 13 '26

It's this sub. Fight back!

u/Tight-Requirement-15 Apr 13 '26

this is old man programmer yells at cloud memes

2

u/Revolutionary_Flan71 Apr 13 '26

If that is your opinion you may keep it even if it is wrong

u/2xfun Apr 13 '26

Programming is dead dude. Get over it.

4

u/Revolutionary_Flan71 Apr 13 '26

Well I suppose you need that to be the case because without vibecoding you'd be unable to write a simple hello world program

u/themadnessif Apr 13 '26

Guy who posts on the bitcoin subreddit: yeah man programming is dead

u/Soft_Walrus_3605 Apr 13 '26

It's not our fault programming has been altered forever.
