Programmers are cooked.
Behold! My vibe coded website!
That looks exactly like mine! Did you copy me?
Nah, his AI was just trained on the same dataset.
It’s asking for a password.
Edit: Never mind, I tried the one from my luggage and it worked.
I didn’t know those photos had gone public. I swear it isn’t what it looks like!
It’s amazing i love the frontend!
Honestly, it looks like janky shit. That CSS looks like some moron cobbled it together.
Im so disappointed that this isnt a rick roll link
It might be for some of us
At least you got the http server running.
What was that bash.org quote where the guy hacks into 127.0.0.1 and deletes his hard drive?
deleted by creator
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 i’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: https://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!
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. Oh yeah, we are 1 year into an AI adoption program and most people stopped using it 6 months ago due to it making them look like idiots with it’s mistakes.

The pain of misplaced apostrophes is why I’m not a programmer
Modern compilers have got your back. Simple compile time syntax error are non issues these days for the most part.
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.
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
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.
…works on my machine
Sorry, wrong link for some reason, it’s supposed to be http://192.168.1.36/
That is only your local IP, dumbass.
http://127.0.0.1/ is where it is at.
Hate to be that guy, but localhost is 127.0.0.1, not 172.0.0.1 (which is actually a public IP address)
It looks like the whole 172.0.0.0/12 block belongs to AT&T
Ooh, where do you find AT&T block allocations?
You might also be able to see the information on IANA’s website or ARIN’s website
Thank you — is there a way to find a listing? I tried searching the other day (for unrelated reasons) but couldn’t find anything useful.
Damn it, I ruined my own joke
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 :
https://localhost/ and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!
… /s
Can I do that from Internet Explorer or do I have to use Safari?
That’s actually a great question, safer to ask your LLM directly! So helpful. /s
During in my data science master’s program, someone unironically sent me a localhost link to a Jupyter Notebook.
In one of my programming classes I watched a girl open edge, search bing for Google, then search Google for Yahoo, then search Yahoo for Yahoo Mail. It hurt my soul.
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 hung in a sysadmins channel on IRC. There was always a new bug/exploit. So many there was never a shortage of ways to lock up or break a windows installation. They would just post random links and hope someone clicked on it. I always used lynx to look at them. It was fun and no one considered at the time using them to steal or rip off people with them.
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.
zip bombs were not really thing back then. A fork bomb the was more common.
Idk, I did some dumb shit with a Zip file.
Oh sure but the first time I saw any mention of a zip bomb was after 2005 or so and the stuff I’m talking about happened around 1995 and 1996.
Oh, I was there at that time, sti in school.
My localhost website was a pong clone that I ran out of boredom. Of course, it was name index html.
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
👍
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.
Nowadays you can just use notepad and share the link to your Microsoft OneDrive folder…
Better yet, use the latest remote code execution exploit in notepad to install and host a local web server!
I had a similar problem in the late 90s except I was in my late 20s and a friend of mine got me into web developing. It took me a couple of weeks to realize I didn’t need to spend 30 minutes uploading my work via ftp over a 56K line to see the website. I could have just opened it up with a browser on my own computer. I wasted a lot of time.
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?
Fedora:
1. Missing Basic GUI Settings
- Startup applications
- No full shortcut customization
- Need to install extensions for basic features
- Media codecs missing by default (no clear indication or prompt)
- You need to enable RPM Fusion (no prompt, hidden toggle)
- Apps not installed via the software center must be removed via the terminal
- Editing app menu entries through a third-party app (unstable / breaks frequently)
2. Issues
- Wi-Fi not working initially
- Onboard GPU not working initially (and also no indication, noticed it in system monitor)
- Couldn’t get the printer driver to work
- GRUB menu became misconfigured
- System stopped booting at some point
GNOME
(GNOME used in Fedora Workstation)
1. UI Design
- No app dock by default
- App grid/selector sucks
- No minimize button by default
- Calculator results cannot be copied
- Search resets when exiting search view
- Thunderbird tray not working
2. Customization
- Cannot properly remap the Windows/Super key
- Very limited ability to customize touchpad gestures
3. Wayland / Mutter Compositor
- GNOME uses Mutter compositor, which has no support for
gtk4-layer-shell - Some apps, like Activity Watch, don’t work due to Wayland’s security philosophy
id prefer fedora with kde for just working. but i personally use arch for gameing :3
I’m sure one day Linux will run the top professional CAD programs. One day.
Fuck man, I was talking about this exact shit today.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And the website: “Hello world!”
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!
Hosting and making a website are very different tasks to me.
Sure, but very cheap and sometimes free tools help a complete beginner do both, without any real technical knowledge.
Don’t say the opposite. Just saying writing a web page yourself is much different to using some service.
