~~am i wrong or is this a terrible meme format for what it's trying to say?~~
edit: it was the former
I like it to be honest
idk the soldier is supposed to be a negation/protection rather than providing/helping with something.
this seems more appropriate for the mercy meme or something.
I’d argue it is protecting programmers. Previously, people would waste programmers’ time with poorly concepted/uncreative app ideas. But now people are going “oh I can do that on my own”, and wasting their own time with AI vibe coding.
The old "I have this great idea for an app! If you build it for me, you can have 10% of the profits!".
And then you ask for the idea, and at first they don't want to give it away with your agreement, and in the end it turns out to be either whatsapp of amazon.
literally elon musk
Vibe-coding is absolutely protecting real programmers from the constant bombardment of wannabe entrepreneurs that just need a tech person to write their idea.
oh shit now it makes sense. i misunderstood what it was trying to say.
