Hose are such weird responses, is that user an agent? Instead of “yes I vibecoded X because of Y” we get the classic respond like you’re trying to hit the word limit on your essay.

“It’s not entirely vibecoded but…” Mmmmhmm.

the language restriction of rust Rust has no restriction. The restriction is in his brain high on AI.

Who is this borrow checker, and why is he so judgemental?

This is the new normal, it seems. My developer colleagues are bragging about how long it has been since they wrote a line of code.

Can I get a link?

checker?! i hardly know her!

I know nothing about rust but I assume borrow checker is some integral part of it that this guy somehow has never heard of?

What is borrow checker?

@pewpew@feddit.it 2026-07-06 22:45
Uses rust because it’s memory safe but the code is vibe coded and the developer doesn’t know what a borrow checker is. Just use a high level language at this point

if rust is too hard, cant you just use another language for your program?

“Borrow checker?” “Thanks bro but don’t need your checker got my own”

Behold, the future of programming. I really need to keep my (actual) programming skills up to date, because they might be worth a ton of money in some years when everyone will need to unfuck their vibe coded bs.

‘Language restriction’. More like ability and/or willingness to learn restriction. And of course a vibe coder can’t write proper sentences with punctuation. If this is what their AI coding chatbot sees, I almost pity it.

I wouldn’t say it was borrowed Reminds me of a disclaimer in a public domain software package: “No warranty express or implied. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.”

You know, this shit makes me wanna learn Rust, it has been long since I really programmed anything. (Lack of any idea to program more than anything tbh)

We need a programmer_tragedy community for this stuff instead. 💀🤡

This is funny, and I do think it’s fair to take little jabs at vibe coders, but just be careful. When I was learning to play a game in the past I asked a question. People thought the answer was obvious because the rules were on the thing I was asking about, but I was so new to the game I didn’t even know what those words meant. If this was any other context, I’d be hesitant to give someone flak for not knowing a technical term like that. (The context being that somebody vibe coded something.)

I do not get it. Aside from the fact that the supposed “creator” writes a bit like he processes every sentence through AI-translation software… which might as well be reddit feature.

The amount of programmers who have no idea what the borrow checker is kinda baffles me. You don’t need to know how to write rust to know what the borrow checker is.
