Software Engineering Is a Joke Now

Software engineering is a joke now — pure fraud. Vibe coding, serverless architectures, and platforms like Vercel that spin everything up for you have gutted the craft. We’ve lost the art of programming, trading it for bloated frameworks and copy-paste solutions. It’s absurdly expensive too — good luck running Docker without a $3,000 MacBook with 64GB of RAM. The whole space is begging to be burned down and rebuilt. why did my CEO just like this post, chat am i getting fired

A screenshot of two posts on X. The first post sarcastically attacks modern software engineering, vibe coding, serverless platforms, bloated frameworks, and expensive hardware; in the follow-up, the author panics that their CEO liked it and may fire them. It is used as a reaction to publicly criticizing one’s workplace or industry and then realizing a boss might have seen it. EN: A screenshot of two posts on X.
