Can someone, anyone, tell me where it is that you work where input speed is the bottleneck in software development?

Because I have genuinely never worked at any company where the main thing holding up development was that developers weren’t typing fast enough.

Hang on. They had to ship three major updates in a single morning? How the hell is their workflow so bad that they have to- Oh yeah. Vibecoding.

If you see anyone wearing this shit, remember that you can laugh at how stupid they look as much as you want, and their weak copium that it's a "skill issue" will be swallowed by their copium mask. So you're free to laugh until they cry.

I genuinely can't distinguish between satire and reality anymore.

Input speed is basically never an issue for development work, as long as you have basic proficiency ...

Though this dipshit might be right that his coworkers who don't go all-in on LLM bullshit might get "automated" away, most managers literally don't care about the quality of their product, and most ethical issues are probably a bonus instead of a detriment to them.

I cringed so hard that I now require medical attention.

God I hate companies using gamer slang. "Skill issue"

also what asinine dev team manager is "optimizing for output"??? that's like the worst idea. it's like judging carpenters by "most nails used".

This is exactly the bullshit that is leading me to change careers

This picture must be fake… there’s no way a developer has only one external monitor.

You merely adopted being an incel. I was born in it!

They took away cubicles but everyone is on the phone all the time. So much noise they added a loud white noise machine. So like whats the point? I want the bane mask for calls so I feel like im cosplaying at work.

Programming seems like a uniquely awful use case for this.

Saying "function open bracket close bracket open brace carriage return tab print open bracket quote hello quote close bracket semicolon carriage return space space space space print open bracket quote world quote close bracket semicolon carriage return close brace carriage return" seems much more cumbersome than just pressing the buttons and typing it manually.

voice-dampening? as in, it moisturises your breath?

Keyboards are way more efficient than voice tho

what i find interesting is that this app superwhisper is just AI speech to text, mostly based on local open weights models like whisper (though also giving access to proprietary cloud-only models). they're charging a subscription for text to speech. and it's all for the sake of slopcoding faster. amazing. if you haven't seen someone use speech to text to slopcode, look up videos of people sincerely using AI to slopcode, it's incredible how the paths of software engineering diverged.

edit: and of course the main bottleneck when having an AI do shit isn't the talking, it's the AI actually doing the stuff that by far takes the longest.

edit again: i missed the free plan, oops. still, a speech to text subscription is ridiculous.

I hope this is fake because I dont think I will be able to survive this weird world.

I don't want to wear the gimp mask.

And we still can’t have offices?

You joke, but I read a LinkedIn post the other day where someone said that they had "fully switched to voice prompted AI work" and asked "are you still typing in 2026?"

Something something that guy that buys way too much golf shit and still loses the game.
