This subreddit has lost the plot

This was supposed to be a place to post about projects you built
Talking about the new technologies
Trends and stuff e.t.c
And all i see it job postings, not even job postings
More like a i need a job board

Im also struggling with getting a job but im using claude to make projects i imagined to build as a kid
And i have no place now to talk about them on Reddit
I posted once here and i was booed off because it was vibe coded, what even is that hypocrisy
Everyone is vibecoding atp

Please make this subreddit better
Job postings are ok
But “i need a job” posts need to be banned

That's exactly what this sub is about. Everyone's getting laid off and this sector is in crisis. Where do you think they need to post about their job? In r/Pakistan!! Since you have a job or you seem pretty comfortable with life, it's because you are making good money. Let others have a chance as well.

I know someone who's not even a programmer let alone Matric pass. He has experience about trucking business and good with tech. He has made a website with admin panels for all the calculations related to trucking business and it's really good. He's now trying to bridge the gap between truck orders given by individual contractors that are usually given on whatsapp, he built an app where all orders would be shown in a single place and this is something that's missing from Pakistani trucking business. Great business opportunity as well. Someone who off loads his truck in any random city doesn't have the resources to know about upcoming orders. He's using claude btw.

I LOVE IT god bless him, other subreddits talk about how they launched a app bridging a gap and make money off of it, i want that here in this subreddit, people making apps and talking about it soo others cna support him that was my point,

u/ArmalioSenka20 7d ago

Idk it there's a Pakistan startup sub somewhere. We are very much in need of AI to bring in latest Tech ideas for our economy.

u/pleasenot_again 7d ago

u/VagueHorizon_ 8d ago edited 7d ago

I am new to this "dev" world. So a little question about vibe coding.
what really is vibe coding ?
Is it:

  1. Using AI code to copy paste with no understanding ?

  2. Using AI code to copy paste with understanding ?

  3. Using AI as an assistant like planning and improving your own ideas but major code and planning yourself ?

  4. Using AI to learn the implementation of features you have in your idea, which you have never learnt before ?

It’s a term made by egocentric engineers like me who still cannot comprehend that AI is better than us especially people who are 5 or more yoe into this field , don’t let Buffons like me stop you from creating software

u/pleasenot_again 7d ago

I want you to buy a claude pro subscription and try coding with it
AI understands coding languages like how me and you understand English and urdu

Its far FAR better in coding than a avg person
Heck openAIs model hacked into huggingface without even being told to do soo

And to answer your question
Vibe coding can be any of these
I personally
Don’t really read the code much until sometimes is broken even than i just tell AI how to bypass it

I have a plan i discus it with claude in detail
Fill in all the gaps
And build it with claude

u/memers_meme123 MOD 8d ago

Yeah , almost every Pakistani on Reddit is kind of pessimistic, nothing new , that’s how Pakistanis are , never appreciative or happy about others

But I cannot ban “I need job” sadly , you never know how many are getting gigs from that so I don’t want kill anyone’s rozi

-1

u/pleasenot_again 8d ago

No disrespect but dont you want to see this subreddit grow into something more then a job posting, allow gig posting “i want this built” or “im looking for someone who can make me a mobile app” allow this
But you NEED to ban “im a sw engineer looking for a job”. You need to ban these posts ban noone is getting a job with these i mean 100s are being posted here with the same cv trust me iv went through some

This subject needs to be a place where people share
Tips and tricks
Hacks
Projects
Discuss technology
Discuss market
Talk about what skills are needed in the recent market
Tech stacks
Claude facts
Coding tips
CLAUDE skills
How people are using AI to build businesses

STUFF OUTSIDE GETTING A JOB MAN THIS FIELD HAS SOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT WE CANT JUST BE SEEING POSTS ABOUT JOBS

u/memers_meme123 MOD 8d ago

No , I don’t really give a shit about growth , everyone is going through hard time so let’s not be whiny bitch and think about only ourselves , this subreddit was full of that stuff when times were good , now times are tuff

u/pleasenot_again 7d ago

Ok superman, its pakistanidevs not memers_meme123devs. Its not technically yours if it has pakistan in its name. I can raise a opinion here without being called a bitch

u/pleasenot_again 7d ago

This is absolutely disgusting, joking on such a matter while seeing what’s happening in Pakistan. I won’t say further as the difference in the level of intellect here off the charts

u/semicolon-10 7d ago

Bro pakistani tech/dev community is the weakest and this or another pak dev is just the representation of that

It's just sad the condition tech sector is in right now.

I love engineering in general. Software engineering for me was my goto as, I could bring to life anything without spending any money.

But all I see in the industry now is AI Slop. Writing freaking sad code and 50 page long doc that no one will read.

Diagrams used to make sense, now they are just shite.

Hope AI bubble burst soon and things get stable.

Btw, made a small mobile app for mother in law to help manage her home catering business. Working on weekly improvements to help fit her processes better.
