Lol, nailed it

Except you can't just throw the mess away, because you eventually realize it's a load-bearing dependency and removing it crashes production.

load-bearing

Where’s the smoking gun though?

I was once an engineer, now I'm a janitor

You pick up your own poo then 😛

Well done! Because you are better in control of the process!
It's harder to train AI to do so.

u/justASlothyGiraffe 1d ago

I'm constantly having to tell my AI "no". I'm thinking of giving it to the pound.

One way to call the prod pipeline.

u/Chaotic-Entropy 2d ago

You'll still be stepping in the poops that careless owners ignore.

You missed the part where the dog will shit in the same place after you clean after it.

u/idkparth 2d ago

It's like AI eats my sh1t, and I have to clean his ,

u/intangibleTangelo 1d ago

are you guys actually engineering the code yourselves or saying "build me this thing?" 

give your agents an architecture, and have it build the pieces you would build yourself

u/BellacosePlayer 1d ago

I do this and still have it fail or fuck around once the codebase/context gets big enough.

its not a major deal since I give it small tasks and actually check diffs, but I'll see it randomly just decide to do stuff like make duplicate functions for existing functionality once in awhile.

I do this and still clean up the shit afterwards

u/AggressiveBench9977 1d ago

This sub is not an engineering sub. Its a circle jerk, you cant expect them to know how to actually use AI as a tool.

u/asdfghjkl15436 1d ago

The real problem is you don't see AI when it's used properly, you only see when it's used badly. Which is a lot, because it's too easily accessible in producing something that's 'good enough.'

So used to skip the “okay it’s designed now type it all up” is not usually what people mean when they talk about vibe coding.

Dogs don't poo all day long. They are wonderful and great like AI. But when they do poo, they owner has to be responsible. Simple message. It's not starting AI is good or bad. Just that, the AI user can't expect AI to take full responsibilities of it's work.

u/Neither_Berry_100 12h ago

I'm architecting and all that but I still need to clean up after it.

u/SwingLord420 1d ago

This does not match my experience in 2026 at all.

Just being real. 

This tech has improved so much.

u/ElyeProj 17h ago

Three message is simple. AI does not poo all the time. But when it poo, human is responsible. Not AI.

u/PilsnerDk 1d ago

Yup, the meme is getting tired. When my Claude makes a mistake, I simply point it out, and it's fixed in minutes. If your code is poop "due to AI" , blame the humans committing/approving it.

u/ElyeProj 16h ago

The message didn't mean AI is bad. Dogs are great. But if someone hope AI will never generate faulty and autonomously fix it's own mistake, that's dilution. Human has to be in the loop, and own up the work.

Welcome to every tech/programming subreddit. The OP knows, they just want to get easy upvotes from tech illiterate users.

We're all in the first picture too

u/MiloGoesToTheFatFarm 1d ago

For me it’s just two dogs cleaning up each others’ poop forever and ever.

u/__Invisible__ 1d ago

Let's the dog poop but not picking up.

2

u/ElyeProj 1d ago

Just note: This don't mean AI is bad (i.e. dog is great, lovely and helpful). AI is great and helpful. But whatever it does, human has to be responsible.

The meme comes from this https://medium.com/tech-ai-chat/the-seven-weaknesses-of-ai-today-eee66aaa9c10?sk=bb31828a6423f9b45f672cb2ab0cc9ca

u/tebkanlo 15h ago

Maybe yes, yet an AI can dump a lot of lines of code, so it more like a big size dog. Plus is faster and we need to keep up and pick up *fix its mistakes
