The more I read this job posting, the more I think it is satire: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/domu-technology-inc/jobs/hwWsGdU-vibe-coder-ai-engineer

> At least 50% of the code you write right now should be done by AI; Vibe coding experience is non-negotiable.

> Ready to grind long hours, including weekends

All of this to "Automate debt collection calls for banks". Am I out of touch here?

It seems to be gone from the front page now. Must've been a joke entry. The job posting itself is still up though.

Thank you for posting this! I just clicked the link on the front page to see if I could get a handle on what a 'vibe coder' was, but what I seemingly got was an excellent piece of satire.

> Putting in 12 to 15-hour days, […] Ready to grind long hours, including weekends […]

Please tell me it's satire…

Neither satire nor you being out-of-touch.

Sure, it could be satire, given there's always an overlap between satirists and their subjects, but that's because humans sincerely say a lot of stuff.

But I think this is just chasing the zeitgeist — I've seen a lot of that over the years.
