comrade made this edit in retort in our praxis chat:
This comic’s quality degrades at the speed of light.
The previous strip (invert the gender of the characters): https://thedevilspanties.com/archives/16696
One published not so long ago (most devs are not like that, and it’s bad to put them in the same basket as vibe coding 1 man enterprise CEOs): https://thedevilspanties.com/archives/16680
invert the gender of the characters
Yeah if you change the comics it changes its meaning. That’s quite a revelation!
I don’t think this particular one is off the mark, though… it seems pretty abundantly clear that Democrats are, indeed, refusing to “do a fucking thing to stop any of it”. Like, where’s the obstructionism that the fascists have been committing for the last twenty five years? Where’s the “Good Trouble”? I think this take is spot on.
I mean the joke is the subversion of gender roles, reversing it just makes it not funny.
The dev joke is fine, clearly that’s not a vibe coder but a developer who is lazy and wants job security. It’s just funny the contrast between the fields (especially since it’s much more harmful to the artists with the stealing of the art).
I love to hate on things but it’s just not that serious. If you don’t like it that’s fine but the quality doesn’t seem to be in freefall
Yeah, as I commented on the coding strip, I read it as a malicious compliance on the part of the coder, because they know that, once the models collapse, the companies will have to bribe them back at consultancy rates.
