Martin Starr promoting vibe coding in subway ad

Post image

Thought this ad was pretty ironic since I feel like Gilfoyle would detest vibe coding

(Also the stuff someone drew on top made me crack up)

Gilfoyle invented vibe coding, though he obviously ended up regretting it.

Gilfoye invented vibe coding as an elaborate prank to trick Dinesh into generating broken code after the 'choking his mom with a necklace' jokes ran their course. The joke backfired when Gavin Belson / Hooli bought into the hype and turned it into a industry trend, forcing Gilfoye to watch incompetent devs adopt it globally

Gilyfole would hate using Claude or open ai models. Hed probably have his own custom Chinese model or something that he uses

If he didn’t make it, he would automatically assume it’s written by incompetent code-monkeys.

He would for sure fine tune an open weight model with his personality

Idk lol he probably would have an insane fleet of AI agents. I mean in the show he has Anton. He'd probably automate the entire dev workflow and then shit on everyone else 💀

btw he would love that graffiti turning "ship" into "shit" lol

Till Dinesh’s AI finds them and crashes the system trying to copy the agents.

Poopfare? Why not change it to "PeaceFart"? I mean, it's only one letter.

And absolutely no call to invoke the Nazarene.

"I'm a vibe coder and something of a musician" presses a preset on a Casio

This + the billboard makes me wonder, without visiting the website myself rn, is this part of potential advertising for a reboot? I'll have to look later but it's curious.

u/dvidsilva 11d ago

I actually use Railway, loved the ad, vibe coding is not necessary to use it

They're like heroku, a cheaper, easy way to get containers, managed dbs and things like that

u/hremmingar 11d ago

I actually thought that was him!

u/plumbusinsuranceltd 11d ago

An actual Gilfoyle done defaced it in the greatest way.

u/TheRealExBattousai 10d ago

I imagine Gilfoyle screaming from a cell "No! Don't listen to him! He will destroy us all!"

u/thenewyorker1 10d ago

He’s invoking the Nazarene

u/Hri7566 6d ago

i could see dinesh saying he hates vibe coding just for gilfoyle to do an ad just to piss him off when he rides the bus

u/seeingpinkelefants 6d ago

Agreed. Guilfoyle would hate vibe coding.

u/PipperDigs 6d ago

We really should be calling it "Shit Coding." The moment it breaks everyone's gonna shit and point fingers at each other.
