Ralph Wiggum at the Factory: I Guess We Doin' Loops Now
Description
A deliberately crude collage meme on a white MS Paint-style background. A childlike line drawing of a factory with a smokestack stands on the left; next to it is a faceless stick figure wearing a construction hard hat, with the text "i guess we doin LOOPS now" (LOOPS in large distorted letters). Pasted on top are mismatched clipart elements: a dark circular-arrows refresh/loop icon, a cropped dark-mode code snippet with the syntax-highlighted word "workflow" ("a workflow t... call to the..."), Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons standing with a finger near his mouth, and a blue cartoon scroll labeled "PLAN" with checklist bullets. The meme riffs on the agentic-AI engineering trend: every coding assistant pattern now reduced to plan-then-execute loops - workflows, plan modes, and agents running the same retry cycle - with Ralph's cheerful cluelessness standing in for developers along for the ride

We renamed while(true) to 'agentic workflow', added a PLAN artifact, and raised at a billion-dollar valuation
We replaced `while (true)` with an LLM, and somehow the missing termination condition got more expensive.
Bro does every post have to be about AI Can we do actual dev memes I'm sure there are AI meme channels for people who want that Comment deleted
You mean, you're not interested in AI devs with memes? Comment deleted
Next you'll be complaining about AI generated art, photos, videos, etc, smh Comment deleted

came here for the memes, stayed for the community Comment deleted
There’s almost none of them anymore :( Comment deleted
My problem is that I fully agree Comment deleted
Just look at the quality here Comment deleted
Back in my time we did not have these fishy loops like while or for We used GOTO for everything. Simple vlean FORTRAN code. Comment deleted
They are almost extinct somehow Comment deleted
kid named recommendation algorithm: Comment deleted
2 out of 3 memes for tomorrow is AI related too :/ Comment deleted
I dunno Comment deleted
Probably the best solution would be for me to use fable to finally finish updated devme.me Comment deleted
So you can actually look at memes across years in randomized order this feature already done and works on both mobile and desktop Comment deleted
Just… refuse to start reposting good old memes? That were pretty fun Comment deleted
just post a couple gems, rather than tons of coal Comment deleted
I mean… I need to sit myself down and just finish updated website… It will provide quite some additional fun that can be rerouted back to the channel like most watched/likes meme of day/week and stuff like this Comment deleted
Tho communities on the website and meme submitting are not finalized yet Comment deleted
But like… meme ones in a few days doesn’t spark joy Comment deleted
i am subscribed to channels that post not more than ~5 posts/yr, and those are peak i'm not saying to do that, but I am saying that posting coal will just annoy subscribers Comment deleted
Coz for some stupid reason want to not repeat memes Comment deleted
Except for one, you know, about losing memory 🌚🌚🌚 Comment deleted
Prob I just making stupid mistakes with not delivering in smaller iterations Comment deleted
And attempting to finish too much in one go Comment deleted
loop is just «autoresearch». goal first appeared in codex. nothing new. Comment deleted
Yeah, I fully switched to codex after release of goal Comment deleted
Fable been too good so far Gonna burn all those tokens till they take it away from me after 22nd Comment deleted
i do not use anything anthropic. 1) lies and FUD instead of PR campaigns; 2) constant push towards AI regulation (in their favor of course); 3) not a single opensource model ever, zero contribution to community except cc leak; 4) gpt is just better in real use, they did not ban claw, it’s cheaper and codex api limits are quite generous. And yeah, fable is just opus. Mythos does not exist. Comment deleted
Agree on all, except 4, double agree on p.3 Single point 3 should be enough to hate them Comment deleted
