Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Kinda wish I had social media right now so I could tell DevilsPanties to go fuck themselves.
CEOs are demanding that programmers use AI, and measuring how much they use it. If they don't use it enough, they're in the next round of layoffs. Vibe coders are people who don't know how to code, and probably aren't working for a corp.
Seriously, attacking the workers? Motherfuckers.
It does look, from the outside, suspiciously like a large number of devs don't care. For every dev that complains, you seem to get one who pretends to be a "voice of reason" or sth and, while they of course see why people might be suspicious AI, don't worry, they're one of the good ones, will rattle off a list of stuff they now routinely let an AI do and they're happy about. Just the small stuff, just the boring stuff, just this, just that, and the other thing. Don't fight it, Ai Is HeRe To StAy.
You won't get that from artists, only people who are jealous of ~~their cooler younger brothers~~ the work artists put into their craft and want the benefits without the work.
Bullshit. That's so fucking elitist. Go ask all the people using midjourney to generate slop if they're artists. They're artists as much as vibe coders are programmers.
Unless they have learnt to draw/paint, they're not artists. Just like people who haven't learnt how to code are not developers.
Artists are a very broad group that doesn't have a specific definition.
I mean, is someone doodling on their notebook an artist? They are creating handmade art, are they not?
Creating art is something intrinsically human. Capitalism has destroyed that. Now unless you have skill that you can monetize, you aren't an artist. When it used to be that anyone who created art, no matter how bad, was an artist.
Okay, and?
I can tell you who's definitely not an artist: the person who tells others to create their idea. They're a client.
Then you understand why "actual" developers feel insulted and protest against being part of that ridiculous, malevolent conspiracy theory in the comic.
This shit is trying to rile up an old, stupid "creative vs tech people" war. It's completely missing who the real enemy is, instead misrepresenting and putting an easy target on the basic nerds like it's fucking 1980.
It stinks. It's reactionary bullshit, and they should be ashamed of it. If you still can't see it, I don't know what to tell you.
I will still maintain that I have a certain impression from the outside (artists are doing shit about the situation, devs need to get off their asses) which I'd imagine is what others are seeing too.
You see, I'm a "no code" developer. /s
