    Translation for people who are too normal:

    “When the coding lover says something so negative about coding with AI that you get stunned”

      The -cel suffix suggests that it’s an insult (derived from incel).

      Vibe coding is the name for creating computer code by telling an AI to generate the code for you, without necessarily even understanding anything about the code itself.

      A thousand yard stare is a description for someone who looks like they’re staring off into the distance, as if they’re having some kind of PTSD flashback, or just at a loss for words.

      This is a photograph of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, a major generative AI company.

      Tokens are the unit of measure of how much computing power a particular generative AI query uses.

      So basically, it’s a meme that ironically takes the position of the vibe coder, mocking someone who is actually unwilling to use the AI code generation tools (calling them a codecel and criticizing them for saying something anti-vibe-coding or vibephobic), by giving the blank stare of Sam Altman’s soulless eyes, and calling it a billion token stare, but basically doing it ironically to make fun of generative AI enthusiasts by lobbing a really stupid criticism and making the critic look bad.

        One thing tho: -cel isn’t a suffix. Incel is a portmanteau of involuntary celibate, i.e. someone who wants to have sex but doesn’t.
        Codecel should thus mean someone who wants to code but doesn’t, which honestly sounds like what a vibecoder would be.

          I think in this case the origin of “-cel” is a portmanteau, but its usage has shifted to a suffix. “Codecel” isn’t a portmanteau of “coder celibate”, it’s become a mockery of incels to use it as a suffix for “loser who’s obsessed with this thing”.

            Thanks for clarifying. That’s really strange tho. I don’t think of incel as a insult so it’s strange to me that you’d mock them. And for the meaning of the new “-cel” suffix to stray so far from its original context… weird.

              Oh, interesting. Looking at your comment history, I’ll give you the benefit of a doubt that you’re unaware of incel subculture.

              On its face, you’re right that the term is fine, involuntary celibate should mean something like “single”, or maybe “virgin”, which I wouldn’t use as an insult either. In practice however, those who self-identify as incels tend to be extreme, and have a lot of hate for women. It’s like an extremist version of the “girls always pick the bad boys, nice guys finish last” ideology. They’re also the origin of other harmful ideas, like “Alpha/Beta/Sigma male” culture, the kind that someone like Andrew Tate takes advantage of.

              So to go back to the suffix, which I described as “someone obsessed with something”, it’s referring to this obsession with sex and hating women in a derogatory way, which is much more deserving of mockery than just being celibate.

                Ahh, thanks for the explanation. I’ve heard the term incel here and there, but always just took it at face value. I had no idea that the whole alpha male thing originated from there.
                Obsession with sex and hatred for women does sound highly contradictory to me, but I’m not gonna question it. This does not look like a fun rabbithole to fall into. I will agree, however, that this is deserving of mockery and ridicule.

                  Haha, agreed, the two are contradictory, I don’t think it’s a very stable or effective worldview. You can see how stuff like Alpha Male comes out of that. “If women only like badasses who are mean to them, I’ll deliberately be a badass who’s mean to women”. I’ve heard it said that the best advice for an incel is to just… find a real hobby, work on yourself, find some real happiness and become an interesting person who’s not obsessed with women and sex, and maybe you’ll cross paths with someone who might genuinely like you down the line. And that advice definitely checks out, blaming women for everything wrong in your life isn’t a way to attract anyone, but they tend to misdiagnose the problem. Definitely not a fun rabbit hole.

                  Anyway, happy I could help out! Enjoy your new cursed internet knowledge.
