Painful to watch. The new tech generation deserves better than hyped presentations from tech evangelists.

This reminds me of the Three Amigos and Grady Booch evangelizing the future of software while ignoring the terrible output from Rational Software and the Unified Process.

At least we got acknowledgment that self-driving remains unsolved: https://youtu.be/LCEmiRjPEtQ?t=1622

And Waymo still requires extensive human intervention. Given Tesla's robotaxi timeline, this should crash their stock valuation...but likely won't.

You can't discuss "vibe coding" without addressing security implications of the produced artifacts, or the fact that you're building on potentially stolen code, books, and copyrighted training data.

And what exactly is Software 3.0? It was mentioned early then lost in discussions about making content "easier for agents."

In his defense he clearly articulated that meaningful change has not yet been achieved and could be a decade away. Even pointing to specific examples of LLMs failing to count letters and do basic arithmetic.

What I find absent is where do we go from LLMs? More hardware, more training. "This isn't the scientific breakthrough you're looking for".
