this isn’t vibe coding. This is something completely new. I call it “flex coding.”

heck I built a full app in an afternoon AND I was a good dad?

> I'd wander into my office, check what Claude had built, test it real quick. If it worked, great! Commit and push. "Now build the server connection UI," I'd say, and wander back out.

Made breakfast. Claude coded.

Played with my son. Claude coded.

Watched some TV. Claude coded.

Every hour or so, I'd pop back in. Five minutes of testing. One minute of feedback.

So like, why would I pay someone to work like this? Or why would I pay for software at all when I could just do this myself?

Because you can't do this yourself. You don't have the decades of experience to know how to ask the questions and when to steer the tool into a different direction.

This is something I've been thinking about. What should students do? How do they build experience? Do they swear off all forms of LLM assisted coding?
