Don't get me wrong, I have been been more hands off (though not completely, and very prescriptive) with an SPA side project and it's going great. Claude makes way better looking UIs than my dog ugly developer UIs. But vibing auth? That should seriously count as _legal_ gross negligence.
Don't gaslight us about timelines. The boosters have been telling us amateurs can code and we're all worthless for three and a half years now.
When ChatGPT was launched, they said we'd all be on the streets by now.
What I don't understand is the gleeful receipt of that news by some programmers
We had LLMs in 2024 that you could certainly try vibe coding with, but probably shouldn't have
Just like we have LLMs today that you can certainly try vibe coding with but probably shouldn't
I know there are very likely programmers that are gleeful about it, but I suspect that many of the gleeful voices we hear online are not programmers and are resentful of that fact
I see this a lot with the type of people who are making AI "artwork". They often lacked the discipline to practice and learn to make art themselves, they seem to bear an underlying resentment to people who do make art. They are the sort of people who think making art is tied to some innate talent and not something that you can practice. Now they are gleeful about AI generators because it lets them create the pictures in their head without the effort of learning a skill, and they are celebrating that they no longer suffer under the tyranny of people who actually enjoy drawing and painting
the spectacular overcommenting has been here the whole time
Progress since then has mostly been people and tools catching up to the models, the limit of what the models can code has been pretty stagnant the last couple years
