It's harder and harder to see the traditional path from school to work to some acceptable level of family wealth as being effective/worthwhile, and so we see different flavours of roulette-with-more-steps capturing more of the population's attention.

All of it comes across as intentionally obnoxious. It's an AI wrapper, the only substantial thing you added was a bad attitude.

Just read the code.

For this, which summarises vibe coding and hence the rest of the article, the models aren't good enough yet for novel applications.

With current models and assuming your engineers are of a reasonable level of experience, for now it seems to result in either greatly reduced velocity and higher costs, or worse outcomes.

One course correction in terms of planned process, because the model missed an obvious implication or statement, can save days of churning.

The math only really has a chance to work if you reduce your spend on in-house talent to compensate, and your product sits on a well-trodden path.

In terms of capability we're still at "could you easily outsource this particular project, low touch, to your typical software farm?"

I could leave my car unlocked and running in my drive with nobody in it and if someone gets injured I'll have some explaining to do. Likewise for unsecured firearms, even unfenced swimming pools in some parts of the world, and many other things.

But we tend to ignore it in the digital. Likewise for compromised devices. Your compromised toaster can just keep joining those DDOS campaigns, as long as it doesn't torrent anything it's never going to reflect on you.

You're exactly right.

No -- you're exactly right!

Anecdotally, I recently found myself in the local government building of a small European town. They run several free digitalisation classes for small businesses.

The options? Introductory classes to:

- LinkedIn

- WhatsApp business

- Facebook and Instagram ads

- Gsuite

Then you'll still not beat a good self-managed VPS but you'll have someone else to blame

It doesn't until suddenly it does. A glut of junk can eventually trigger a flight to quality.

Sadly, possibly not on a timeline which works for a given individual.

> [CUE] does not just hold the text; it validates that the pieces actually fit. It ensures that the code in your explanation is the exact same code in your final build. It is like having a Lego set where the bricks refuse to click if you are building something structurally unsound.

And that's despite having a passing interest in both cue and LP

Funny, because a bit like the yes side of the civil war scenario, if JC comes back and someone is the sort of person to bet that he will, then do they really need the payout in those circumstances; and will the gambling website be in a position to pay out?

If that's the case in the US as well, it could be that as a result there's more cocaine in the cocaine and fewer adulterants.
