This is the point where i realized he has no clue what he is saying. Theres so many creatures that once existed that can never again exist on earth due to the changes that the planet has gone through over millions, billions of years. The oxygen rich atmosphere that supported the dinosaurs for instance. If we had some kind of system that can put together proper working DNA for all the creatures that ever actually existed on this planet, some half of them would be completely nonviable if introduced to the ecosystem today. He is failing to see that there is an incredible understanding of systems that we are producing with this work, but he is a very old man from a very different time and contrarianism is often the only way to look smart or reasoned when you have no clue whats actually going on, so I am not shocked by his take.

Funny. AI is a reflection of the self. This tells me the author is themselves the same skill level as a crappy consultant in their use of AI. The people getting the most out of AI are the ones who had the highest workload before automation arrived and now find themselves fantastically productive. People like this seem to have too much time on their hands. If you are "just now trying this vibe coding thing" in 2025 that tells me more about you than anything else.

I would rather have somebody with life experience than somebody with an education right now. It's just like how we complain that the AI leaderboards are not representative of real AI skill, it's the exact same for academic benchmarks of whatever institution minted you a diploma. I don't need an overfitted worker just like i don't need an overfitted AI agent.

Hot take: when a game is not able to be preserved, it is not worthy of preservation efforts. When it's not worthy of being saved for the future is it even worth playing today? My answer is no.

There's more than code to build a startup. I have found the best way for me to avoid burnout or alternatively feeling like i am behind is to set very high goals. Find a lifetime goal. Maybe it's making a startup, maybe it's something else. Everything you do should mostly fit into some super long term plan that could take an entire lifetime's worth of work. If you are doing creative or personal projects, these build skill and experience which will be needed by that long term project. Martial artists train by punching trees. To build micro fractures in the hand bones and increase the density and strength of these bones. Go punch your trees.

people seem to forget this type of argument from the article was used for stack overflow for years, calling it the destruction of programming. "How can you get into flow when you are just copying and pasting?". Those same people are now all sour grapes for AI assisted development. There will always be detractors saying that the documentation you are using is wrong, the tools that you are using are wrong, and the methodology you are using is wrong.

AI assisted development is no different from managing an engineering team. "How can you trust outsourced developers to do anything right? You won't understand the code when it breaks"... "How can you use an IDE, vim is the only correct tool" etc etc etc.

Nothing has changed besides the process. When people started jumping on object orientation they called procedures the devil itself, just as procedures were once called structured programming and came to banish away the considered harmful goto. Everything is considered harmful when theres something new around the corner that promises to either make development more productive or developers more interchangeable. These are institutional requirements and will never go away.

Embrace AIOP (AI oriented programming) to banish copy and paste google driven development which is now considered harmful.

Rust is an excellent vibe target because it won't compile unless it works. It may not do exactly what you think but that's what vibe testing is for.

I'm so sorry, forgive me but has there been a release? What exactly is the news here?

Why do people even think this? Bots almost always just use headful instrumented browsers now. if a human sitting at a keyboard can load the content, so can a bot.

bingo. many don't realize superintelligence exists today already, in the form of human super intelligence. artificial super intelligence is already here too, but just as hybrid human machine workloads. Fully automated super intelligence is no different from a corporation, a nation state, a religion. When does it count as ASI? when the chief executive is an AI? Or when they use AI to make decisions? Does it need to be at the board level? We are already here, all this changes is what labor humans will do and how they do it, not the amount.
