<p>I spent 1500 this month.

But 1500usd could have given me Claude code for the year.<p>Frankly they could be making sh*t up with the cost per call... "Nobody is going to know."</p>

<p>Everyone in America is going to be a farmer. There will be a scramble for establishing homestead properties.<p>Using 3-5 robots to managed whatever small acreage they amassed. From harvesting,canning and storing into a food pantry. Nearly every household has this automated and 100% owned. Robots get repaired by hand or by another robot. Robots or human operation manage Aeroponics/Aquaponics systems for growing more 'exotic' food items<p>The neighborhood becomes and micro economy where we barter with each other casually for swapping ingredient inventory.<p>Probably pretty enjoyable for the first generation or two that previously had corporate 9-5s. Maybe the kids growing up in that environment get bored and crave some other type of lifestyle. I would probably be pretty satisfied to spend my day cooking things I grew myself or shared with neighbors.<p>I mean think about implementing a proper permaculture food system on your property, like Mark Shepard, but automated...<p>A solar punk-ish future awaits.<p>people will definitely still fight over water resources. if not more than ever.<p>idk, just the scenario I fantasize about when owning a few bots. maybe I would take up some craftsmanship of some kind when I'm not debugging some robot that stalled out in the fields.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I think of prompts more like recipes than an algorithm. Similar in both regards, but to the layman, I think prompts are becoming as common practice in daily lives as recipes.<p>Recipes can be trade secrets but not IP.(Unless it's a super rare circumstance that proves uniqueness in a 'Food Science' way).<p>I surely hope no one can patent a prompt. That would be an annoying world to live in.</p>

<p>a short story to address explaining what vibe coding is for non developers:<p>Picture this- are tools like Devin "vibe coding"?<p>if we break down the mechanics of what interfaces it's looping through:<p>1)Chat
2)IDE
3)CLI
4)Dev console/Browser<p>and it's effective copy and pasting  what it sees while trying to complete an objective it doesn't fully comprehend. Blissfully ignoring the ramifications of desired combinations as long as decent version control practices are being applied. iterating / adjusting prompts subtlety along the way to debug when getting stuck in a thought loop. changing your prompt from "fix it" to something with more "pizazz" as the key to breaking this cycle.<p>how is it any different than when I do all this manually?<p>Slog through this game of 4 square long enough and you can pretty much vibe anything together.</p>
