> Saying that Andrej Karpathy is "an AI researcher, but not a software engineer" isn't a very credible statement.
I think it is. He is certainly a great AI researcher / scientist, but not really a software engineer.
> It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works."
So is that the future of software engineering? "Accept all changes", "Copy paste stuff", "It mostly works" and little to no tests whatsoever as that is what "Vibe coding" is.
Would you yourself want vibe-coded software that is in highly critical systems such as in aeroplanes, hospitals, or in energy infrastructure?
I don't think so.
