What I can’t get over is that there have been exactly zero software breakthroughs since vibe coding started, other than vibe coding itself.
Claude is amazing, that’s true.
But if it was as amazing as this article implies, I’d expect some breakthrough outside of AI itself.
Rewriting a Zig program in unsafe Rust? Not a breakthrough. Finding a bunch of security vulns? Maybe that’s sort of a breakthrough though it’s underwhelming and possibly just a net negative. But like if I rolled back to using software from 2023 then life would be ok.
Maybe we just need to give it time, and sometime real soon, we will all be amazed by such a breakthrough? Who knows
