Feels like Bluesky is single-handedly making the Internet an open for new ideas again

This is AI at its peak lol

I honestly like his perspective around vibe coding. I feel like his original tweet has been taken misunderstood by the mainstream. (Proof-of-concepts churned out over the weekend will usually die or be mostly rewritten, anyways.) For programmers dipping their feet into new areas, I believe it can be useful.

Though, I do not see it being useful as a "gateway drug" (as he says) for kids learning to code. I have seen that children can understand langs and base programming concepts, given the right resources and encouragement. If kids in the 80s/early 90s learned BASIC and grew up to become software engineers; then what we have now (Scratch, Python, even Javascript + something like P5) are perfectly adequate to that task. Vibe coding really just teaches kids how to prompt LLMs properly.
