You’re missing out on people getting better at working with ai to improve better long term goals, like testing suites and guardrails, velocity is inconsistent in my experience.

And vibe coding apps in the gym, is like playing a game by typing a cheat code, honestly it’s not satisfying

Reminds of the days when windows and macs folks were debating each other, made it impossible to announce Mac software on a software forum with windows users.

The significant thing that will result from this is private issue lists and disabling open PRs. and then you’re worse off as an ai sceptic.
