The vibe coding cold shower prediction is going to make a lot of people very angry and they will all be people who have never tried to fix someone else's payroll system at 11pm on a Friday before a friggin bank holiday. Some of us have been waiting for this reality check for two years.

Welcome back David :)

Thanks. It is so prevalent this belief in the vibe coding miracle that will transform us. It has infected the stock market. Knowledgeable (yet tech ignorant) people are true believers.

I have a friend who is vibe coding an Audacity plugin to automatically clean up his recorded interviews. So far I haven’t got back reports of success. He actually thought it would only be a few sentence prompt

The vibe coding miracle believers remind me of every person who bought a Peloton during COVID.

Incredible conviction. Questionable follow-through.

Welcome back. Bleak prognosis for humanity. Joke aside, I've long thought #13 would be a way for companies to distinguish themselves. Part of the joy of dining out is the often-fun interaction with the waitstaff (a mild version of your #7).
