Only for people to start screwing around with his database and API keys because the generated code just stuck the keys into the Javascript and he didn't even have enough of a technical background to know that was something to watch out for.
IIRC he resorted to complaining about bullying and just shut it all down.
I thought we are currently in it now ?
Sure there are many more people building slop with AI now, but I meant the peak of "vibe coding" being parroted around everywhere.
I feel like reality is starting to sink in a little by now as the proponents of vibe coding see that all the companies telling them that programming as a career is going to be over in just a handful of years, aren't actually cutting back on hiring. Either that or my social media has decided to hide the vibe coding discourse from me.
As an old man, this is hilarious.
One trick is to write goto statements that don't go anywhere.
So I ran a bourn shell in my emacs, which was the style at the time.
Now just to build the source code cost an hour, and in those days, timesheets had hours on them.
Take my five hours for $20, we'd say.
They didn't have blue checkmarks, so instead of tweeting, we'd just finger each other.
The important thing was that I ran a bourn shell in my emacs, which was the style at the time...
In those days, we used to call it jiggle coding.

First, use Claude's plan mode, which generates a step-by-step plan that you have to approve. One tip I've seen mentioned in videos by developers: plan mode is where you want to increase to "ultrathink" or use Opus.
Once the plan is developed, you can use Sonnet to execute the plan. If you do proper planning, you won't need to worry about Claude skipping things.
It's a bit annoying having to swap back and forth tbh.
I also find planning to be a bit vague, where as i feel like sonnet benefits from more explicit instructions. Perhaps i should push it to reduce the scope of the plan until it's detailed enough to be sane, will give it a try
Seems like he's still going on about being able to replicate billion dollar companies' work quickly with AI, but at least he seems a little more aware that technical understanding is still important.
