This wasn’t the author’s big point, but it did hit me when he said “this isn’t what we usually aspire to, but it works well for prototypes”. It captures how I feel about vibe coding - you can deal with incredibly complex tasks! But, boy, am I not about to use (say) an AI produced GPU driver on a daily basis! Perhaps we should normalize (again) “you’ll throw away your first attempt”.
