I'm old enough to remember "5th generation" programming and visual flowchart based programming from the 1980s, and they had a similar vibe (pun intended). Interesting demos but anything more complicated had to conform to the preconceived notions or straitjackets of the designers.

I use AI coding assistants extensively, every day, in my professional work, and they are an enormous productivity enhancer when used the right way. But I already know enough about how to do things that I can guide it and work with it like a pair programmer, not a vibe master hoping to create something out of whole cloth. They need checking and verification and hand holding but it's possible to fly at speeds impossible when working alone.

Maybe this will change one day and we'll just say "make me a sandwich" and an entire sandwich making machine will get coded up and work flawlessly. Not holding my breath.
