I've vibe coded almost a dozen weekend projects this year and with every single one, I've done something I've never tried before. Whether it's developing for a wholly new platform, using a completely new JavaScript framework, or accessing hardware APIs I have zero experience with.

It's incredible how much you can learn by fully submitting to the vibe. Instead of spending days researching the tools I'd like to use, I'm just using them. In the process, I'm learning new things every single day. The learning experience is much more intense than it has ever been in my rather long coding career.

I've never learned as much about programming as I did in the last year. Insane. If this isn't the singularity, I don't know what is.

But what do you mean with vibe coding? I ask because I think most of the people have different concepts on that. My boss is asking me to switch my brain off and let the AI tools take the wheel, while I'm only relegated to a meere reviewer on things I'm not expert on. There's no room for learning in that view. For me, it is having AI tools as pair programming buddies, while I ask for specific things to the agents, I ask them for explanation on what they did and the trade offs of those decisions.

Sounds like a typical CEO. Don't let a non-coder (or anyone really) tell you how to use AI tools. Especially the non-coders have no idea what they're talking about.

Code must be understandable, efficient, secure, and, most importantly, maintainable. They don't understand any of this.

Thanks!

He's a typical CEO.

From this point on I'm gonna lie that AI wrote 100% of my code just to keep my job 😂

Hope this do not reinforced his idea that AI is flawless.
