Learning to code was a matter of financial survival for me. It allowed me to accelerate my socio-econmic mobility, and the added bonus is that I didn't have to refine my low rent communication skills to provide value and m9ve upwards.

AI coding, by default, favors communicators, an overcrowded talent pool dominated by the management class and their entitled progeny. It removes an avenue of socioeconomic mobility for which I reserve a great deal of gratitude and emotional affinity.

Vibe coders don’t know what they are doing and that matters when you work in a space where you need to know every single assembly instruction matters.

The tier of coders that need to understand processor-level instruction sets and register shuffling is maybe 0.1%. Practically extinct.

Won’t someone think of the poets vibe coding has empowered?!
