I'm not the best programmer. I can make what I want to happen happen though. And I'm very deliberate in designing what I want to make real. The programming part is just placing the blocks. Everything you see in something I do is a deliberate design choice. It's never fancy, it almost always does what I intended it to do. I also learn from everything I make.

I've been contracted before to unspaghetti AI generated code. I usually tell people that it would be cheaper to pay me to write it from scratch.

I've considered doing the vibe coding thing. I know it's not the magic bullet it's being hyped as. But it can potentially make my life significantly easier, at least in the short run. But I know what it will cost me in the long run.
