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.

Makes sense @protozoan numbness . That is an existing problem, however, lack of dev due diligence; AI simply exacerbates it. I’m quite concerned about hacked open-source libraries and the propagation of malicious code through unattended external dependencies. Definitely a big security hole when mismanaged, and it’s incredibly easy to mismanage. Less concerned today about LLMs directly including malicious snippets, but… ya never know! Practice vigilance today, feel the joy tomorrow!
