  • Why would experienced devs join a vibe-coded project that barely works to overhaul it? Most of the time it’d be quicker and easier to start a new project from scratch with the same goals but coded competently.

    You’re bending over backwards just to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse for vibe-coding. But unfortunately, “plausible-sounding” isn’t the same as “plausible”.

    Vibe coding might be “good enough” for a tiny private project for someone who doesn’t know how to code and isn’t interested in learning. But LLM’s aren’t good enough to build usable architectures.

    And all publicly available human-created code was already trawled years ago, and the creation of more is slow. LLM’s can’t get significantly better at coding by just throwing more data into their training because there is no more data left that isn’t already in the training.




  • Another thing to note is that boomers have probably been exposed to more lead (via tetraethyl lead being added to gasoline) than any other generation. While Gen-X’ers were around for the peak, they didn’t get exposed to nearly as much buildup before the ban.

    So now we have a generation that have always been entitled shits, with tons of lead-caused brain damage, and they’re the ones that have been put in charge.

    We need more millenials in leadership positions as soon as possible. I sympathize with Gen-X for never really getting a turn at the wheel, but we need to get the influence of lead out of the government asap
