The urge to be alienated from your own craft (he had a tehcnical background at some point) and then justify it because you “dont have time” to code anymore (gee whizz maybe pick a different job dipass) is infuriating.
He’s just typing in a request and the code changes before his eyes – he isnt doing any fucking coding!!! He’s using a chatbox to request an entity changes the code!!! we already do that dorkshit!!! and we hallucinate bullshit too!!!
Look I know that capitalists will always align to automation over workers, but this isn’t that. This is a man who is genuinely convinced he is an active participant in the programming process despite occupying a role no different to the one he does already, only with faster results in the specific demos he creates.
Capitalism has turned its central contradiction – alienation, into a fucking product that people want.
I saw a great retort today on AI programming gospel: ask the program to vibe debug. Not just take a streaming pile of broken code and turn it into something operational, accurately document what was wrong with the code and the steps taken to address each problem. Exceedingly narrow chance it will.
Especially true because it can’t use a debugger.

It is going to be a mess, it will do a lot of trial and error, go down the wrong paths, but it can do some debugging.
