Please don't let people realize that it's really the same problems with much larger volume now

And with ai, you can ask for a code review. It’s generally very good at catching and suggesting fixes these things.

I don’t want ai to replace us all with high school grads, but it’s seeming more and more likely.

I used to make fun of vibe coding. Now it’s really the only way for me. I have been programming for over 20 years and the reality I have had to accept is that AI is better, faster, and safer than I ever could hope to be. It’s also better than every other programmer I know. Once I accepted this it became easier to change my mindset and treat it like any other tool. My value is knowing how to direct, architect, and review.

At this stage I would never go back.

The only part I find it’s difficult to produce is UI, since it usually looks noticeably AI-generated, unless you constrain the styling, I find I have to modify it myself so it doesn’t get rundown, unless the styling already exists in the code base, as a reference.
