Nothing I haven’t read 1,000 times before.

This doesn't make sense. I think you mean "If you are really good at something, you'll find AI might not be as good as the something you are really good at"

Ask it to take control of a browser using something like Playwright and use the UI itself like an end user would and evaluate whether it is a good experience.

Code isn't the moat and it hasn't been for quite some time. Data is the moat.

It's very problematic for companies, mainly because of the tooling. Large companies are equating lovable, replit, bold, V0 with Claude Code, Codex, etc all under the "Vibe Coding" banner.

I try to fit the former under the banner of "Prompt-to-app Tools" and the latter as "Autonomous AI Engineering"

Even if everyone on earth agrees with an opinion, it's still an opinion. There is a material difference between a fact and an opinion.

No. Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions. And statements of fact are unverified facts.

I wish people would start understanding the difference.

"Ice cream is cold" is an opinion.

"Ice cream melts at 50 degrees Fahrenheit" is a statement of fact.

Agreed. If your identity is your ability to bang away on a keyboard writing instructions to a computer in Python (or any other "language"), you're in for a bad time.

If your identity is solving difficult, domain-specific software-based problems, efficiently and securely, it doesn't matter if your instructions are written in English, French or... Python.

Is that a "yes" on lint rules? AI needs determinism to block commits because once the slop hits code review, it's already a gigantic waste of time. AI needs self-correcting loops.
