alt Hacker Newsit can be easily dismissed because "anyone can use the tool that costs $20" makes no meaningful sense.
this was always true in fact $20 is more than the free it costs for notepad++
it's a flippant statement. Go down the line of any tool; it's cost has basically nothing to do with skill difference to operate it. See basically everything. There's levels.
I have no idea what you're trying to say. If anyone really can vibe code then programming salaries are pretty much guaranteed to come down. The critical question is whether it really is true that anyone can do it, or if it still requires rare skill.
