According to vibe coders, the future is never reading what the code actually does. You just trust coding agents with everything and "give into the vibes" even when it "says" its correct.

Offshoring understanding is the trend that many companies will pay in the form of comprehension debt.

That's not because "vibes" but because focusing on "code" is the wrong level of abstraction altogether. It always was. We just didn't have the technology to let it go, but now we do.

Code is a reflection. Of what? Look there. Code itself is useless.

I mean it's a fair take, your email is probably leaked anyways. Mine is breached 32 times on HaveIBeenPwned with various passwords. Who cares at this point really it's just an inconvenience

According to C-programmers, the future is never reading the assembly that the compiler actually generates. You just trust the compiler with everything and "give into the vibes" even when it "says" it's correct.

(sorry, i think you make a good point, ... but i could not resist.)
