If you put a spherical loaf of bread through a bread slicer, then each slice comes out with equal crust

we wanted flying cars but instead we got insanely good code that knows exactly when you lose focus on the browser containing some HR training

i get the sense the people most bullish on vibe coding are people who have spent their careers talking to SWEs over 15-30min calls and haven’t quite grasped how many hundreds of daily decisions are hidden from them out of respect for time

My favorite pet example of this is the follow button architecture (you better read this because it’s an example of what we hide from you to save you time): Okay, it’s just a fucking button, you click on it and it inserts a row in the follows table and it changes color, right?
