I love this - the former director of AI at Tesla doing and saying exactly what many of us have been doing for months now, even down to using voice instead of typing. And it's always specifically Whisper Large v3, Sonnet 3.5, and Cursor in Compose Agent Mode that people mention. The second-best tools just aren't fun like that combo. It feels like doing art: it's taming a beast, phrasing things one way and then another, testing, discarding the changes, and phrasing them a new way. It's having a spoken dialogue with your eyes literally closed, like the Rick Ruben meme. Think of the perfect poem using all your CS intuition, accept all changes and test, then guide the LLM with what it misunderstood. Glance at the code only if it helps see where a verbal misunderstanding took place. You need to spend your time leveling up your clear thinking and expressing skills here, not your coding skills. Think of how to build things as small, functional steps - chunking it into tasks that the dataset trained it to do. If you don't like this, then don't use it; it's not for everyone. This is not a replacement for people who can decipher machine code and type out syntax from memory — keep doing what makes you special! But I find it very exciting. Hardly anything feels gatekept by obscure knowledge anymore. I replaced the Google Assistant hardware button action on WearOS 5 with my own voice assistant that emails me notes I speak into my watch. Have I ever used Android Studio? No. Did it matter? No. It just did it, and it worked, because I asked the right questions in the right way. We live in magical times for those who want to dive in with an open mind to a new and strange paradigm. 'Vibe' is a good name for it - like how musicians get into a flow state, like an enmeshing of man and machine.
