I don't actually hear people call it vibe coding as much as I did back in late 2024/early 2025. Sure there are many more people building slop with AI now, but I meant the peak of "vibe coding" being parroted around everywhere. I feel like reality is starting to sink in a little by now as the proponents of vibe coding see that all the companies telling them that programming as a career is going to be over in just a handful of years, aren't actually cutting back on hiring. Either that or my social media has decided to hide the vibe coding discourse from me.

    all our perception of time seems messed up. claude code came out like 4 months ago and it feels like we had been using this thing for the past years. it feels like every week there is a new breakthrough in ai. it has never been more soul draining than now to be in tech just to keep up to be employable. is this what internet revolution felt like in the early 90s?

  We can't bust code like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to write goto statements that don't go anywhere. So I ran a bourn shell in my emacs, which was the style at the time. Now just to build the source code cost an hour, and in those days, timesheets had hours on them. Take my five hours for $20, we'd say. They didn't have blue checkmarks, so instead of tweeting, we'd just finger each other. The important thing was that I ran a bourn shell in my emacs, which was the style at the time... In those days, we used to call it jiggle coding.
