If you ask for something complicated this headline is more than true. But why complicate things, keep it simple and keep it fast. Also this article uses 'pfp' like it's a word, I can't figure out what it means. I'm able to vibe code simple apps in 30 minutes, polish it in four hours and now I've been enjoying it for 2 months.

I noticed this as well. I had to look it up. Apparently ‘pfp’ means ‘profile picture’.

  Yeah I’ve always found that a cringe initialism given that it’s not Pro File Picture. I would just say avatar.

    It’s a Gen-Z initialism, who are too young to be familiar with ‘avatar’, unless you’re talking about the movie.

AI is usually better than traditional search for working out acronyms and jargon. My prompt "What does PFP mean on this page: https://kanfa.macbudkowski.com/vibecoding-cryptosaurus https://kanfa.macbudkowski.com/vibecoding-cryptosaurus" gave a good answer and it described extra relevant context within crypto. I had less luck with "What does sharp tails mean in «HFT. You want low deterministic latency with sharp tails»". But I suspect the source sentence is the problem.
