Not possible, you're likely using the wrong words here. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition which does mention the modern misuse to mean intuition and reasoning combined. Anything that uses conscious reaso

> Sitting and standing for long periods have their pros and cons so which one should you choose? False dichotomy. Choose moderation if and when you can, like most things in life.

Essentially yes, thanks. I was focused on the difference between “I used my intuition (which you cannot be taught because I cannot explain it)” and “I can explain how you can develop a skill”.

> Intuition I mean no offense by this, but intuition literally means acquiring knowledge without an explanation. Did you mean experience or are you telling GP that you cannot explain how you do it?

None of my Asian friends live in China or India, so clearly there’s no one living there.

Disagree here. That's the stated goal and the point for some folks, but the subset I explained above also exists and their point is to benefit from a false sense of security.

There's a middle ground here that you're not considering (at least in the small amount of text). Vibe coders will spit out a lot of nonsense because they don't have the skills (or choose not) to tweak the output of their agen

Mobile notifications are a must have for any Slack replacement. Lots of teams have centralized their on call alerts to Slack.

Like most of these binary statements, the truth is indeed somewhere in the middle. Software engineers don't require focus on getting beyond acceptable with soft skills. Software engineers who want to move into staff/managements&#x

They're also heavily, heavily fixed of course. There's nothing stopping anonymous folks from betting on things they control/influence.

While I know your comment was in sarcastic jest, the question folks are asking this month is "can't we just pay one person to prompt ten models to do that?"

This is where I always end up as well. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should or shouldn’t.

This is hardly a uniquely American problem. People have been writing about treating the poor better for millennia.

The first part is exactly my point, but the latter is nonsense in my book. You cannot ask VSCode (pre-AI) to write a program for you. It's akin to doing math with AI vs. an Nspire CAS. There's no reason to think you need to respon

It's a bit ironic that the "soft" skills are becoming the hard skills nowadays. A lot of the AI buzz these days is around PM's, Data Scientists, etc. who now have the tools to code "well enough" and are attract

Interesting distinction. I've previously heard vibe coding described as "vibe prompting, but you actually do some work." That aside though, I just call what you're describing as coding with AI.

For folks who scan code bases based on the front of lines, it makes it easier to grok. Also helps with deleting and inserting lines (similar to leading or trailing commas in lists).

For software, but that's a well trodden path at this point. I've seen a few projects that are actually "vibe engineering" outside of software on the 3d modeling side so the terms are confusing.

> Vibe engineered While I'm all for vibe coding as appropriate, there's a lot of humor to be found it calling it engineering. :D

Unless social justice is really seeing a renaissance, it's indeed far more likely that "things are getting expensive and I don't want to pay $6+ for as many cups of coffee as I used to" is the main cause.

Yes, that would be my point (the courses will be outdated that once sold well).

For the fundamentals, sure, but many of the top sellers are going to be on things like React, Next, etc.

Junior engineers are the usual comparison folks make to LLMs, which is apt as juniors need lots of oversight.

Author is Peter Norvig, who has definitely done “something useful” when it comes to AI. He’s earned some time for play.

Not sure who you are talking about but I wouldn’t consider it anything beyond a work of fiction with some applicable quotes.
