That's a great article! Too bad that proposed "vibe engineering" goes so against what you argue for in there.

I'm still hoping "vibe" doesn't get to be known for the exact opposite of what it actually means

I thought "vibe" was a special case of AI-assisted coding where we don't look as much to the generated code and just "trust the vibes". Not really "uses AI". If the name is getting misinterpreted, propagating that misunderstanding sounds less than ideal IMO

I think he's saying he's been suggesting bun to serious professional people and is now cringing at the non-professional anime memes and doesn't want to be associated with them

I increasingly feel more like an AI anti-centrist: it either feels magical and game-changer, or it outputs complete shit. I never see an in-between those extremes

External display? Is that a Mac thing? My external display flickers all the time and I just assumed it's shit, didn't imagine the problem could be the Mac

Yes. I've been playing with coding agents, and they're impressive, but challenging requirements, code review, e2e manual testing, etc is still 100% on us

Portuguese here. From my experience, that's likely what happens. The startup scene is minimal, and the best salaries are in working remotely for foreign startups.

Bigger international companies usually have local offices with locally adjusted salaries. And government has no money.

What are the best places we can donate to at the moment? This may be one of the most important times to step up, after the start of the invasion.
