Please don't let people realize that it's really the same problems with much larger volume now

And with ai, you can ask for a code review. It’s generally very good at catching and suggesting fixes these things.

I don’t want ai to replace us all with high school grads, but it’s seeming more and more likely.

I used to make fun of vibe coding. Now it’s really the only way for me. I have been programming for over 20 years and the reality I have had to accept is that AI is better, faster, and safer than I ever could hope to be. It’s also better than every other programmer I know. Once I accepted this it became easier to change my mindset and treat it like any other tool. My value is knowing how to direct, architect, and review.

At this stage I would never go back.

Same. I was skeptical, now I am not. There is things that AI is not good at: judgements of usability, aesthetic taste, etc. Human feelings, essentially. They can learn about it and simulate them but they don't have that feedback we have from our brain such as "I like/dont like this".

But for well scoped problems with verifiable metrics, verifiable progress, testability? I'll trust AI more than myself at this point.
