Every time I see a vibe coder say something along the lines of "if you haven't used these tools over the past five minutes, you don't know what they're capable of, because everything's different now!" I get a little bit perplexed.
You do know that we can see the output without using it ourselves, right? Some of us are still reviewing pull requests and reading through code repositories, y’know?

@baldur "If you haven't tried it, how can you know" is one of those takes that make me reconsider the sanity of the humanity.
Deducing something is bad before trying is one of the main purposes of the brain.

@petrikas Yeah. Learning from other people’s experience has historically been key to survival.

@baldur @petrikas And there's so, so many people eager to depreciate it! Even in the form of my elderly relatives replying to insights from me doing just that with a "you're inexperienced, you don't understand it".
Like, I get it, we all need to prop up our egos somehow, but can we do it in a less self-sabotaging way, please?
