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 Did you see the Reply Guy lecturing Eugen Rochko (!) for having opinions about vibe coding, despite not having used chatbots himself? Basically everyone made the same point: you don't have to have "experienced" using the tech to assess the quality of its outputs.

Indeed, the elevation of subjectivity in this context looks very much like a form of "AI" psychosis. Of course Eugen is more than qualified to tell if the code is "spaghetti" (as he put it). 🤷🏻‍♂️
