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 @baldur I've heard this dressed in the scientific method:
"You know, as scientists we need to verify stuff"
But I'm not seeing anyone volunteering to peer review the physiological effects of cyanide through personal verification.
It's all distraction, no amount of evidence is ever going to be enough. Even if you go there and use it, if you don't like, you're just doing it wrong, using the wrong model, not using enough etc etc etc etc
