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?

Replying to @⁨baldur@toot.cafe⁩

@baldur What's honestly even worse is juniors using AI making such statements towards experienced devs and countering a:

"I have used it, but I get better results using it as a helper for mundane tasks"

with a simple

"Well, then you just don't know how to use it - my code is better letting it do the job!"

Congratulations; You just highlighted that you didn't learn anything and why people try to replace you with it.
