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 The every-five-minutes argument coupled with the “embrace now or you’ll be left behind” sentiment obliterate each other in an explosion of pure bullshit for me every time I see them in the same airspace.
Like, if the tools are constantly changing, and there’s close to infinite incentive for the providers to make them as easy as possible to onboard onto (and develop a dependency upon), what possible motivation is there for one to _not_ put off adopting them? Explain with math, if you prefer.
