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 i credit the fact i haven't been normalizing it in my brain with direct exposure for why im still able to spot the glaring, obvious, intern-level errors it makes when asked to review colleagues' PRs (which is only sometimes, as i become more and more grumpy) that they oftentimes haven't even read themselves
yes, i can quite clearly see what it actually does
