Is that really what he's saying here?
He's not against the technology, I think he's just feeling like there's a lot of potential that he's not quite grasping yet.

This guy is one of the top names in AI. This is pure propaganda written to instill "fear of missing out" and encouraging people to buy into his platform, lest they become "obsolete."
It’s a little shocking to me that this sentiment hasn’t floated higher in the discussion. Regardless of how he feels, this is the way he wants you to feel.
Big picture it’s about emotional intelligence and if you are losing your shit you’re going to flail around. I think you should pick up some near-frontier tools and use them to improve your usual process, always keeping your feet on the ground. “Vibe coding” was always about getting you and keeping you over your head. Resist it!
vive vibe live or it doesnt matter?
Maybe Devs should handle copilots as Swiss prana-bindu their shots
(Therefore gun laws at a longer timescale)
Of course we have to ask aeb if he has ever run into someone who trips (only, of course) while hunting ;) have you?

on the other hand, it does currently feel like when angular and react were starting to come out, and there was a billion different javascript libraries to learn with a new one coming out every couple weeks, and you arent quite sure what you should spend your time on and how much, vs now where you just learn react, and maybe extend to next.js
LLM forward development has a lot of things going on, and it really isn't clear yet what is going be the common standard in a few years time in terms of dev ux, async tools, ci/cd tools, in production and offline workflows, etc.
its an easy time to hop down a wrong path picking subpar tools or not experimenting further, but if you just wait, the people who try the right tools are going to be way ahead on making products for their customers.
Exactly. I think some of the commenters were unaware of some of the context, and got an entirely different read on the piece.
Uncharitable take. His last public stance on this a few months ago when he released nanochat was that he didn’t use coding LLM for it, even though he tried, because they were not good enough and he was just losing time, so coded everything manually. Andrej is already set for life, and has moved into education where most of what he does is released for free.

No it’s absolutely not. But I thought it’d be fun to offer Adams’ brilliant hyperbole for an affectionate ribbing of Karpathy. Both of them are great communicators of ideas.
