Correct. Those who wave away coding agents and refuse to engrain them into their workflows are going to be left behind in the dust.

Similar to those who waved away crypto and are now left behind in the dust, yes?
Might not be the best counter example since everyone who has bought BTC before Jan 2024 is now in massive profit.
Bitcoin is one of the few real survivors of the crypto crash and even it has failed in its mission. Read what Satoshi meant and what Bitcoin is now.
It's not a coin, it's gold bars.

You forgot NFTs
Remember when the geniuses at Andreessen Horowitz were dumping hundreds of millions into the "metaverse?"
I think Bitcoin and major cryptos outperformed a lot of assets over the last decade, so you could say it left some people behind in the dust, yes
Like being ratioed with a 50% price crash?

Doubt on that. AI usually only wastes time and produces bugs.
> bbut you're holding it wrong, just two more prompts and three more agents and it will be a real boy
So, you invented an IDE, except more opaque and expensive? Welcome to the club.
You both are likely incorrect, the answer lies in the middle rather than the extremes
I think a lot of the people pro-llm are already in the middle. It's the naysays that are sticking to a strict definition of "vibe coding" as if it's random people typing in "make me $app but make no bugs" and getting a 100% working $app with no bugs. You have the gastown folks trying to do that, but nobody serious putting in good work with llm agents is "vibe coding" in that way.

This is not just software development wisdom, it's life wisdom.
