@whitequark@mastodon.social @HalvarFlake@mastodon.social while doomscrolling the musk website earlier i saw a vibecoder bro's take that went something like:
> in the future there'll be no libraries, don't need them when claude will just generate a quicksort or whatever within your project
and i think this is quite revealing. llms will let you vibe a medium-sized (within context size) project, but none of that code will be reusable, or reuse other code. you won't extract and publish bits of it standalone because it's all slop.
