Vibe Coders = Desperate
There is a
palatable
desperation
to figure out
what to build
Everybody feels like
this is their
moment
This is our
gold rush.
And it's like,
if I can
just come up
with the idea
of what people need,
then this is
my thing.
But I think that's
really hard to do.
And it feels like
we have tools
for basically
everything now.
