Vibe coding is not a the right phrasing for me.

I find myself quite productive these days. My shortcomings may be glossed over by AI, allowing me to be unblocked in situations where I am otherwise mired in complexity and emotion. For me this isn’t a vibe shift, it’s an acceleration into mind expanding realms.

While before I was constrained by my shortcomings and lack of joy at Googling for obscure bug fixes, now I find myself blasting through. For better or worse, my intent and vision become real in record time, and I can focus on sharing and articulating the goals of the software rather than proving that software can work if only I had more time.

For now, it makes more room for engineers to ask why they are doing something. This is very positive. However, I also notice I can exhaust myself after 4 hours of going at the speed of LLMs. LLMs now out-pace me. I review the code, I test the functionality. In some ways I am in the way. In other ways, I AM the way. This makes my neural pathway a highway for the LLMs to run through, and I can get tired. I don’t see this slowing down, wonder what level of abstraction I will be working at in a few years.

So excited to be using LLMs every day. I feel like a young wizard, learning to use spells wisely.
