Doubt it. The worst mistake would be to not start at all.

The next gen of devs will be vibe coder, like the previous one was stackoverflow/google coder, and the previous one used books before the internet. Each generation looses understanding on the basics of programming, while increasing productivity

you're not giving enough

I tried learning a few years back, I kept getting stuck on errors just setting up my environment. Yeah… it was frustrating just to get started and I gave up. Fast forward to today I love vibe coding. I may not be learning from scratch but I’ve leaned a heck of a lot more already just trying to...

Bad take, grandpa 👴

Vibe coding for the regular pleb is like watching a YouTube video on how to fix your plumbing and then be able to do it for your need. Doesn’t make you a master plumber but gives you agency to get the job done for the simple tasks.

I’m a beginner, my learning began w being taught the very basics of memory, binary, ASCII, compilers, etc. With the background knowledge and some practice on FreeCodeCamp (probably c. 2013) I developed an interest but had no urgent use apart from customizing a silly little blog and so didn’t s...

true

Most of you say "I've learned so much vibe coding" and that's great. What you mean though is like learning physics by watching YouTube videos. What I mean is learning physics by going through hell, solving problems night over night and losing sleep and hope, thinking that you will fail, and then hav...

I've been wondering about this so much. I'm learning Python and wondering if there's a point 😅 The deeper I get into Python the more I realize how important it is to understand code from the bottom to top. So for now: vine coding is great fun for quickly getting ideas "on paper". As soon as tha...

Something that actual software engineers working with coding AI agents know really well... https://m.primal.net/QOJn.jpg

Unfortunately, we're wired to follow the path of least resistance, and that's what prevents most people from reaching their full potential—especially today.

hard agree. I also really dig your work, calle. looking forward to whatever you make next.

The knowledge gap between junior and senior devs is about to boom. Corporates will start hiring only 1 snr dev per team. But what happens in a few years when those snr devs retire?
