"Vibe coding shows us what happens when fluency outpaces thought. But the deeper risk is systemic: the technologies designed to enhance human–computer interaction may strip away that interaction. In education, especially in early and formative years, we cannot afford to collapse the space between prompt and response. If we want students to learn, we must protect the struggle. And if we want AI to support that learning, we must teach it to ask, not just answer."

Thinking about the slow death of view source and what could conceivably come after it https://www.sue.codes/blog/afterviewsource/
I'm building a vscode extension to help folk get to know codebases using language models, I started looking into it last year and am just now getting my head back into it..
At the time it stuck me as very weird how you interact with these things programmatically, as you essentially write a prompt in markdown strings and pass it just as you would in chat, then need to parse the response, like a very strange database query..

"Daily PR contexts per developer are up 67.4%. Work restarts, tasks that return to in-progress after moving to another stage, are up 13.8%. 26% more in-progress tasks show no activity for seven or more days. The developer productivity picture that AI tools present at the individual level is one of acceleration. The workflow data tells a more complicated story: more threads opened, more work abandoned mid-flight, and a development environment where beginning is easy and finishing is hard."

"The AI engineering impact data shows that output is up. It also shows that the work required to ensure that output is safe, correct, and maintainable has not decreased. It has increased substantially."
Aye if only anyone could have foreseen this etc

I like making computers do things I know they will fail at, and believe we could harness this joy in tech learning.. Like the wee sweary face in glitch that basically rewarded you for breaking your project
Absolutely wild to see this and the reactions to it, we must be entering the stage where everyone pretends they never thought it would speed things up in the first place

A great way to maximise productivity and efficiency would be to retain talent and keep employee attrition rates as low as possible, and yet companies prefer to churn through staff..
It's almost always about consolidating power and control even when that hurts the business. Same with aggressive rollouts of LLMs for code generation, part of the goal is for employees to understand as little as possible about the systems they work on..

Took a mere two months for this one to manifest lol
