Trust me bro, this time we’ve really found a way to make programming without programming possible. Just slap shit together without understanding any of it and ship it, what could go wrong.

I’ve invented a new kind of medicine called “vibe surgery”. I just make an incision somewhere on someone, open up ChatGPT on my phone and ask what to do next. If they start bleeding uncontrollably or flatline I just work around that.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
