Author of the piece here :-). We are not building coding agents and focused on quite different stuff… I am just trying to share my personal experience as a software person!

Absolutely — but I also think there’s a strong resistance to managers saying “AI is good, really”.

The experience of long-term software engineers (e.g. antirez) who don’t have a horse in the AI race tends to line up much better with my own.

Also really like this one: https://diwank.space/field-notes-from-shipping-real-code-wit...

~~Counter~~ add to that - Armin Ronacher[0] (Flask, Sentry et al.), Charlie Marsh[1] (ruff, uv) and Jarred Sumner[2] (Bun) amongst others are tweeting extensively about their positive experiences with llm driven development.

My experience matches theirs - Claude Code is absolutely phenomenal, as is the Cursor tab completion model and the new memory feature.

This one seems really sloppy and confused; he describes three "modes of vibe coding" that involve looking at the code and therefore aren't vibe coding at all, as the definition he quoted immediately previously from Karpathy makes clear. Maybe he's writing his code by hand and letting Claude write his blog posts.

Not OP, and I don't have specific stake in any AI companies, but IMHO (as someone doing web-related things for a living (as a developer, team lead, "architect", product manager, consultant, and manager) since 1998, I think we pretty much all of us have skin in the game, whether or not we back a particular horse.

Long-term software engineers do have an anti-horse in the AI race - a lot of us eventually could be replaced by a coding agent.

Long term software engineers very much have a horse in the AI race. It threatens their jobs and importance.

Took me a while to find this [1]: "We’re building the next-gen operating system for AI agents."

Always super helpful to post more guidelines on how to use LLMs more effectively!
