I started reading this out of curiosity, thinking: that's such a far fetched thought, I'm curious about what the author wants to say. I think he makes a good point about execution vs. readability, and the actual need for the latter, drawing analogies to earlier abstractions. I'm still skeptical about low level language generation (tbh, letting an LLM handle memory at this point of maturity feels scary to me.. leaks etc)... But overall very interesting writeup and many points that I agree with.

I believe they are arguing against vibe-coding categorically by pointing out that high-level programming languages are for human expression. It's a reductio ad absurdum against the logical conclusion that follows from vibe coding as a premise. If vibe coding is like a using a compiler, why not just translate English directly to machine code or lower level languages?
