The point, and there IS a point buried in here somewhere under the Wild Turkey and the gunpowder residue and the faint smell of burning silicon, is that the entire vibe coding movement was a confidence trick played on people who didn't know enough about software to understand they were being conned, by people who ALSO didn't know enough about software to understand they were conning anyone.

A collective agreement to pretend that typing English sentences into a chat window was the same thing as engineering, the same way a child pretends that a cardboard box is a spaceship, except the child doesn't charge $20 a month for the cardboard box and the child's cardboard box didn't leak 1.5 million API keys into the open internet.
