One thing I keep thinking about with AI driven Vibe Coding.

How incredibly inefficient it is.

One of the challenges I have is trying to figure out how not to run up server bills, because, Hoo-Boy, is that easy to do. That means carefully crafting code and resources in less intuitive ways to reduce overall load and optimize for costs. You know, maintain profitability by not sending my companies money to fund rocket joy-rides and DDR5 hordes.

Vibe code focuses on getting something to just work. Not work well. Not work efficiently, just work. You know. like a Sophomore College student trying to get their lab assignment completed.

Sure, if your company has more money that 90% of the countries on the planet, then sure, burn away, claim it as a tax loss or whatever. But for companies that actually have budgets, sending most of your EBITDA to AWS or GCP is probably not a great long term strategy.

Considers that the companies pushing hard for wide AI adoption are all big companies with their own AI server farms ๐Ÿค”
