> Did you talk with them? Otherwise this is just creating an imaginary argument against some people you just assume they didn't listen.

I have, unfortunately. Start-up founders, managers, investors who taunt the need for engineers because "AI can fix it".

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of "stochastic parrot" engineers even without AI, but still, not enough to make blanket statements.

That's a lot of people to talk to in a day more or less, since the talk happened. Were they all there and you too, or you all had a watch party or something?

Still, what's the outcome of our "glazed donut" argument, you got me curious what that would lead to. Did I die of diabetes?

I think the analogy is that vibe coding is bad for you but feels good. Like a donut.

But I'd say the real situation is more akin to "if you eat this donut quickly, you might get diabetes, but if you eat it slowly, it's fine", which is a bad analogy, but a bit more accurate.
