It feels like the US population is standing at the Rubicon, but it’s unclear who will be the leader that gives the marching orders to cross - will it be Walz?

Listening to Cory Doctorow‘s latest episode right now.
I like his well explained distinction between writing code on the one hand and software engineering on the other hand, and how engineered software interacts with the world.
🚦 Vibe Coding funktioniert aber nicht überall. Prototypen? Ja. Produktivsysteme? Kritisch.
👉 Meine Einschätzung: Für Tests und Mock-ups extrem nützlich. Aber ich verstehe, warum es in Entwicklerkreisen einen schlechten Ruf hat Sicherheit und Wartbarkeit bleiben auf der Strecke.
