A computer scientist’s perspective on vibe coding:

@bsletten @garymarcus declaring that Visual Basic, Delphi (aka Object Pascal with a nice IDE) or Flash would break when you try anything complex, it's a wild ride that I don't agree.
VB and Delphi are full-fledged languages with nice IDEs. And we know how many things were made with Flash, including a lot of games. Other thing would be the quality of the Flash plugin...
Kevin Riggle@FantasmitaAsex @bsletten @garymarcus yeah this feels like a very blinkered take on some extraordinarily powerful tools just because they were “for normies” basically. The BASIC family up through Visual Basic was a big part of how I learned to code and I still miss the freedom and ease of UI building in it. (Web stuff comes close)
@FantasmitaAsex @bsletten @garymarcus vibe coding is like typing in code listings from an infinite magazine
