Posts by PMs claiming they can now contribute complete features by vibe coding is the scariest shit ever. Not as an engineer but as an inhabitant of this world.
I understand Dunning-Kruger is not a thing but we NEED a term for this kind of ignorance-based overconfidence.
@hynek Third-Person Thinking.
I think I heard this on bsky, where it was attributed to some middle schoolers a teacher knew
@jimgar @hynek First person thinking is whenever "I think" something. When you want to have thought something, but you don't want to think it, you might ask an AI what it "thinks".
Of course, you're the one reading any meaning into the text, but you're pretending it's somebody else -- the grammatical "third person".
You could generalize this to the type of person who leans on "common knowledge" all the time, which, come to think of it, is something awful project managers do, too
