I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.

If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.

If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.

This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.

My very first EVA foam prop was a large Skarmory knife in 2018. After making many knives (that would end up in my weapons merchant costume) in 2023, I decided to retackle it.

I expected the experience of making five experimental knives would result in a flawless project, but there was still much to learn and mistakes made.

I have since learned not to hype myself up too much, which has served me well.
