Vibecoding for Wordcels
"Vibe coding for wordcels" (s/o to David Kiferbaum). Two thoughts here:

When I go on X, all I see are like “look, I built an entire CITY in one prompt,” and while yes that’s technically amazing, it’s completely different from full stack development & security & all the things you need to know if you want to build an app that can scale to thousands of users. Feels like we’re entering the “software as meme” era, but software architecture is really where the value is. There’s probably a lot of value in teaching writers how to ship software to their audience.
