  • I’m specifically talking about toil when it comes to my job as a software developer. I already know I need an if statement and a for loop all wrapped in a try catch. Rather then spending a couple minutes coding that I have cursor do it for me instantly then fill out the actual code.

    Or, ive written something in python and it needs to be converted to JavaScript. I can ask Claude to convert it one to one for me and test it, which comes back with either no errors or a very simple error I need to fix. It takes a minute. Instead I could have taken 15min to rewrite it myself and maybe make more mistakes that take longer.











  • Vibe coding is the current trend of having an LLM build your codebase for you then shipping it without attempting to understand the codebase.

    Most developers are using LLMS to some extent to speed up their coding, as cursor and Claude are really good at removing toil. But vibe coders have the LLM build the entire thing and don’t even know how it works.
