@thomasfuchs Well 2026 is totally fine if you get paid by line of code but I spend most of my time starring at the ceiling or looking outside while thinking about a solution and how to prevent it from being over complex or bad to maintain in the future ...

Hmm I think I'm not part of the new generation of developers.

@thomasfuchs I'm not in IT, and only have a very basic understanding of coding (think Amstrad 464 circa 1990). But as i undrrstand it (and please correct me if i am wrong) code is the instruction manual, it tells a computer what to do and how to do it. Admittedly it could be quite substantial in that you have to "teach" another language first

But computers are made by man, and full of mans foibles. The more complex you make instructions the harder they are to follow and the more they contradict

@thomasfuchs yesterday out data guy shared on slack a github repo called "vibetensor", saying it could be a replacement for pytorch. The whole thing was openly vibecoded and was a single "initial commit", dated two days ago.

@thomasfuchs "More is more!"

@thomasfuchs I’ll never understand people

@thomasfuchs

Oh, I'm still in 2006, then.
