So where is the product? Why haven't the vibecoders built a browser or a kernel or anything remotely ambitious? They have had years at this point. With their fabled productivity increase, making a better kernel than Linux in that time should be child's play. So where is it?

Why are you conflating people who use LLMs to work more efficiently with vibe-coding shills? Real engineers only write in assembly right? Lol. It’s giving anxiety.
AI is an assistant not a magician.
So where is the revolution then? How can it be both a revolution and not a magician at the same time?

At the same time when studies are coming out that experienced developers are losing 19% of productivity using AI tools, it makes me question whether it's not a devolution. Especially considering how widely unprofitable is for Claude to be run at scale where it's at least a net neutral for the average dev, where is that revolution you are talking about?

Is it the same revolution like NFts or blockhain or whatever web3 was, cause I am still waiting for those?
