I like the spirit of these, but there are waaaay more. Like you only mentioned the ones for professional and skilled coders who have another option. What about all the sub-examples for people all the way from "technically unskilled" to "baby-step coders". There's a bunch of things they can now just do and get in front of ppl without us.

Going from "thing in my head that I need to pay someone $100/h to try" to "thing a user can literally use in 3 minutes that will make that hypothetical-but-nonexistent $100/h person cry"... like there is way more texture of roles in that territory than your punchy comment gives credit. No one cares is it's maintainable if they now know what's possible, and that matters 1000x more than future maintenance concerns. People spend years working up to this step that someone can now simply jank out* in 3 minutes.

* to jank out. verb. 1. to crank out via vibe-coding, in the sense of productive output.

The fact that people could make excel monstrosities has never really been a real threat to the job security of programmers. IMO it increased it. LLMs are the new excel

Agreed. Video game idea that’s been in my head for years, but not sure if it’s actually fun? Too lazy to sit down for a few days and make it. Went back and forth with an llm for 30 mins and I had more of a game than was even in my head.
