People really are forgetting how to think. While reading this blog post I almost immediately flipped into teaching confused freshmen taking the course that wasn't their major mode.
A much more charitable reading of the article is "here's some observations I found interesting / different". I met the author at the conf and watched their talk. Their perspective was very much in the camp of exploration, learning, wonder, etc. and not in the camp of criticism of either rust or vibe coding practices.
Interesting that the talk was quite different, because this clearly AI generated article was condescending and infuriating. Quite a difference apparently.
