What was the mistake? That cars were invented? You can’t control everything, you can’t put it back in the bottle. Do you think either of us have any control over the vibe coder type? They’re always going to be reaching for the easy button, whether that’s AI or something else.

The mistake was building our whole society around cars, letting driving become a de facto right, rather than the privilege and responsibility it should be.

What are you going to do when your government insists you use some vibe coded app to get access to healthcare? How do you feel about your family having to live in a world with vibe coded cars and drones flying around?

This is too big for us to just bury our heads in the sand. Our industry is already immature considering the impact it has on people's lives. Building regulations exist to ensure you can get a house built without it falling down. How are you going to get software built? You can't just do it all yourself.

I can’t control others, what am I supposed to do? I vote, I call my congress critter, I do other stuff where I can, but I am not Sisyphus.

I am open to suggestions, I’d like to find more effective means to fight back.
