I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out if this was _actually_ THE Rick Ruben, and then another 5 wondering why the f he was writing about vibe coding.
For those who don't know, Rick Ruben is one of the most influential record producers of all time. His specialty is prompting people to help them make their art. So I suppose it follows that he's taken an interest in doodling with vibe coding.
I find that this lives right on the lines of inside joke and satire and insightful and serious. I can't stop chuckling to myself as I read them.
- patcon 1y agoI think this is perhaps missing context: "The Creative Act: A Way of Being" by Rick Ruben https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886 https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886 I believe they just wrote about vibe-coding in the style of the book he wrote

- Ancapistani 1y agoIt is. He was on the AI Daily Brief (podcast) yesterday talking about it. He's writing about it because the universe keeps trying to get him involved in it (from his perspective). People were literally using his photo as a reply to the tweet where Karpathy coined the term "vibe coding": https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1886193454730137763 https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1886193454730137763
