Ha, I'm not into programming for the sake of it. I vibe-code all the time now and don't think I've written a line of code by hand in over a year. I'm really not trying to criticise this library itself and I agree that in many ways it's quite good.
What I think I'm trying to say is that this specific kind of thing now takes everyone the same amount of time to create. It's "cheapened" this specific type of code. I'm not trying to say this particular library is bad or anything, just that converting some small library from one language to another no longer really holds much value, since essentially everyone can do exactly the same thing exactly the same way now, for the same time cost.
- aa-jv 1y agoI think the point where we diverge is that this is a good thing: >everyone can do exactly the same thing exactly the same way now, for the same time cost. It doesn't have to be cool. It just has to work.
- redfloatplane 1y agoI'm not sure we diverge in this sense, I also think that's a good thing, if not the most amazing thing about modern programming! The democratisation of hyper-personal computing is incredible. Now anyone(-ish) can build exactly(-ish) what they need to create whatever they want to create. What I suppose I'm unsure about is the value of publishing utility code when the cost of bespoke creation is so low. But there are a couple of interesting perspectives in the responses so now I have to go away and think about it some more :)
