Palmer Luckey on Vibecoding for Hardware

Palmer Luckey: The biggest beneficiaries of vibecoding are going to be the shape rotators, not the wordcels. "The biggest beneficiaries of vibecoding are going to be the hardware nerds like me." "I was always a pretty terrible software engineer... I've taught myself enough to glue things together and make them work." "I was only able to accomplish what I accomplished because I focused on what I was good at, which was optomechanics, a little bit of electrical, and then the product integration of all of these different components." "I didn't have time to learn to program. If I had spent another year or two learning to program at even a reasonable level, I would've been two years behind on everything else." "And so I'm a big fan of vibecoding—even if everything that comes out of it is slop, it's better than I was able to make." @PalmerLuckey on @tpbn
