There’s the engineering mindset and the “hacker mindset” that we used to call “blindly copying from StackOverflow mindset” or now, the “vibe coding mindset” AI doesn’t change it just easier to hack stuff together. That is not engineering tho ofc you don’t always need engineering

The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge
