DHH is not a fan of "vibe coding" but uses AI to learn, do pair programming ("DHH says AI finally lets him enjoy pair programming. “I’m an introvert!” In the past, he’s only been able to do pair programming “for about five minutes before I want to jump off a bridge. … AI allows me to have all the best of that experience!”" - Source)

"Steve Klabnik wasn't a fan of AI. He knows how to code at high and low levels...but then he tried again. Now he's making more, shipping more, coding more, and having more fun. Is this a moral choice or a techincal one or both?"

"I used to be more skeptical than I am now. Especially when everyone was talking about 'one-shotting' and 'vibe coding.' But then I forced myself to download Cursor and build an entire project without typing any code, making the computer type the code for me. I had to throw myself in the deep end."

"I'm blown away by how much AI assisted coding is empowering people at all levels of experience to do things that they couldn't do before."

Darren Shepherd (ex Rancher)
- (2025-04-18) X -> "Our engineers, who are not stupid engineers, lean so hard into AI and vibe coding and it's amazing. I don't though. I kind of suck at it. I'm the old guy that still wants to care about data structures."

"Vibe coding UI is such a game changer for me. And no, I'm not just producing crap. It's the fact that my mind struggles with visual things. I can't create, but I can critique. Getting AI to do the first pass is so helpful for me."

"Claude code is a superpower for me. I don't want a world where this goes away. I want a world where this gets better."
