The anti vibe-coding cult is going to be on wrong side of history

Some facts (not an opinion): - At its best Claude is faster at coding than any human. - Opus 5.5. is technically more able and more bilingual in terms of programming languages than probably 99.9% of developers coding stuff all by themselves. Were I a tech company boss choosing between a vibe coding expert with a strong portfolio and someone who (as a purist coder) rejects vibe coding as 'slop' after all that has happened in 2026 I know who I'd hire. - I had a soft body car simulation physics engine in C++ optimised by Fable that performs countless millions of calculations per second - the idea that a model of Opus 5.5 standard can't write optimised code is disproven by all the hot paths. If it only wrote slop - it would show up in the extreme hot paths like that. - A "slop-machine" is the responsibility of the human. - Anti AI sentiment is being fuelled online by Russian and Chinese disinformation bots. China especially has skin in the game, and Stasi-led Russia has a keen decades-long interest in seeing a culture war escalate in our countries, they have a proven track record of jumping on the next fertile ground to stir up shit. - The bots target niche discourse and stuff like vibe coding game dev threads, to make their arguments feel pervasive and credible. They have abused countless threads I've been involved in on Reddit about game development. - Our politicians are borderline technically illiterate and do nothing about the bot problem. In 2026 the arguments around AI = fertile ground for disinformation and trolling. A few weeks or month old accounts with private posting history and always the similar word-word-long number pattern to usernames is just the tip of the iceberg. - Those who outright reject the idea of using the most powerful coding tool thats ever been made, for 100% of their coding tasks - are going to make themselves unemployable and before that, are putting themselves in the firing line in their current place of employment. They will literally be on the street if they keep that attitude up into 2027. - Inexperienced users who do one-shot stuff with Claude and are excited to share it deserve a free pass, not abuse. Sure the repetitive one-shot games and apps get boring quick... especially when spammed all over social media, but what we should remember is how we felt when we first started using Opus 4.5 - that awe of what it felt like seeing that end result from a short prompt for the first time. Fuck the haters and fuck the Russians.
