- Maybe vibe book authoring will become a thing.
- I would 100% read a book about vibe coding. I have so many silly little ideas but no idea how to code. I want a custom work out app so bad.
- Simon, rather than a book about vibe coding, here’s an alternative idea that I’ll give to generative AI makers for free. Make a god damn product rather than a mere tech demo so that the billions of investment can actually be utilized for something useful by ordinary humans.
- Rather than claiming generative AI is a do anything black box, make it fit for a specific purpose and build the guardrails that will keep users safe by indicating the intended purpose and supporting/reinforcing it.
- New term: "vibe vibe coding": generating books about vibe coding without caring about what "vibe coding" means.
