We're still be writing code in 5 years for the same reasons people take photographs: we enjoy doing it

Thanks!! It's actually just Javascript https://github.com/stevedylandev/stevedsimkins-dev-astro/blob/main/src/components/DecryptingHeader.astro

The title loading effect on your website is super cool! Is it all css or using a library as well?

I think the "snobs" might be guilty of that (I know I have been), but I don't think it completely diminishes the term. I know plenty of people who own the term vibe coding and enjoy using it. I think it's primarily the perspective of the senior crowd that needs to change, and that has to come from them.

> Instead of discouraging them, why not show interest in what they’re building and offer our help? If they are truly falling in love with programming, we have the opportunity to encourage them towards competence.

This is great advice, but calling it “vibe coding” already diminishes the effort new coders are putting in. Instead of focusing on what they’ve built, snobs are dismissing their work outright instead of appreciating their curiosity and progress

Ty!! 🙏🏻

So true and wild to think about

Great comparison to photography!

Buying into the possible narrative of "software as content", it's even easier to one day imagine an Instagram-like platform for coding.
