> You just blindly tell it what to do

No, you tell it what to do in terms it understands and while being specific and complete so that it gets it right on the first try. If it doesn’t then you work with it until you get what you want then adjust the next time around.

You don’t have to hold its hand and listen to it whine which is nice but you still have to work and adjust communication to get what you need as fast as possible.

"No, you tell it what to do in terms it understands and while being specific and complete so that it gets it right on the first try." exactly this.

I remember the 4-hour work week through line. outsource your work to someone else in a more economical region. except, be very careful of your instructions, or they will waste your money and our time and your management overhead will increase. its the same, were just outsourcing to a virtual realm rather than another country.

Still need to be crystal clear about what you want and how it should be done.

There’s still a world difference between communicating with Claude and managing humans (well).

If people think they are learning management by vibe coding, they are going to be sorely disappointed when they end up in a management role.
