I think there’s a difference in vibe coding and what I call accelerated software construction.

Vibe coding is like a last second weekend trip to Paris.

Accelerated software construction is like planning a four week backpacking trip through Western Europe.

I’m a grey beard so I’m on the far side of “writing code is fun” but I get it. I used to love those ah-ha moments when solving coding problems.

But now I love delivering solutions to the business or creating software that works as I envisioned it and those two things are fun in very different ways.
