alt Hacker NewsI guess the real question then is why were you programming since the 90s instead of getting yourself into a managerial position. After all, that's basically what you have to do with vibe coding; you tell the agents what they should do and specify requirements etc.

Hiring a team of humans to do my bidding would cost slightly more than the $100 claude subscription.
Also they have feelings and off time and stuff.

Yeah except agents don't get their feelings hurt when you tell them it's not right and to do it all over again. And the iteration loop is light years faster.
Managing humans is hard work. Team dynamics are complicated. Communication is uncertain. Relationships which have power imbalances can be fraught. People's lives get messy, and that leaks into their work. Performance is sometimes uneven, and you have to deal with it.
Robots are much easier.
