I’ll be honest, I don’t even call myself a software engineer. Programmer is the better way, engineering comes with the baggage of breing able to confirm that your work won’t fall appart in the next X years. You can’t really confirm that in software.

Labor is loved whether pool boy, math whiz, engineer or programmer. Do cool stuff. Maybe we can learn to love vibe coders some day.

Handstands are cool. I can’t hold a handstand for very long, but it still gets attention. Short handstands are vibe coding. Cool-ish, but not as cool as holding it longer.
