Just an engineer.


Got Codex to try out vibe coding and see if I can generate a good codebase. Result: I’m scared to look at the codebase. Just looking at the interface, it looks great, but every new prompt or edit is a patch even though the rule is to not repeat code. Anyone happy with a vibe-coded project codebase?









For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews. This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system. LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it. If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.
