Everything in the Marvel Universe is just wizards. Nobody is coding. Nobody is engineering. Nobody is doing anything more technical than “Hit him with a bigger rock”.

Tony is just a wizard doing wizard shit in stylized techno-pastiche.

To be fair, if our AI was as capable as his AI vibe coding would be viable.

when you code an actual AI like Jarvis, it’s ok to vibe code with it for the rest of your days

A vibe programmer that built a palm-sized fusion reactor in a cave over the course of 3 months with a single companion? Perfectly respectable to me. And he probably made his own AI too :)

I’ve always imagined peak programming as building up from low level languages, putting on some layers of abstraction and automatization written by yourself, and end up writing some trivial commands to produce very interesting outputs… Who knows? Maybe throwing around some holograms and voice-commands asking for nonsense. It doesn’t get much more vibey than that.

Programming in vim and emacs does look like that lol.

This meme made me feel better about myself. Been copy pasting from Stack overflow for more than a decade, vibe coding was a real step up for me.

Not quite there yet, still waiting on the holographic AI hardware design. Coming soon I hear.

Have I misunderstood the term vibe coder? I thought it meant people who weren’t good at coding. I thought Stark’s whole thing was that he’s a genius. Is he notoriously bad at software but good with hardware or something?

I’m still a fan of the theory that the only thing he was good at was creating was ai
