A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

perspective on coding, vibe coding, coding:

these are three overlapping areas in the “interesting things that software can do” space

coding covers the entire space

no code and vibe code are still relatively small but expanding at accelerating rates

the entire space itself is rapidly expanding as new knowledge, technologies, and data come to light

there are critical areas that require such detailed specification that coding them explicitly will remain the most efficient / practical way

AIs augment all three: coders will benefit from better research and code generation for hard problems and rote tasks alike 

vibe coders will be able to create things faster and above their own skill level

and high productivity in coding will drive more and better no code tools

ai does not remove essential complexity:

"there are critical areas that require such detailed specification that coding them explicitly will remain the most efficient / practical way"

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

“Instead of regarding the obligation to use formal symbols as a burden, we should regard the convenience of using them as a privilege”

@kia this is why I use Toast instead of calling El Chilito
