There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper…

TSMC has 100% capacity booked through 2027. Yet, in that timeframe (even beyond), we can't make enough chips to meet compute demand.
— Ben Bajarin (@BenBajarin) March 7, 2025
Enter Intel with capacity and a competitive process. If only TSMC existed there would be a huge gap of compute have and have nots.
We are at the onset of the Agent Economy.

It can get you 70% of the way there, but that last 30% is frustrating. It keeps taking one step forward and two steps backward with new bugs, issues, etc.
If I knew how the code worked I could probably fix it…
