Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Fuckers betraying the basic principles of a science education....

I have been corrected - this is a coding unit in an engineering degree. Vibe bridge-building.

Considering the animosity between stem (a real strong field, based on science, rules, math, for men!!1!!one!!) and humanities (the opposite, etc) this is a bit amusing. And sad.

collapsed Tacoma Narrows Bridge

This is really setting students up for failure isn't it?

CS 100 and 200 level problems are well represented online enough that "vibe coding" will just write out the entire solution. But then the student may rely on it and either burn out in the harder courses or accidentally turn in something that oops was copy pasted directly from a previous year student off of github.
