yeah, remember those newfangled fancy Node.js guys who would just copy/paste from Stackoverflow without any understanding?

Or the Java guys who wrote bloated apps that wasted CPU cycles on garbage collection instead of writing in C++, like God intended?

Or the Fortran / Cobol guys who wrote in those God-damned, wasteful, useless high-level languages, instead of using assembly, like a proper programmer should?

So vibe coding = copy/paste from SO = interpreter with GC = compiler = punch cards. Got it.

Which ones made the money?

Here's a description of a "real programmer" from all the way back in 1983:
