Excellent article by Fred. I won’t give any spoilers but he challenges AI without being skeptical or pessimistic and sets some guidelines for making decisions when using them.

I think his questions are direct hit at the current fad that is “vibe coding”. The key takeaway for me was: knowing what you are doing in the context of the problem you are solving and being able to solve it with or without an AI tool.

Thanks for commenting/pushing it on to the forum Alvin!

It’s nice to see @ferd blogging again! I am adding this to my to-read list and have also added the erlang and elixir tags :003:
