Notch goes from “Reject AI” to considering vibe coding after hiring struggles

The post shows a two-tweet moment around notch: first, a screenshot saying “Reject AI.” Then a newer post where notch says he might give vibe coding a try.
His explanation is practical rather than ideological: he’s had trouble hiring talented programmers, and he may feel less bad about firing a chatbot than a person. He says he’s considering using it to build the boring tools he’d otherwise need to make the game, such as a map editor or node-graph visualizer, and asks what options he should look into.
