Vibe coding veterans now at a disadvantage: just tell the model what you want
TheMoonMidas · x · 2026-10-07
Udi Wertheimer argues counterintuitively that people who've been vibe coding for the last 12 months are at a disadvantage — their expectations of models like Opus 5.5 are too low and their workflows overly complex. Today you can literally just tell the model what you want and it'll do it. The retweet adds a demo prompt: "build me something you know I like, it should make money, you have freedom." Signal: elaborate agent workflows are depreciating as model capability rises.
