Self-Professed Top Vibe Coder: I've Barely Been Committing Code
yacineMTB · x · 2026-10-28
Yacine Benketira (ex-OpenAI) jokes that he's "probably one of the world's best vibe coders" — yet he has barely been committing any code lately, because figuring out what is actually worth building takes him a long time. He then quips that this may just be "the death throes of things getting automated out" and that he'd better work on his YouTube career.
The thread captures a real shift in the vibe-coding era: once generating code is nearly free, the bottleneck moves from writing code to judgment and picking the right thing to build.
