Huh ?
Open source projects can be inherently insecure, outdated, or at risk of malicious takeover.
Because proprietary projects are immune to all that ? what is happening here ?
Wired pushing corporate agenda is happening.
Wired can suck a dick for that shitty comparison
It has its moments, but you are absolutely right - 25 years ago Wired would’ve torn modern Wired a new one for their clickbait speculative thinkpieces.
More than Open Source, I would say that Vibe Coding is the new Visual Basic 3.0
very apt comparison
since when is licensing code?
It’s the new open source in the same way that it’s the new left-handed bowling.
Wired clickbait, sigh
yikes
I guess finding safe language is hard. Python, Java, C#, C(++) with clang or GCC, php, rust…
PASCAL!
Isn’t Delphi open source? Imagine using nice language when you can use COBOL on IBM and pay a shit ton amount of money!
Its Freemium, at least it was like that. Using COBOL should be regulated by Geneva conventions at this point.
Trust me, I did a mainframe gig. It lasted a few months before I almost bored out XD
You sir are hardcore.
Madam please ^^
You should know that COBOL still evolve and the last version of it is 2018 I think (maybe one in the 2020s) and is object oriented since 2003. The problem is that ibm’s COBOL is note like 62 (at least where I worked)
I see. Thanks for clarification. I never worked with COBOL myself but have couple of folks on the team who worked with COBOL in banking back during 2000s who still have full-on vietnam flashbacks over it. I guess the COBOL they worked with was an older iteration than you described.
“Vibe coding” is just cargo cult programming with prettier syntax highlighting.
I still think AI’s useful — when it’s treated like a tool, not a replacement. Been experimenting with that in a small side project: VSCoder Copilot
TL;DR: AI doesn’t make you a dev — it just makes a good dev faster.
my only experience with it was for code cleanup - since those tools save me from bitching and moaning from the team - let it rip
