The author effectively argues deep thinking is dead, that people are no longer going to take the time to understand the problem and solution space before they solve it.

I think that’s untrue, I think it’s /more/ important than before. I think you’re going to have significantly more leverage with these tools if you’re capable of thinking.

If you’re not, you’re just going to produce garbage extremely fast.

The use of these tools does not preclude you from being the potter at the clay wheel.

Just because you or I may invest effort into deep-thinking, it does not mean that others will.

I'm not worried about this at Modal, but I am worried about this in the greater OSS community. How can I reasonably trust that the tools I'm using are built in a sound manner, when the barrier to producing good-looking bad code is so low

We’re already there. Seeing OpenClaw and the new thing LocalGPT on the front page. It’s clear these projects are pretty heavily vibe coded and I have no trust that they are tested, secure or even work as advertised. It’s going to suck when all projects become that. When you can’t trust that a library works as advertised.

Honest answer: You never could.
