Well thought-out piece that doesn't buy the hype, but also doesn't attack it as having no value. Probably one of the more balanced ones I've seen on vibe coding, and well-written. Quote for a bit of context, but read the whole thing.
I think a lot of the more genuine 10x AI hype is coming from people who are simply in the honeymoon phase or haven't sat down to actually consider what 10x improvement means mathematically. I wouldn't be surprised to learn AI helps many engineers do certain tasks 20-50% faster, but the nature of software bottlenecks mean this doesn't translate to a 20% productivity increase and certainly not a 10x increase.
