Interesting and probably controversial observation for many by Andrew Ng,
" I’ve stopped writing code by hand. More controversially, I’ve long stopped reading generated code. I realize I’m in the minority here, but I feel like I can get built most of what I want without having to look directly at coding syntax, and I operate at a higher level of abstraction using coding agents to manipulate code for me."

#AI coding tools have shown that you can't iterate from bad software to good software.
Not that it is *physically* impossible, but that the context of the work prevents it. Instead of refining products with more feedback loops, management demands more new feature releases.
But no amount of "MVPs" add up to a mature product. No amount of bad code adds up to good code.

Vibe coding provides a tantalizing answer in that situation: maybe it’s too varied to •abstract•, but not too varied to •plagiarize• and call it good.
This is something subtly different from abstraction. It’s not “do this in the standard way.” Instead, it’s “just rip off whatever other people are doing right now.”
A lot of people really want that — and tbh, a lot of them are not wrong to want it. I personally love the craft of programming, but let’s face it, a lot of software out there just needs to look like everything else and be done with it.

A Week In Gas Town
I spent a week and $3,000 using Gas Town. The results are incredible. I built a fork of SQLite that has Dolt version control features called DoltLite.

Still, per the OP’s point, we should learn from what it is about vibe coding that really appeals to people.
The OP makes the case that we should find better abstractions and better idioms to fight boilerplate. Yes. And that we should look to things like Hypercard that reward inexperienced experimentation and exploration. Very very yes.
The latter part of my thread argues that we should •also• search for better solutions to the “Don’t make me decide! Just do something typical!” problem. I don’t know what that looks like, but we should take that problem more seriously.

Perhaps the main difference between myself and vibe coders is that we have completely different backgrounds.
I've learned coding as a kid, with no friends and no Internet. I didn't do it because it was cool; nerdy stuff was the exact opposite of cool and was likely to get you bullied. I didn't do it because it promised good salary; as a 10-year old, I didn't ponder much about my future, let alone salary. I did it because I was bored, and it was something interesting to do.
I didn't do specific exercises, but rather created whatever I've found interesting. I wasn't graded, I had all the time in the world, and I've enjoyed solving problems. Even if I had access to the Internet, I doubt I would start looking for ready solutions and copy-pasting them. My code was always mine, and I was proud of it; at least at the time.
Of course, nowadays I do stuff I don't enjoy as well. But I'm a grown man who takes responsibility for what I do. And even if my code is shit, it is my shit, and 100% eco.

Indeed, for a corporation all the above do not matter. Even worse, it represents costs. Unnecessary costs.
There are many other unnecessary costs but those creating them will tend to ignore them as they are in the decision making positions.

None of the "code generation" stuff is new by the way.

The problem with this is: there is no software scarcity. Pretending that "we can't make software fast enough" is a red herring to hide the fact that making (good) software is 90% painstaking research, design, planning, marketing and talking to and supporting customers.
And 10% writing the actual code—the C-suite is doing ye olde "trying to find a technical solution to a social problem".

There’s a long history of people thinking that they’ve made programming easier by changing the syntax, or by making it not look like programming. That history is mostly a parade of embarrassments (COBOL! 4GLs!). One big subset of the current AI hype is just that mistake again — “vibe coding is programming in English!” — but now compounded by the nondeterminism of the tool.
Hogg’s thread correctly navigates around that mistake, focusing on •abstractions• instead of •syntax• as the problem.

(The first feature they're forced to churn out is to add useless LLM-based crap to applications. You know the feature: the one that all power-users of the software desperately go to Reddit for in an exercise of futility trying to find out how to permanently turn it off.)

It should also be noted that beyond the ethical, political and environmental issues with this is that it doesn't work:
1. There is on average no mid to long term productivity gain with actual real-world software development that isn't just a "wow see what it can do" demo. (Multiple studies have shown that now.)
2. It won't help with 90% of the work when professionally making software, which, believe it or not, isn't coding. 90% of the work is designing and planning the software (these are things that happen both upfront and during development).
Maybe you have seen the recent Microsoft thing rolling back features in Windows they added?
E.g. Copilot in Notepad. What they did is essentially outsourcing project management to developers who then outsourced it to LLMs. But an LLMs can't plan and design software, and arguably barely can even generate code that works (as in reliable and performant). So now they have a buggy mess with features no one wants and they're rolling it back.
There's no silver bullets in software development.
