Paul Ford on AI and the Infinite Software Era. “All of the people I love hate this stuff, and all the people I hate love it. And yet, likely because of the same personality flaws that drew me to technology in the first place, I am annoyingly excited.”

Ford on his Times piece:

I'm deeply convinced that it's possible to accelerate software development with AI coding—not deprofessionalize it entirely, or simplify it so that everything is prompts, but make it into a more accessible craft.

"I recently wrote for the big paper and it was with deep inner reluctance" (emphasis mine):

The paper asked me to explain vibe coding, and I did so, because I think something big is coming there, and I'm deep in, and I worry that normal people are not able to see it and I want them to be prepared. But people can't just read something and hate you quietly; they can't see that you have provided them with a utility or a warning; they need their screech.
