The decade I spent coding the hard way (2001–2010) was worth my while. After that, I stripped every coding skill off my résumé, swearing I’d never code again. Too tedious. I’d only touch it occasionally for critical proof-of-concept work.
Vibe coding with AI today is a dream. But I’m grateful for those years of coding experience. I know what’s going on under the hood. I can challenge the AI, catch it when it goes wrong, and fix things like an engineer.
I’m an AI whisperer.
