Andrej Karpathy, former Tesla AI Director, describes a new way to code called "vibe coding." Instead of writing code line by line, he just talks to tools like Cursor Composer using SuperWhisper. He asks for simple things like "make the sidebar padding smaller," accepts all changes without reading them, and pastes in error messages to fix bugs. The code gets too complex to fully understand, but that's okay—it usually works. He doesn't try to clean it up or fix everything. For quick weekend projects, it's fun and easy. He sums it up as: "see stuff, say stuff, run stuff—it mostly works."

It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper…

Gary Vaynerchuk, I believe we've moved beyond social media into the era of "interest media." Algorithms now prioritize content based on individual interests rather than social connections. This shift means that anyone, regardless of their following, can create a viral post. In this landscape, attention is the currency—views matter most.- Make Your Day
