the more i vibecode, the more i think:
- holy moly this is cool
- this is definitely not replacing a software engineer with at least 2 years of experience
[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you, [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you, [looking at myself] it's over.
The idea that your life will just fall into place or everything will work itself out is a huge psyop. You need to aggressively pursue your goals with every ounce of energy you have. You don’t get what you deserve in life, only what you negotiate.
It's so interesting to me how drastically different the personalities of Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 are.
GPT 5.5 is smart, hardworking, slightly autistic and doesn't want to talk much. Huge preference for diving into tasks and hammering tasks out over long, long periods.
Opus 4.7 is also obviously smart, but the only way to accurately describe Opus 4.7 is that he is charismatic but extremely lazy, talks a lot, but doesn't like to get work done. The only saving grace of Opus 4.7 is that he really does have an eye for design.

Opus 4.7 is the quintessential toxic employee you need to fire while GPT 5.5 is the one you're glad to have on the team, but wished you could understand him better / have a more pleasant time interacting with him.
