It's not about human vs AI or who is better. It's about learning how to work better together.

@vitverb Interesting I'll check it out!

I hate the context switching of managing multiple agents. I like working on one thing at a time and going at my own pace.

Why spend the time to vibe code a $20 monthly subscription and take on those problems?

I keep seeing people build the same things over and over again.

As technology improves, build something different.

Experiment with new ideas, combine them with ideas from the past and see if you can build something more interesting.
