I’m vibecoding a new real estate website for myself and I agree with this completely. If you don’t need any data integration, such as an MLS api it would be significantly easier, but perhaps that’s the one getting in the way I’ve literally anybody doing it.
When I built menugen ~1 year ago, I observed that the hardest part by far was not the code itself, it was the plethora of services you have to assemble like IKEA furniture to make it real, the DevOps: services, payments, auth, database, security, domain names, etc...
I am really looking forward to a day where I could simply tell my agent: "build menugen" (referencing the post) and it would just work. The whole thing up to the deployed web page. The agent would have to browse a number of services, read the docs, get all the api keys, make everything work, debug it in dev, and deploy to prod. This is the actually hard part, not the code itself. Or rather, the better way to think about it is that the entire DevOps lifecycle has to become code, in addition to the necessary sensors/actuators of the CLIs/APIs with agent-native ergonomics. And there should be no need to visit web pages, click buttons, or anything like that for the human.
It's easy to state, it's now just barely technically possible and expected to work maybe, but it definitely requires from-scratch re-design, work and thought. Very exciting direction!

Canadians, listen up! On April 28, you are heading off to vote. Do not grant the @liberal_party a fourth term when they have so failed Canada. @PierrePoilievre is a much better option. Vote for him. If Pierre wins, I hope that he will enact the drastic auto-corrections that are desperately needed (much lower taxes, much lower immigration, deportation of people who are antithetical to Western values, etc.). I wish Mr. Poilievre all of the success.
I was one of the first and certainly one of the loudest to raise concerns about the tariffs. I also believe in giving credit when credit is due. The outcome of the @realDonaldTrump strategy was highly favorable. I focus on the outcome, not on how the sausage is made.
China is now isolated and our other trading partners are lining up to make deals. They have all, albeit briefly, viscerally experienced the impact on their markets and countries of the tariffs taking effect. And that is highly motivational for them and their citizenry.
After the pause announcement, China stated that they are now open to negotiations. And time is not China’s friend as every US corporation with a supply chain based in China is seeking to move it to countries that are likely to make favorable tariff deals with the US, and they are also seeking US suppliers, bringing jobs and profits home.
The unfortunate state of politics in the US is that the Never Trumpers want to see Trump fail regardless of the impact on our country. I want Trump and our country to succeed, which means that I am supportive of his initiatives unless I think the path is a wrong one, and then I am not shy about sharing an alternative point of view or strategy.
That Trump chose the economically sensible advice of @SecScottBessent rather than the ideologies in his administration I view extremely favorably. Trump has often been accused of not listening to input from others, but it is eminently clear that he has done so here, and that bodes well for the next four years.
If you are accusing me of being a sycophant for congratulating him on his success, it simply reflects your desire to attempt to discredit those who support our president. There is nothing sycophantic about giving praise to our president for outcomes that he has achieved that are good for America.
A genuine set of questions for @MarkJCarney and @PierrePoilievre: What is the limit of the extent to which the government can confiscate our hard-earned money? Our income is taxed provincially and federally at one of the highest rates in the world. We then pay sales tax on what we spend both provincially and federally. We also pay property tax, school tax, exit tax, and endless other forms of taxation. The taxation oversight and burden is simply astounding. And yet we know that countless people in the political class find ways to avoid paying taxes. Is a human being a free individual if 50%-70% of their earnings are taxed? What are the philosophical and moral principles that animate your right to steal our financial future, our peace of mind, and the fruits of our labor to such an extent? Every time that I work hard to be a productive member of society (in my case by being a professor and author), I end up at the same financial place (if not worse) because my taxation burden keeps increasing. I can't escape Canada's taxation system even when most of my income comes from outside of the country. Is there no sense of shame? When does it become too much in terms of what you take from your most productive citizens? I am being fully transparent here: There is nothing that has traumatized me more in my life than the taxation that I face, and I faced the Lebanese civil war.
Remember my words, and don't say that I did not warn you. @MarkJCarney is a slightly less woke version of Lady Boy @justintrudeau. Canada will continue to sink into an abyss of darkness shaped by the dark hearts of globalist and parasitized elites. Again, don't say that I did not repeatedly warn you, as I did for a very long time regarding Trudeau. A country cannot exist if its leaders despise its existence.
@JohnRustad4BC Please react slower, @Dave_Eby
There’s no need to rush. And please try to at least pretend like you represent the interests of the people of BC.
