there are things you program
and things that program you
the path to enlightenment
is to realize you are both
the great programmer
programming himself
as the great program
you keep saying "i can not"
what you really mean is "i do not know"
you invent invisible gates to avoid the work
where the only "gate" is that of ignorance
and the only gatekeeper is you
This was me before I came across @MikeMichalowicz's formula in his book "Profit First", which applies to both business and personal lifestyle,
REVENUE - PROFIT = EXPENSE (as opposed to REVENUE - EXPENSE = PROFIT)
The only thing dumber than this dumb formula is me not realizing this earlier than I had.
I did a 7-day @jhanatech retreat, meditated 2-3h everyday, and I only needed ~5h of sleep after first 3 days. What I learned is that you can essentially replace at least 3-4 hours of sleep with a state where your body is sleeping but mind isn't.
tl;dr: my body probably needs 7-8h of rest every day, my mind definitely doesn't.
for serious / long-term projects, vibe-code suffers the exact same problems as no-code.
you inevitably hit the capability ceiling when the underlying model/tool crumbles under its own weight.
and you are left hanging at a state which is objectively worse than if you or another skilled engineer have built it.
