Probably not going to be popular on here but I think you've written something on point here, especially about vibe coding as an easy onramp for less experienced programmers/wannabe-programmers! Thank you.

I concur. This post of one being welcoming, accepting and encouraging is appreciated. What is the opposite of "gatekeeping"?

Thanks for an encouraging point of view on a topic that is full of fire and FUD on these discussion boards. I completely agree that those of us who started coding pre-AI should welcome and work with the change, not ostrasize anyone and anything involved.
