Het zou een goed moment zijn voor experts in coderen, en vooral experts in programmeerpedagogiek, om na te denken over hoe niet-programmeurs te trainen tot goede vibe coders. Wat moeten ze weten over coderingspraktijken om effectiever te zijn? Welke beperkingen moeten ze begrijpen?

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Building AI agents right now is a process of: 1. Build scaffolding to address a limitation of the AI model so your agent works 2. The AI model gets upgraded and solves the very problem you were trying to mitigate, rendering your scaffolding obsolete 3. Identify new, harder use case you want to solve and go back to step 1 There’s basically no way to avoid this process because if you don’t mitigate the model’s limitations then you’re dead on arrival, *and* you don’t know which of your mitigations will be surpassed and when. So the reality is that you just have to accept that you are going to be writing a lot of throwaway code for the next few years, and you have to be very unsentimental to the path you’ve pursued. Just do whatever it takes to make the agents work.
