Great.

That's been fun.

Yeah, or I go on my chalkboard and I sketch stuff out.

That's like if I really want to get my hands dirty and feel it, yeah.

Do you build stuff coding in a traditional way or vibe coding?

Vibe coding.

I think now it's just- That's coding now.

Now that's coding, yeah.

I remember when I first started coding,

Yeah, it always blew my mind how the vast majority of software engineers didn't really know the internals of the systems.

Like they didn't learn assembly language or memory management or pointers.

And I think there's two ways to look at it, right?

Some people would say, well, that's a great thing because it democratized coding.

You didn't have to

A lot of people don't want to deal with all that stuff.

They get bored of it.

And so it opened up coding to a lot more people.

But I always thought you have to really understand all the stuff to really know what you're doing and to get the most out of it.

I think now you're seeing it again.

So I still think it's important to understand what the code does and how it works.
