- The author references 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs' to emphasize that programming languages are for human expression, not just machine execution.
- The author questions why vibe coding uses human-friendly languages instead of machine-optimized ones like C or x86 assembly.
- The author speculates on the potential for a 'vibe-oriented programming language' (VOPL) designed specifically for AI-assisted coding.
- The author reflects on the historical resistance to new computational paradigms, drawing parallels to current skepticism about AI in programming.
