- Vibe coding may limit innovation by relying on past code, making it difficult to create truly radical or new technologies.
- LLMs can help with routine coding tasks, boosting productivity, but may also lead to dependency and skill decay.
- The use of AI in coding raises concerns about security, code quality, and the ability to detect errors in generated code.
- Big AI companies may restrict the creation of disruptive technologies that could threaten their power.
- There is a need for open-source, ethically trained coding assistants that empower users without negative externalities.
- The future of coding should balance accessibility with the ability to innovate and maintain control over technology.
