I find your take amusing considering that's literally the only part of the post he admits to just vibing it:

> In fact my entire system prompt is speculative so consider it equivalent to me saying a prayer, rather than anything resembling science or engineering

A good engineer can vibe good engineering plans!

Just like Eisenhower's famous "plans are useless, planning is indispensable" quote. The muscle you build is creating new plans, not memorizing them.

People also underestimate how much winging it is actually the ideal approach for a natural language interface, since that's the kind of thing it was trained on anyway.

The difference between vibing and "engineering" is keeping good records, logs and prompt provenance in a methodical way? Also have a (manual) way of reviewing the results. :) (paraphrased from mythbusters)

as the mythbusters have famously said, the only difference between science and fucking around is writing it down.

One person’s Vibe is another person’s dream? In my mind, the person is able to formulate a mental model complete enough to even go after vurln, unlike me, where I wouldn’t have even considered thinking about it.
