I've vibe coded almost a dozen weekend projects this year and with every single one, I've done something I've never tried before. Whether it's developing for a wholly new platform, using a completely new JavaScript framework, or accessing hardware APIs I have zero experience with. It's incredible how much you can learn by fully submitting to the vibe. Instead of spending days researching the tools I'd like to use, I'm just using them. In the process, I'm learning new things every single day. The learning experience is much more intense than it has ever been in my rather long coding career. I've never learned as much about programming as I did in the last year. Insane. If this isn't the singularity, I don't know what is.

is it? I've been trying to learn, feel like I suck at coding, and using agents or AI feels like cheating. do you let it write most of the code or what? is it really learning if you're just passively reading? not trying to shit on what you said I'm genuinely just curious about how to approach learning with it. I want to be a really good programmer, and I often see people saying then don't use AI because otherwise you're not learning anything.
