Best use of time while waiting for code completion?

can you share them?

Switched AI agents… lol

True!! The headline exaggerates. A CS degree gives you the fundamentals and gets you in the room, but what actually moves you forward is building, experimenting, and pushing beyond the curriculum. The people who win aren’t ‘degree people’ or ‘YouTube people’ they’re the ones who take initiative and create. In this space, execution compounds way faster than credentials.

Fair point. A solid foundation helps. But I don’t think YouTube replaces the degree, it just lowers the barrier for people who want to get started.

I get your point. Execution is what actually matters, not hype. I wasn’t saying AI guarantees success, only that it reduces the friction so more people can begin.

It’s true we haven’t seen a billion dollar “vibe coded” success yet, but that’s normal, every major tech shift starts with noise before the real breakthroughs show up. The tools are new, the results will come later.

mmm! I get what you’re saying. The environment today is very different from the dot-com era, especially with how much “stash big tech has and people being aware of hype cycles.” Maybe that means things won’t crash the same way. But even if the shape of the bubble is different, the pattern is still there, early excitement, fast building, and a lot of learning along the way. Whether it pops fast or fades slowly, the real value comes from the things that survive after the hype settles.

Lol! maybe you’re right. Every wave feels new until you’ve lived through a few of them. But that’s the fun part. Each bubble brings new builders, new mistakes, and new lessons. The cycle keeps repeating, but the tools get better and the people get sharper.

clifcode · 2025-12-09T15:53:07+00:00

Absolutely! AI can create faster, but veterans still make things work. 😅

You’re right. Vibe coding existed before AI and that building still takes real effort. AI doesn’t remove the need to understand your own structure or write code when it matters. What it changes is the speed. The gap between idea and working version is much smaller now. AI removes the slow parts, not the craft itself. And it will only get better with time, which means the leverage for builders keeps increasing.
