This was a big part of the whole idea behind the genesis of COBOL - so that accountants and executives could read programs. It wasn't perfect, but it was *immensly* easier for a layperson to understand over machine or Assembler.
Thanks, Nate. As a non-coding founder who has historically been hyper dependent on software engineers for all things business, mostly has felt like being held captive, your perspective is liberating. Much appreciated.
Just getting started on my vibe coding journey and enjoying it but you summed up exactly what I am running into. As the code gets more complex I need to direct more or the LLMs start going off the rails. I need a high level crash course on app anatomy to be a better manager.
Correct, but as long as you can code already you can fix it. Hahaha. Exactly you gotta know how the code works to be a good vibe coder. Still have to understand the issue with the code, facts. Thanks! Big fan see you on Tik tok all the time.
Grew up on commodore basic in the late 70s, haven’t written any code of any sort from scratch in almost 25 years - can easily make sense of python and property insult the AI bot when it gets it wrong.

haha that’s a great reminder—very true!

I tried to message ya on TikTok, someone is impersonating you. You’ll have to report them because it won’t let me do it. User name is: thar.phuu
ugh reported
