Laziness is the root of invention. And innovation.
I disagree to a point, I maintain that annoyance is a way better motivator for innovation and invention
People want things easy. Call it lazy. Call it avoiding annoyance. Call it wanting things easy like I did. They're all synonymous.
Sounds like work.
Yeah. true. but then, it's because you don't want to deal with that annoyance the "old" way. whatever that was.
The best programmers are the lazy. However AI probably will kill this statement with vibe coding.
"The best programmers are lazy" does not imply that the lazy are the best programmers. I think it's still true with the existence of vibe coding.
I... wouldn't call AI an innovation... lol.
I'm sure somebody is using it somewhere for something useful, but 95% of it- including vibe coding- is.... laughable. (and honestly more work.)
I was more implying that lazy coders are going to use vibe coding rather than object oriented programming. So we will need sort of not lazy programmers but not the kind that is eager to support 3 different JSON injest scripts.
Coders will realize that vibe coding makes more work and abandon it. The real problem is going to be that bosses will buy into it and hand it to randos off the street instead.
That’s gonna be “fun” (well, for the coders around them.)
Right! Best ideas come from. "Christ im bored, lets build something, make clothes, cook and give the food to friends.
naw. hand weaving was labor intensive. ergo the loom. (and increasing amounts of automation ever since.)
Carrying shit? the travois allowed you to carry more with less effort (reducing the number of trips.) The wheel even more so. Then the handcart.
every invention and innovation comes down to people wanting to do less work. And I can't really blame them.
