Troy Hunt has been a pillar in the cybersecurity community with his Have I Been Pwned project for many, many years, even walked back a purchase of it because he felt they would compromise the principles of the project. But now he has just gone all-in on AI. On a previous Weeky Update he published a “Robophobia Equality Policy” after receiving pushback to his openclaw usage. Since then he has posted more of his usage of AI, and in the latest he suggest that “people are getting into the program” because he seems to be receiving less pushback and because of Linus’ affirmations
So, it’s very easy to understand different levels of abstractions and how the lower level abstractions fit into higher level ones.
Like the simplest adder circuit can be expressed in a series of nand gates, a nand gate can be implemented in various ways on the silicon. In the other direction, you have a group of circuits than can be driven by a clock to demarc discrete states, and the collective you have becomes memory, CPU, FPGA etc.
The “software” is similar, truth tables, machine state etc whatever it is on to the highest level software.
The act of vibe coding abdicates understanding the abstraction by the programmer, and if they take up that abdication they cease to be a programmer, or a professional in general.
Edit fixed grammer but this looks worse
