Forget Vibe Coding. No-Code Is the New Real Code In the spirit of vibe coding, I’m going to connect some dots that probably shouldn’t be connected. Yet.

Coding then evolved to higher-level languages where a developer could describe a high-level intent in a machine agnostic language, and have the compiler generate machine-specific code underneath.

Perl is a messy, maddening programming language, the “duct tape of the internet.” But at least you can tell it was made by humans.

Government agencies are awash in documents. Some of them, like Bureau Labor Statistics (BLS), turn to machine learning to help improve and streamline various processes.

The biggest problem with generative AI and coding is that it works best with patterns and as a fancier copy-and-paste. But great engineering isn’t pumping out tons of code.

Minified source code. Compressed files (source code or other media). Compiled machine code (binaries or possibly assembly language).
