.. new stuff that quite obviously won't be able to live up to its hype. Indeed.

Or would you argue that NFTs actually did live up to the BS that was ascribed to them in some circles during their hype?

Obviously not.

But "some circles" ascribe BS to any new technology.

And some circles hand wave away all criticism of any new thing as luddism.

This article is a bit more balanced, though, and clearly isn't criticising use of AI in programming, but specifically the "Jesus take the wheel" style of vibe coding. It's the same old "if you write code as cleverly as you possibly can, you are not smart enough to debug it", but to the next level, where people are writing code that they aren't even smart enough to read.
