Losing my edge to the vibe coders

I’m losing my edge…to the kids with ring lights and one-shot prompts, the ones who ship from Discord DMs and sleep in Notion.

I remember when we wrote our own auth, when you had to beg Heroku for more dynos.

I remember debugging IE6 in Starbucks on airport Wi-Fi.

I remember when product specs were PDFs, when A/B tests took weeks and no one said “vibes.”

I’m losing my edge…to the locked-in Gen Zs with Arc tabs like trading desks, shipping AI agents at 3AM while I’m still writing the brief.
