    Let the Darwin Awards begin... I got s vibe about vibe programming and it ain't a good one.

    Not surprising ... NaBr is no sub for NaCl ! It used
    to be used as a mild tranquilizer, hence the old terms
    "a bromide" or "take a bromide". High amounts, yea,
    surely toxic.

    I expect the created software to be very inefficient
    and not very secure - to start with. It won't always
    be funny stuff as it will find its way into military,
    major utilities, chem plants, hospitals, govt and
    banking.

    However it WILL get better. CHAT-6 will probably have
    written much of its own code ....

    THEN it gets interesting :-)

    The bosses BADLY want to get rid of the pesky, annoying,
    expensive, whiny, unionizing HUMANS - esp those damned
    code people who keep saying why you can't get there
    from here.

    I can't wait. I wasn't a negative nelly but I thought it was part of my
    job description to inform my boss that a proposal was a deep, dark rabbit
    hole we didn't want to go down. Sometimes he listened. The biggest problem
    was the company thinking it was a lion when it really was a house cat
    trying to catch a wildebeest. One of the competitors realized it was a
    house cat, focused on mice, and became a very well fed house cat.
