Thankfully, despite the Tech bros latest hype handle, 'Vibe coding'
isn't yet a widely recognized or standardized term in software development. It is a hip but informal or colloquial expression but a dangerous one that is a danger to our western coding resource. Lose the skills in any industry or country and you

engineering mirage that has worn thinner than the emperors new clothes.
This is a callous form of FOMO (fear of missing out) to a middle class aware that is desperate to maintain their status as the western economies go south.

Recently, while preparing for a talk about trust in AI, I had an epiphany. As I explored various use cases—some successful, others not so much—I realized we've been thinking about AI all wrong. The "artificial" in Artificial Intelligence has always felt

The Evolution of Intelligence Testing
Remember the Turing test? For decades, it was our gold standard for machine intelligence.
