As an angry old man, I'm always eager to shit on whatever "the kids" are excited about, and this month that's been the phrase "vibe coding". But today I was feeling a vibe myself, and decided to delay recording of v35 of Breaking Change and just do my first-ever vibe coding session on camera instead.
The only rule: AI only. I didn't touch a line of code in the editor window. That's right, after over 2 years of using GitHub Copilot, I got to be copilot for once. 😎
Stuff you'll learn in this 90-minute video:
- How Japanese real estate listings work
- That a "mansion" in Japan is anything BUT a house
- How well GitHub Copilot's new agent mode performs with GPT 4.1
- How amazed I am by a computer doing what I tell it to do
- What it looks like for Copilot to get sleepy and decide to call it a day
- That the code GitHub wrote is now available on GitHub
- Update: that they already fixed the issue that caused Copilot to take a shit at the end
Oh, and if you're an AI skeptic, you might appreciate that this screencast has ZERO cuts. It's one continuous unedited vibe party, and you're invited.
Don't have 90 minutes? Check the chapters—most of the real action happens in 30 minutes in the middle. But I hope you'll pour a beverage and sit down and vibe with me for this one. ☮️
