This is funny, and I do think it's fair to take little jabs at vibe coders, but just be careful. When I was learning to play a game in the past I asked a question. People thought the answer was obvious because the rules were on the thing I was asking about, but I was so new to the game I didn't even know what those words meant. If this was any other context, I'd be hesitant to give someone flak for not knowing a technical term like that. (The context being that somebody vibe coded something.)

On the contrary, the borrow checker is basically the first thing you learn about when writing in Rust as it's the primary "gimmick" of the language. Anyone writing a non-trivial program should have at least heard the term before, even if they don't fully understand how it works.
