imagine doing web development for a living and calling yourself a 'coder.'

you're writing instructions for a web browser, not a computer, pal. you fear the computer and it's language the same way you fear a black man from the islands when you venture through a bad neighborhood.

there isn't even a proper analogy for vibe coding because it's so lame. imagine showing up to a jazz club and wanting to sit with a band but all you brought was your laptop with suno but everyone else is playing a real instrument.

are you a musician?

TBF most of it is JavaScript which is actually code, but they shouldn't be called coders for another reason.

What is web development if not coding? You write specially formatted text in a file with a particular extension and another program that knows how to read it makes the computer do things.
