The whole concept of generating code is basically ancient by now. I heard about this stuff in the 90s, but now I found it that this thing has been around since 1985.

It’s almost like he’s full of shit and he’s nothing but a snake oil salesman, eh.
They’ve been talking about replacing software developers with automated/AI systems for a quarter of a century. Probably longer then that, in fact.
We’re definitely closer to that than ever. But there’s still a huge step between some rando vibe coding a one page web app and developers augmenting their work with AI, and someone building a complex, business rule heavy, heavy load, scalable real world system. The chronic under-appreciation of engineering and design experience continues unabated.
Anthropic, Open AI, etc? They will continue to hype their own products with outrageous claims. Because that’s what gets them more VC money. Grifters gonna grift.
