I just had a similar experience last week trying out ‘vibe coding’ with WindSurf: “Write Python code that connects to Plaid API, download all my financial account balances and write them on my GSheet financial dashboard.” I actually coded all of this by hand 3 years ago, but since both Plaid and GSheet APIs and SDKs have evolved in the past 3 years, I figure I let AI accomplish this simple task.
as always, Gene, viciously on point and immensely humorous, to boot :)
