Ask HN: Would you hire a "vibe coder"?

Hacker News - Sun, 03/23/2025 - 1:59pm

1. For the team leaders / engineering managers out there, would you hire someone that was a self-proclaimed "vibe coder"?

2. What, if any, amount of education in programming-related topics (cs, history, languages, architecture, etc) should be required before entering the workforce?

2b. Do you think a potential rise in "vibe coding" is going to make it more difficult for less experienced workers to actually learn on the job?

What Google Chrome knows about you, with Carey Parker (Lock and Code S06E06)

Malware Bytes Security - Sun, 03/23/2025 - 1:31pm

This week on the Lock and Code podcast…

Google Chrome is, by far, the most popular web browser in the world.

According to several metrics, Chrome accounts for anywhere between 52% and 66% of the current global market share for web browser use. At that higher estimate, that means that, if the 5.5 billion internet users around the world were to open up a web browser right now, 3.6 billion of them would open up Google Chrome.

And because the browser is the most common portal to our daily universe of online activity—searching for answers to questions, looking up recipes, applying for jobs, posting on forums, accessing cloud applications, reading the news, comparing prices, recording Lock and Code, buying concert tickets, signing up for newsletters—then the company that controls that browser likely knows a lot about its users.

In the case of Google Chrome, that’s entirely true.

Google Chrome knows the websites you visit, the searches you make (through Google), the links you click, and the device model you use, along with the version of Chrome you run. That may sound benign, but when collected over long periods of time, and when coupled with the mountains of data that other Google products collect about you, this wealth of data can paint a deeply intimate portrait of your life.

Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with author, podcast host, and privacy advocate Carey Parker about what Google Chrome knows about you, why that data is sensitive, what “Incognito mode” really does, and what you can do in response.

We also explain exactly why Google would want this money, and that’s to help it run as an ad company.

“That’s what [Google is]. Full stop. Google is an ad company who just happens to make a web browser, and a search engine, and an email app, and a whole lot more than that.”

Tune in today to listen to the full conversation.

Ask HN: Vibe Coding for Technical-Ish Founders?

Hacker News - Sun, 03/23/2025 - 1:15pm

After a successful exit and several years in the wilderness I've started coding again.

I'm a 3 out of 10 as an engineer, but I have been vibe coding (ChatGPT + GitHub + Render) to build an MVP after having been the founder/CEO of a successful company. I'm finding it EXHILARATING to be able to build Node.JS applications with so much ease. I feel like a 6/10 as a programmer now rather than "just a sales and marketing-focused CEO" type.

I'm wondering if there are other founders here who are willing to share what their vibe coding stack is and what other content/courses/resources you know about that are allowing you to go from idea to MVP much faster using new AI copilot tools. I'm not planning to become a technical lead - I'm most valuable as a sales and marketing focused CEO...but I'm wondering what's in your tool kit?
