There was a time my friend, who writes Rust, was earning $8k/month from Nigeria. I said say less… I started learning Rust. Two months later, they lost their job and couldn’t find another one for months. Another time I heard people were making crazy money with Solidity. I jumped on that too. At some point I had a reason to switch to every language 😭 But then I stuck with and went deep with the language I chose and it has kept me busy for years. The point is, you’ll get distracted, tempted, and see shiny things everywhere. You better focus. If you don’t, you’ll keep restarting your career every 6 months.

There are certain people in the tech space or generally who do not have a career plan. No strategy or direction. All they want is a gig and short term wins. Don’t be that person. Be intentional about where you’re going, or you’ll wake up years later still starting over.

Since we’re on this topic…. Andrej Karpathy coined the term "vibe coding" in February 2025, and it was never meant to describe what software engineers do. He created it to describe a workflow where non-programmers describe what they want in plain English, an AI generates the code, and they accept the output based on "vibes" rather than actually reviewing it. Even Karpathy himself positioned it as a tool for prototypes and throwaway builds. Not production software. Not applications real users depend on. For an actual software engineer, that concept doesn't really apply. When you know how systems work, how code behaves, and what can go wrong, you can't fully "vibe" even if you tried. Your engineering instinct kicks in automatically. You're reviewing, questioning, adjusting. That's just how you're wired at this point. So the more accurate distinction is: Vibe coders = non-engineers using AI to build things they don't understand, end to end. Engineers using AI = Engineers using tools to move faster while still owning the output completely. They are not the same thing and they shouldn't share the same label. Which is why anytime I see a software engineer proudly say they "vibe coded" something, I begin to suspect them. 🌚 Because for a software engineer what this means is you’re admitting you didn’t properly review what you shipped or you’re misusing the term entirely. Either way, suspicious. 🌚
