@stephengpope: I've been writing software since the '80s. What used to take weeks? We can build it in minutes now. But here's why most people still get stuck. They move too fast. They skip steps. They let AI build entire systems in one shot — and it works. Until it doesn't. That's the 80% problem. You get most of the way there, then hit a wall you can't get out of because of a decision you made at the start. I vibe code in layers. I test. I pick libraries I know can handle what's coming next. Because finishing the last 20% isn't a coding problem. It's a foundation problem. Don't build for speed. Build for longevity.
