What a weird reception there’s been to bend. People discrediting the author without bothering to look him up, and then getting defensive when others point out the fact that the creator of bend has a very long very public track record of work in the field.

The irony of this post talking about vibe coding and not doing one’s research, on only not have done even the slightest inkling of research themselves (heck, even asking an LLM about the author would for sure have turned something up).

I hope people will give it a second look, and not just stop at this post which is a gross misrepresentation of Victor Taelin’s work.
