Not sure how many of you younger folk remember John C. Dvorak, he was a legend in the PC world esp in the early days. Wrote for just about every computer magazine and hosted many podcasts. I recall every time I got a new issue of PC Magazine, 1st thing I did was read his article

At @AndyLeonard recommendation I’ve started listening to Vibe Coding by Gene Kim (Phoenix Project, etc). Got me to thinking. Right now, when I ask @Copilot for code, I specify the language. Wondering how much longer before it starts picking out the best language for the job?
