I remember being taught Model-driven development using Eclipse as part of the software engineering study back in the early 2000’s. Even as a student it was painfully obvious that you’d spend an awful lot of time trying to work around annoying limitations in whatever tool was used, rather than just writing the code yourself. The parallel to vibe-coding seems rather obvious.

I can’t imagine what they thought they’d get from training on Reddit data…

That C book was still used when I studied software engineering in the 2010s. It was even considered a ‘modern’ C book because it had been updated to include ANSI C…
