I’m a computer scientist and work in academia. Programming stuff usually takes like ~10% of my time, while the rest is theory and more like social sciences, i.e. studying human behaviour when working with machines etc. So even if I were to replace all my actual programming with vibe coding, I still would be a computer scientist because to me, coding is just a tool to achieve a bigger purpose. I think you are more referring to the job of a software dev, which can be someone that studied CS, but not necessarily.









neat idea, I like it. However, determining the value of a file by its size does not actually work as an analogy. There may be super important things that are stored as small text files while other huge files can be of less interest. But I do like to idea of playing with file “weight”-probably make the file heavier when doing permanent actions such as deleting?
