> Hey Gemini, would Jesus agree with this take?
Based on the New Testament, here is how that take might be measured:
1. Utility vs. Pretense
A core theme in Jesus' teachings was the rejection of unnecessary complexity and religious "gatekeeping." He often criticized the Pharisees for focusing on the minute details of the law (the "C from scratch" equivalent of the time) while missing the weightier matters of justice and mercy.
The Three.js Perspective: If the goal is to create something beautiful or helpful for others, Jesus would likely favor the tool that makes that possible most effectively. Using a library to help people is more in line with his "fruit of the tree" philosophy (Matthew 7:17) than building the tool itself just for the sake of technical purity.
2. Humility and "Vibe"
The tweet calls the obsession "stupid" and promotes a more rigorous path.
The Teachings: Jesus frequently championed the "poor in spirit" and the simple-hearted. He likely wouldn't care for the elitism inherent in the "just use C " argument. He tended to use simple parables—the "Three.js" of storytelling—rather than the dense academic or legalistic language of the era's scholars.
3. The "Stewardship" of Time
The tweet suggests that AI models are "more than capable" of handling the harder path.
The Parable of the Talents: This teaching emphasizes using what you have to create value. If building an engine from scratch takes years and yields no "fruit," while using Three.js allows you to build ten helpful applications in the same time, the latter could be argued as better stewardship of one's life and talents.
4. The "Foundation" Argument
Jesus did have a famous take on foundations (the house built on the rock vs. the sand).
The Counter-Argument: A purist might argue that C is the "rock" and Three.js is a layer of "sand." However, in a theological context, the "foundation" is the intent and the heart, not the complexity of the masonry.
The Verdict:
It is highly unlikely he would agree. The "vibe coder" using a library to bring an idea to life aligns more closely with the ethos of accessibility and "letting your light shine" than the gatekeeping of technical elitism. He’d probably tell the original poster that the Sabbath (and the engine) was made for man, not man for the engine.
