A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits.

    Once you learn how to code, you’ll realize how dumb it is to vibecode.

      Right. It’s called using AI. Not letting your vibes make decisions. Glad you agree.

        The vibe coding thing is a meme that originated in what devs at Microsoft said about how they develop while using AI, if I recall correctly. So vibe-coding has become synonymous with using AI to write the majority of your code.

            I’m confused why you linked a Wiki article that reiterates almost exactly what I said? Think the only difference is that it was originally coined by the dude who helped start OpenAI.

            And no, most major dev teams aren’t “vibe coding,” but that’s where it becomes a meme. People use it as an insult as well for shit code.

            Regardless, your main argument here that “real devs aren’t vibe coding,” is irrelevant, as the people in the original article don’t seem to be competent devs. It’s very possible they used AI-slop code; but, even if they didn’t, they did a piss-poor job so it might as well be insulted as such.

            “The software developer describes a project or task in a prompt to a large language model (LLM), which generates source code automatically. Vibe coding typically involves accepting AI-generated code without reviewing it, instead relying on results and follow-up prompts to guide changes.” A.I. written code. Software devs normally check the code for bugs not just accepting whatever code is thrown at them with no checks. It is why real developers are making money fixing the A.I. bullshit code.

              Right. Actual vibe coding is rare in real development. Especially large companies. You’d know this if you were a developer. But it’s much more fun to complain about AI with such… “confidence.”

                So you’re an AI shill, interesting. Have you ever considered you may not be very smart?

                    No you’re not mate, by being obtuse you only prove the point. You can be arrogant, you can be ignorant, but when you are both you achieve a truly profound level of stupid.

                lol you wish. You don’t know how many vibecoded bullshit PRs I have to review on a daily basis. AI is undeniably making developers worse.

                  That’s because your developers don’t give a shit. It’s not because they’re worse! It’s because they’re just waiting to get laid off. Most of them probably want to get laid off. And if you are reviewing PR‘s and you can’t control them using AI, you’re part of the problem.

        it’s called using AI

        Oh, I thought it was called “another AWS outage”
