Ohh people are aren't going to like this
AI coding, "vibe coding"
Vibe coding has a niche, which is people who can read, understand, and debug code, but can't remember the syntax or can't be arsed to write everything manually. It's good for blocking in right now, basically, and that's an entirely valid use of the technology
Yeah, vibe coding is fantastic for “I want to give this input {a}, have it do {function}, and return result {z}” types of code.
The issue is that being able to articulate that to an AI already basically requires you to think like a programmer. And many of the people getting into vibe coding don’t have that kind of mindset. They want to just go “give me a program that does {z}” and expect it to work.
Yes! You've nailed what I've been thinking about. The valuable parts of my work are on a whiteboard with boxes and arrows, not typing code. LLMs are great to use like an interactive reference.
