Ohh people are aren't going to like this

AI coding, "vibe coding"

[–] ReCursing@feddit.uk 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

Yes please.

  • I’ve found ai useful as a tool especially when switching context to a different language or framework, as a quicker way to get the syntax and features, to generate a first approximation. It works and saves time
  • vibe coding is a horrendous waste of my time doing code reviews. Don’t people look at the slop their tool generates and try to refine it? Why is it ok to waste my time like this?

Edit: just did yet another code review generated with “vibe coding” and there is so much slop that will create maintainability issues in the future - did everyone forget the truism that code is much more expensive to maintain than to create? So much duplicated code, misleading names, useless and excessive tests, hard-coded strings duplicated, etc. …… and I found an entire generated function very close to identical to one the same guy already created

The parallels with the Dotcom bust continue. Dreamweaver would barf up copious amounts of horrendous HTML that we would get paid decent amounts to clean up. A huge waste, really, but we have forgotten the lesson.
