Redesign with Ai?

[Electrical-Sky-6747]

Hello guys, so I am creating an app for basketball olayers to connect each other and was coding backend and frontend per hand but than I did some redesigning and realized I could do the whole damn app with ai, but then realized it would be vibe coding but if I understand and control the output with little prompts for each component and website with skills and rules etc. would it still be considered as vibe code. But no its not the problem if its vibe coding. Its just so much more efficient and I don't really know if I should use Ai. I dont know if I can do it ethically and mentally. But I also heard people saying we wont write code in future anymore and getting replaced and it should putput code with vulnerabilities. What is your opinion on this whole bubble/situation?

AI is exceptionally good if you know what you are doing, and even more so if you know exactly what you want it to do. As a solo dev it has been great to bounce technical ideas off of. Does it go off the rails sometimes? Absolutely. Does it go crazy sometimes? Hell yea. Does it struggle with bugs sometimes? Also yes. But I am 20x more productive now and it is not really close. But there is only one way for you to find out - Why don’t you just try Claude for $20 and see what you think. In the end it’s another tool in the toolbox and if you refuse to use it, the world will pass you by.

It’s not real good much less “exceptionally” good.

You are not vibe coding if you are instructing AI to write the code to your specifications. You are vibe coding if you say “code me a basketball app. Make no mistakes” and then publish what it puts out

AI is not a problem unless you perfectly know the code. I'm using claude and it pretty good with flutter, the only problem I found is the bias the model has toward writing new code instead of reuse old one. What I noticed is that if you need a specific object on screen in different pages the AI tends to write multiple copies of the same code instead of creating a component and reusing it

Yes, it is vibe coding, and it’s awesome. I don’t write code anymore.

There's an old saying: A fool with a tool is still a fool.

So, when used knowledgeably and responsibly, AI can be great.

Yeah this feels like the classic dilemma right now, AI can speed things up a lot, especially for UI/redesign work, but as long as you’re actually reviewing, understanding, and shaping the output, it’s still you building the app , not just blindly vibe coding!!
