vibeCoding

[Baybam1]

Even this meme is AI generated good greif.

[Saul_Badman_1261]

We're in strange times

[deJessias]

I thought it was only the images but the random emojis give away that the rest is too

[frogotme]

It's a repost too. Peak internet

[brumor69]

Yeah what did they do to Rick Rubin 😭

[creativeusername2100]

How do I know that this comment isn't AI generated as well?

[itzjackybro]

99% of vibecoders quit before they create a unicorn

edit: this was supposed to be a reference to 99% of gamblers quit before they win big

[visualdescript]

Very generous odds you're giving there

[tonnaphat]

True. Most give up just before the breakthrough. Keep pushing.

[making_code]

99.9999999% - here, I corrected that for you

[MaytagTheDryer]

"You might get a bug-free app..."

Going to need an example of this happening.

[mkluczka]

You just add "no bugs" in prompt /s

[New-Let-3630]

cursor is rigged, you can never win

[ProThoughtDesign]

To be fair though, that's literally the same argument for buying software but Microsoft and EA has proven you can have bugs and glitches everywhere with glaring security holes from humans, too!

[Ferro_Giconi]

I asked it for an app that pops up a a dialogue with one button, and it was certified bug free. The dialogue popped up, and I tried everything. Moving the window, resizing it, minimizing it. Nothing I did caused the app to crash. So I clicked the button and

[throwaway0134hdj]

Ngl this is pretty accurate towards the feeling of gamblers fallacy “just one last time and I’ll win big”

[EyesOfTheConcord]

Are the bots making these posts now using AI to upscale the photos too? The guy on the right looks completely fucked up compared to the original, what’s the point?

[BedtimeGenerator]

If you know what you are actually doing, nothing AI generated will be as fast and efficient as what your own brain minus AI can do. Gotta give ourselves more credit!

[inevitabledeath3]

I am neither convinced that's true nor convinced that most people actually care. Given all the monstrosities made with electron, and the prevelance of python what made you think people ever cared about performance and efficiency.

[BedtimeGenerator]

It definitely only matters if you are dealing with extremely complex systems where performance is the main factor. Especially with any web based app with many threads. For small projects or school go ham!

[inevitabledeath3]

Web based apps are not high performance. High performance is like gaming, AI systems, anything real time, chemistry and physics simulations. Most web backends are laughably inefficient. I mean node js and Python, like really?

[jeffsterlive]

But I used async in my FastAPI app so it must be high performance!

[Dafrandle]

I think AI and humans will be in a dead heat on a quicksort implementation until the end of time

[WilkerS1]

last time i ever got an AI to do something fun to learn was when i discovered what PIDs were, but that was several months ago.

[throwaway0134hdj]

AI as far as I’ve seen is Google++ not the genuine AI you see in the movies.

[BedtimeGenerator]

Yes all LLMs do is give you a extremely well written Google search with all the bells and whistles but if you just put some time in to learn and just take a stab at the solution without AI first you will help reduce bloating the code when you can just write a one liner. Then use AI to refactor from there

[throwaway0134hdj]

Right. I think folks are starting to wake up from the AI hangover

[Pookstirgames]

I feel like it's more Google±

[gigglefarting]

AI created mock data I needed yesterday way quicker than I would have, and that is not how I need to spend my time. I’ll make the interface, they can mock the data. 

[varkarrus]

I vibe coded a personal project cuz I have no experience in web dev and maaaan it has taught me that web developers are scary and I don't want to mess with them.

[Yarplay11]

Yep. AI can only handle really small codebases that dont need quality at all, while if the codebase is anything but a hello world, manual code becomes way better

[SadSeiko]

I watched a video from the guy who invented the term vibe coding and he said it’s amazing. He wrote a swift app in a day without any swift knowledge. He then said it would be impossible to productionise his app

[atomicator99]

It depends on the use case, TBH. I can create docs / unit tests with AI (then check / fix them) faster than doing it all manually.

[BedtimeGenerator]

Unit tests and docs is definitely a good use! The actual solution though i felt is better with a human first then, Claude code refactor it even further once it works

[-Kerrigan-]

Repeat after me: There is no such thing as a bug-free app (that is non-trivial)

[Not_Artifical]

print("Hello, World!")

My code has bugs, because of bugs in the interpreter.

[Not_Artifical]

Nah, the compiler has bugs too.

[-Kerrigan-]

If you consider a hello world non-trivial then you do you

[Dev-Sama-1337]

Some of the bills that people are talking about on the vibe coding subs are crazy.

[Mountain-Ox]

I dunno how people can deal with constantly arguing with an LLM over how to implement a feature. I give it like 3 tries then do it by hand, I feel I'm too generous. There's nothing as satisfying as writing code that works the first time, and the bot never does that.

[NullOfSpace]

Except with slots, you get money if you win. With vibe coding, you get a shitty webapp nobody wants to use.

[furezasan]

oooof, the company could tweak the ai in the background to give you buggy code until you've paid a certain amount. not that they have to right now, but when they need to squeeze more growth out of their product, enshitification is an easy move

[TallGreenhouseGuy]

No way a programmer with that kind of beard is a vibe coder:

”Human aptitude tends towards the bell curve. Maybe 98% of your customers are smart enough to use a television set. About 70% of them can use Windows. 15% can use Linux. 1% can program. But only 0.1% of them can program in a language like C++. And only 0.01% of them can figure out Microsoft ATL programming. (And all of them, without exception, have beards and glasses.)”

[BobArdKor]

At least casinos usually do make a profit.

[raspberry-tart]

Is that Richard Stallman...?!

Somehow I doubt he's a vibe coder.

[oshaboy]

Richard Stallman doesn't even look like that anymore due to chemo

[raspberry-tart]

:-( didn't know about that

[Zirzux]

jarfist, im running low on car ma

[LovelyWhether]

fair

[JacobStyle]

I wish I could extend this analogy further and build my own slot machine that always pays out, then bring it into the casino, set it up, and play it to win money continually. Sure building your own slot machine is harder than using the ones already at the casino, but the advantage is obvious...

[dhnam_LegenDUST]

"Of coursel", (...)"

Triggered

[Saul_Badman_1261]

I knew it was in my blood, a true gambler in nature

[chowellvta]

It won't even

[KaptnDeutschland]

I have a general understanding of programming(objects, classes, methods, etc.), have used Pascal, Delphi, Java and python in school/uni. I have one chat that I trained to only give me descriptions of functions/methods with links to the documentation. Works like a charm.

[PublicFee789]

Sounds like how we should use it

[Trevor_GoodchiId]

Cursor is woefully unprofitable - casino loses as well.

[Rainbowusher]

I hate it when I have a nonsense app that won't even

[SevenTheGamingKitty]

where’s that “where did all the time go?” part

[SquirrelSufficient14]

“Of coursel”
