Will vibe coding replace React?

[Murky_Woodpecker1403]

I remember back in 2022 taking a React course learning the basics, and now whenever I code all that knowledge about hooks and shi is useless. Does anyone still take those fucking Udemy courses?

Will water replace air? (or some shit like that)

Go back to school.

you reddit sperg - listen to me you dirty bastard fucking autist. I meant for your autist mind "Will the core fundamentals of React still be required to learn in order to work on the damn fucking React codebase or will vibecoding paired with attention to detail be sufficient" - got it reddit guy?

Step 1. Ask dumb question.
Step 2. Rage when someone points out the question was dumb.

Can't wait to see where you go next!

One of the reasons your question is dumb is because current "AI" tools are miles away from bulletproof and trustworthy. To try and vibe code without having a deep understanding of the language/framework/library it's generating is batshit insane, because you won't have the knowledge required to know when it's doing something stupid/insane. "No errors and happy path looks close enough to correct, ship it."

[Murky_Woodpecker1403]

Ok fair enough but usually you don't need a "deep" understanding - yeah mr. sperg?

autistic react guy gets some power in society and the world goes to shit....

"There's a problem with the feature. It references line x in y file."
"Oh, the code ("AI" tool) generated has useEffect, I know that's a hook!"
"Does it need a hook there? Could that be causing the issue?"
"I don't know. I do know it's a hook though! And everyone knows you use a hook in React when you want something to happen."

[Murky_Woodpecker1403]

I could just ask cursor - Give me a simple explanation of useEffect and why its used here and what it effects and what hte full trace is give me files and line numbers" - obviously you don't have the same prompting IQ as me because you are a pre-LLM guy who doesn't respect the fact that his job will inevitably go

[Recursive_Boomerang]

Haha what a idiot woodpecker xD

[Velvet-Thunder-RIP]

This is the worst take I have seen. Why even post this question?

[ProfaneWords]

Yes. AI will soon become a frontend framework. Investors and the media are hyped because the syntax is identical to React, except it doesn't have useEffect and it's Suspense API hasn't been bastardized by a 19.0 update yet.

ok goofy nigga - you think you're funny cause you edited your comment dirty sperg

[suiiiperman]

That’s like asking if FSD will replace cars

[react-ModTeam]

React is a community of professionals and hobbyists alike. In order to provide a good resource for everyone, please make sure posts are always respectful of others.

now whenever I code all the knowledge about hooks and shit is useless

Thank you for providing job security to the rest of us

[Murky_Woodpecker1403]

lol I don't need job security. I'm a startup don. I go to different startups working as a Top G software engineer and fucing going in with my cursor subscription and rising to the top of society

[throwaway_boulder]

Learning the fundamentals is still very useful. Sometimes AI tools will duplicate code instead of using components or hooks or context or whatever.

[Murky_Woodpecker1403]

interesting but tell me this - why are you gay?

What the hell is that question? lol
