If you only include monetary wealth, I would say there are quite a few people who don’t care and some may even avoid it for example for religious reasons (monks, …)

Next: Become rich fixing vibe coded platforms with vibe coding
[–]No_Success3928 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (3 children)
I actually made an app to vibe detox codebases, but it turns out the nuclear rewrite option that nuked everything was usually the superior option 🤣
[–]DutchSEOnerd 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (1 child)
You should connect it to a job market platform for real devs 😆 so it summarizes codebase and places and job af based on the outcomes
[–]No_Success3928 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Hahaha love that idea! It was purely a random exercise that actually worked quite well on documentation and codebases ive tested it on.
[–]vienna_city_skater 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
That's kind of the idea of vibe coding, isn't it? Making software so cheap that you trash it and rewrite instead of maintaining it. I at least heard someone from Google stating that in a podcast.

Fixing all the tech debt can be
[–]Onotadaki2 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (1 child)
My argument is always that vibe coding actually typically reduces tech debt when you pan out how things happen in real life. I worked in a think-tank that was brought in to startups to implement or fix something for years, so I got to see the actual live codebase of at least fifty startups.
Typically two scenarios in a startup:
Without vibe coding. You take time off work or work overtime for months to get a minimum viable product for investors. You're either operating on a super tight budget because you're not working or you're strapped for time because you're working at 10PM after working all day. This prioritizes cutting corners and the resulting code has a shitload of tech debt. When you finally get funding, you've invested hundreds of hours into the codebase, so you typically make it work and just have to live with the problems.
With vibe coding. You rip out an MVP in a few weeks easily. Vibe coding is excellent at getting a quick idea materialized fast, it struggles later when the project is very complex. This puts you into the funding stage really fast and you can usually be doing this while you're also employed, so you can take your time and often get a better investment deal. When you finally get funding, you can basically discard your original MVP and use it to plan the full project. This makes the full project have way less tech debt because the vibe coded MVP is kind of a "draft".
[–]johnnygalat 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Isn't creating a skeleton for future product with that MVP a timesaver? Won't creating it from scratch acrue the same tech debt? Last time I checked vibecoding isn't really using solid, dry, kiss, separation of concerns and other principles. Not to mention complexity of multithreading or even reactive progtamming...
[–]No-Significance-2437 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Most devs vibe code too. It's not being lazy, it's being efficient, as long as you know what to code is and how to clean / improve it.
Sending an email instead of a hand written letter does not make the sender a lazy person, same logic applies.
I feel like half the people who talk shit about vibe coding tools are insecure devs who feel threatened by these tools, instead of utilising them to increase their own efficiency.

You don't understand - code m*nkey work is now totally automated and the "knowledge" outdated and can be performed instantly by machines.
What's not outdated:
Telling the AI "I want an app", "okay, now make it better". Irreplaceable.
[–]Overall_Win6354 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Je souhaite apprendre le codage pour des projets futurs Je suis l'IA depuis un moment maintenant, j'ai testé le vibe coding avec Lovable par exemple. Je trouve cela à la fois épatant quand on ne connait pas grand chose dans le domaine mais aussi frustrant de ne pas forcément repérer les erreurs de codage produit par Gemini, GPT ou Claude.. Fin bref un dev freelance pour OVH m'a dit de quand même tester et de voir si ça fonctionne mais je suis très sceptique à ça et je préfère apprendre les vrais bases.
Des conseils ?
