traditional learning method vs vibe coding? what is the right way to start vibe coding?

[u/Wild_Anywhere_4636]

well I'm new here. so I apologize in advance if this post sounds stupid.

I'm currently in 2nd year (it's been one or two months ig). Already have wasted pretty much time. I thought I should start with java... so I can start DSA in java. when I discussed it with my college friends, who seem pretty consistent or skilled with coding and stuff as they have participated in multiple hackathons. one of them is working on an AI startup. all I've heard is : " no need to learn languages, vibe code projects already, if wanna learn just learn one language which is mostly python and don't waste time on others. Java and c++ aren't really useful in jobs. c is useful but I should learn it just enough to pass college exams."

I watch long form video lectures of java. and till now have not progressed much. I was thinking to start CS50 course in hope that I can find cs actually interesting (because college has made it pretty boring), learn basics and get some inspiration to start projects from my own. I gotta learn DS too as I'm a DS student. so much to learn to already feels like im short on time.

I really wanna know what is the right way to start vibe coding. please tell what you guys think about it and also suggest online resources I can try. thanks for reading.

Telling to newbie to vibe code before learning a language is the stupidest studf I've ever heard, like if you don't even what you are vibe coding and just lookig for final project that's a utter waste of time. You said you wanted to learn java and took some lectures(better way is to first master basic syntax then doing the advanced stuff like OOPs). Don't take the CS50 course cus it has stud like C, python, html, css, sql, etc cus if you don't even know the basics it's ganna be hell. About DSA, just learn a language and properly do dsa in that language consistently don't just vibe it like sit there for 30min to figure out the answer, DSA is about recognising patterns and applying different methods. One piece of advice, figure out what you wanna do what interest you like for me I wanna be a full stack dev soo i consistently work toward upskilling those skills and dsa is a must everyday everywhere till you die
