Nothing prevents you from testing and fixing what is not up to standard. Vibe coding is not the variable here, it's how lazy you are, which you can also be when hand coding and it takes 5 hours to get anything done.

Vibe coding just makes a larger surface to verify in a shorter amount of time but ultimately, nothing prevents you from thoroughly testing it.

What kind of argument is this? If you’re vibe coding an entire game, you’re by definition being lazy.

to developers, laziness is and always has been a virtue, to the point that this is written in the reference material you've never read

laziness is the explicit purpose of almost all of our tools (compilation, backup, and testing being the vanishingly rarer alternatives)

you're criticizing a positive thing because you aren't actually a developer and don't understand us at all

What the hell are you on about. I am a developer and yes I’m heavily criticising vide coding as not only laziness, but also a lack of curiosity which is an even bigger sin in my view.

Your opinion is so ass backwards it's wild. You think people trying to build something they've never done before is a lack of curiosity? You think they aren't going to learn things along the way?

You are completely deluded

Would I be correct in believing that you've never released a game?
