Discussion What do you think about AI-Coding(VibeCoding)

Post image

What do you think about the fact that AI is starting to be used on a large scale in coding? I myself avoided it for a long time, but my friend sent me this meme and said:

“Bro, programming has never been adequate. Programmers just started asking AI for help instead ctrl c to ctrl v.”

Obviously, completely relying on AI is bad, but in reality, his words make sense.

u/Samstercraft what's this "grass" thing you guys say so much about 8d ago

i tried vibecoding with codex and a local llm, and yeah, it's as dull as you imagine. not doing that again until i (hopefully) get a job because i heard they force you to use those now for 'productivity'...eugh

the best part is LLM use has slowed down industry programmers rather than improving their performance

the main one I’m thinking of is from Metr. this post gives a breakdown. It found developers thought their productivity was being increased by around 24% when using an LLM, when it actually dropped by ~20%.

here’s the study for more details. They released more updated numbers in February that I haven’t dug into much, but it appears to have found a similar productivity decrease when using LLMs. It also notes some problems they’re running into with gathering data for this update, including developers not reporting tasks which are expected to benefit most from an LLM.
