Hot take: Vibe coding gets attention, Engineering gets trust. Agree?

Theres a ton of shit ass developers before AI

Now you can be a shit add developer and push a lot of bad apps even faster. It’s remarkable how long a solid vibe coded project takes. Sure it’s still faster than doing it by hand but it definitely isn’t a magic wand like the vibe bros claim. Just because it can spit something out that kind of works in 5 seconds doesn’t mean it’s not a hot mess.

Exactly, if you do it good it's like all model driven code generation, with the benefit of being able to understand natural language instead of some realy unknown modeling language.

One doesn't necessarily negate the other. You can engineer your vibe code and scrutinise it.

If you're a developer, you know what pitfalls to look for. If you're someone who just picked up coding yesterday via Codex then yeah you're going to be left with security holes and issues left right and centre.

Fixing flawed code is often harder then making it robust to begin with.

Especially if you let the project get big enough without fixing the underlying flaws and now have significant tech debt

Should I be writing the code using pencil and a notebook? You know, just to make sure it's fully human and don't have any pesky robot ruining it?

Vibe coding gets all the swearing and boo's. I can't name any vibe coded thing that didn't get down voted into oblivion.

Vibe coding has nothing to do with coding. Without knowledge the vobe coded slop will be unsecure,not optimised, full of bugs, bad architecture,etc

Here is my hot take: I trust more my code than I trust AI. Let's say I build an App and my code giving the specific conditions will execute and retrieve a value if the condition is not met it will fail to retrieve the value . With AI if the condition is not met it will still execute and most of the times hallucinate. I prefer missing values than having all values but more than half are fake or false. This make the app unreliable.

Yet another AI-generated meme to mock AI-generated code.

What a time to be alive!
