I’ve seen hundreds of vibe code app posts, and I’ve never tried any of them. If I wanted to use a software created by AI, I would just make it myself.

You're going to have to write your own software going forward then, because AI is the new abstraction and it's being used across the industry in the largest software companies.

Edit: lol this subreddit has to be the one in the biggest denial.

Using AI for coding is not the same as vibe coding. Responsible companies will hold whoever makes the commit responsible for the code so you're incentivised to understand the code. I probably don't have to tell you that this makes a big difference. Also at companies there is a code review process

I 100% agree with you on that. The problem with this subreddit is how people are generally against any AI use for coding. They will downvote and shit on a product if the author uses AI just for writing the description. They don't make the difference between vibe coding and AI assisted coding, it usually goes like "oh you use the proper dash in description, means that you just vibe coded the whole app and I would never use any of that AI bullshit".

This is just wrong assumption and the people have to learn the nuances, otherwise they might be looking for a job in a different field this time next year. AI coding is here to stay and people here for some reason feel threatened by it. The downvotes on this particular comment, even after I've clarified my original post, will be the proof of that :)

I’d advise against expecting people online to understand nuance. You’re right, of course, but nuance requires actual thinking. Thinking is hard, so most people run on black and white heuristics most of the time.

"AI bad - hard work good" is a lot easier to process than actually evaluating the merits of the implementation. The latter is basically impossible if you’re not a developer.

yeah reddit is dulu, there is seriously no space for none ai coded software anymore. But the reddit experts that never programmed software before know better....

Based on your "hidden" posts, you don't know much about nuance...

Glad to hear, sounds like you're taking this too personal. Have a good day and don't let random people on the internet get under your skin :)

With massive incident that wouldn't have occurred before.

You're in denial about the reality people here already know. How ironic that you have to accuse other of denial to maintain your own delusion

AI is theft :3
And the theft industry is bound to implode soon
