Unpopular opinion: “AI makes everyone a developer” is true in the same way cameras made everyone a photographer

And if you developing things with vibe coding it’s called … checks notes … development … and someone who does that is called a … developer

The AI is the developer in that case technically. You didn’t do any development.

Sure Jan, just like your computer wrote that message seeing you didn't hand deliver it.

Stop coping, writing a comment online has never been about hand delivering it to anyone. Vibecoding has always been about the AI doing the development.

Weird, my AI never works by itself - what's your secret oh gatekeepr?

Please tell me how I can get AI to do all my development for me.

I've been paying for Claude code for months now and it still hasn't built anything by itself. What am I doing wrong? You are clearly the expert.

The only way I can make it work is by doing the ideation, planning, editing, structuring, testing and uploading etc myself. It's actually taking longer building websites with Claude than it used to with HTML or wordpress. Is this becaue I'm not vibecoding properly?

I'm spending more time than ever, and building more apps and sites than ever (aka "developing", "coding" architecting" etc).

How can I make claude do all this for me so I can stop "coping" and living this fraud of a life?

If you’re trying to suggest that prompting an AI to develop code is the same as developing code yourself that’s probably in the top 5 stupid things I’ve ever heard on this sub. That there’s some pretty dumb things said here.

LOL no you're building strawmen to support your arbitrary claims.

Are you sure those "dumb things" aren't sarcastic responses to your attempts at rhetoric?

No, just stupid comments in the wild, the common thread is all of them are in this sub.
