I've been vibe coding not knowing that it was called that until yesterday. I always give up before I reach anything interesting because I get about 4 or 5 good responses before it starts forgetting things and breaking already working code. And it's not even that complex of an idea.

There is no way people are coming up with whole applications with any level of complexity with these things.

I think I am now stupider for seeing what "vibe coding" means:

the what

@Demolishun oh geez this sounds like a marketing campaign

I thought this was coding with like, music and colored lights playing, or like a movie or podcast or twitch stream in the background. cuz you make a cozy vibe

this doesn't even make sense. why is AI creating the vibe when it's clearly human things that vibe other humans? dystopian.

I vibe code in snek chat

by ignoring the AIs because they're verbose and repetitive

I thought this was vibe hacking:

cause you know, he's vibing?

I vibe coded with my own code generation tool that van load and save files and can do bash executions. It's a cli written in C and works perfect. I've said "Create a C# project that posts json object {login data} to wss:// and reads response.". Dotnet version was wrong, it noticed that and asked me to fix it. I say yes, and it does it. He asks try to make project again? I say yes and finds out that the nuget packages are not installed. Same again yes yes yes. Bam, done.

But you're the totally right, you won't build whole applications with it. More start projects with it like "make aiohttp application with basic with authentication that checks credentials using db that's uses the dataset library. Password has the be ancryoted Sha256.".

We'll, easy shit, but it does it in fraction of your time and if you keep it basic enough it will produce the same code as you would've yourself. So it's convenient.

I was always downright hostile towards the field of AI, no diss to actual researchers, but you guys both misnamed the shit out of it and have never been loud enough in shutting down the dumbass things people say.

That being said, some years ago I tried a few models out of curiosity, this was back when the unenlightened were freaking out about losing their jobs en-masse. Anyway, all the models would always get some miniscule detail wrong no matter how much context I provided, which is irreconcilable with the perfection complex inherent to software engineering, making it a fundamentally flawed tool for the task.

From that day on, I knew that it would go nowhere far, and my mind was once again at ease. Good times.

Side note, and in case anyone thinks 'perfection complex' is exaggerating: you're missing *one* semicolon. Or better yet, you got a single decimal wrong in your PI constant.

I rest my case.

I vibe code when I have to use the dog vomit that is Angular.

"Computer scientist Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI and former AI leader at Tesla, introduced the term vibe coding in February 2025."

Yep, this is Just another marketing buzzword. Great.

@Demolishun Thanks for the warning.

I shall skip reading the definition, then.

@jestdotty "they're verbose and repetitive"

you can force them via context priming to avoid at least the additional verbosity
