I’ve seen this term thrown around a lot lately and I just wanted to read your opinion on the matter. I feel like I’m going insane.

Vibe coding is essentially asking AI to do the whole coding process, and then checking the code for errors and bugs (optional).

    Based on my experience of AI coding I think this will only work for simple/common tasks, like writing a Python script download a CSV file and convert it to JSON.

    As soon as you get anywhere that isn’t all over the internet it starts to bullshit.

    But if you’re working in a domain it’s decent at, why not? I found in those cases fixing the AI’s mistakes can be faster than writing it myself. Actually often I find it useful for helping me decide how I want to write code because the AI does something dumb, and I go “no I obviously don’t want it like that”…
