🤷‍♂️

I never said it won’t be, just that it currently isn’t. And we probably won’t see vibe coders anymore once it is imo.

But in the context of this post, the recomps are probably garbage because ai is nowhere near that level yet.

Idk why you’re so upset with me, I told you I agreed with you but now I’m starting to think I misunderstood your initial comment. “Understanding is expensive”. Yeah because vibe coders don’t understand the ai slop they’re putting out, which is why all the vibe coded stuff out there is slop, and you still need to pay a dev if you want a good product. And like you said, shit ass projects have anyways existed. Where do you think so the vibe coders came from?

Of course the plan is to replace everyone. The rich are evil as fuck. But “everyone” includes the vibe coders.

I kind of don’t understand your point anymore. Unless you’re upset people are calling out vibe coders and you feel personally attacked for some reason?

No matter how good AI gets, how will a vibe coder maintain the code base? Or keep it up to date with the latest software it works with?

If it gets to the point where a vibe coder can ask for the ai to update the code for him and it works perfectly, then I can guarantee the vibe coder will lose access to the AI. Capitalism will step in and the rich will keep it exclusive so they can turn a profit with entirely ai run companies selling ai made digital products and software.

It’s already happening to an extent. To get any real use out of it you have to pay to use it. Grok went from limited free use and unlimited paid, to extremely minimal free use and limited the paid tier to the extent of the old free tier, made a higher paid tier and limited that too. As soon as exclusive licencing deals with big corpos start happening, regular people using it effectively will be a thing of the past. Except as an ad platform of course.

I agree. Ai is good at churning out code quickly, and can be a helpful tool to speed up production. But without a dev behind it that knows what they’re doing the only “quality” control is “does it work? Yep, ship it.” Zero understanding of how or why, no ability to maintain the code or make edits.

My partner is a software engineer and describes using it as managing a junior. It’ll do the busy work, but you have to check the code, clean it up, and make it actual work in the context of your project.

Personally as a 3D artist, vibe coding annoys the shit out of me. So many helpful looking plugins, none of which work quite right when you install them, and only work on one specific version of blender. No chance of being updated for the new versions, making it pointless to add it to my workflow. And they’re charging money for that shit so now I can’t even buy plugins that would be useful to me with confidence anymore.

Vibe coded slop will never be as good as human made, no matter how good ai gets if the vibe coder doesn’t understand the code.

If the old one still works perfectly fine, why do we need a more “modern” one. Why are we not given the choice? Maybe I don’t want the extra “features” (probably some ai crap)

I’m not a prepper by any means but I feel like anything that uses electricity is also beyond my ability to repair, so I feel like a solar panel isn’t the worst thing to have.
