    ‘Vibe coding’ is where you code only with prompts and never look at the generated code.

    Seems like a great way to create insecure unmaintainable code if you ask me.

      Also I just dont get why you would ever generate code

      Like, you have no idea how to code something? Sure, just ask it about methods how to do it. But generating code too? Cant you RTFM?

        I think you’re severely underestimating how lazy some people are, lol. I totally get what you’re saying, and from a logical perspective it makes sense. It’s just that if you survey enough people, i really think you’d be surprised at how little effort some are willing to put forth for just about anything

        Isn’t the reason obvious? To save time? I’m not saying it’s a good thing but it seems prettyyyy obvious why people are doing it.

          But it’s going to take hours of debugging every time. If you actually learn how to write code, you’ll get better at it over time and reuse common functions. It’ll take less time as you get better.

            Well… Just because you can code does not guarantee you will find it enjoyable. It’s pretty common for people to like certain aspects of coding but not others. For instance, I personally find writing unit tests boring. So if something came by that made writing them less mundane I would certainly be enticed.

          Save Time where? If you want to code more than snake, you need to have a basic knowledge of coding anyway, and once you know how to code, you will want to code in your own style. And if you just want to make basic programs, just fork someones github project and change a few lines.

            You’re saying this with your understanding of the field. The people pushing this are either untrained (and thus don’t know what’s going wrong) or are trying to milk money out of the former.

            Not all code needs to be held to the highest standard. Sometimes you really just want a throwaway script.
