Vibecoding:

  • go to chatgpt
  • ask it to make an app
  • ask it to fix errors (ad infinitum)
  • ???
  • sell app (optional)
  • get sued and ruin your reputation (hopefully)

Largely accurate apart from special-purpose tools usually being employed instead of ChatGPT

Same thing. Coding agents just automate the third step and waste even more money and energy.

The ??? isn’t a reference to underpants gnomes. It’s just that no one has ever gotten LLMs to actually fix its own bugs to find out what that step is

I think it has to use one of the specialized AI coding agents like Claud Code. This way, it can burn more tokens and ruin your code base at scale.
