I'd even go as far as saying that you should reject anyone applying for your startup if they claim to have vibe coding experience.
I find it hard to imagine why you would even put that on a resume. Isn't it like saying "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING"? But then I'm old.
Silicon Valley is already jumping on the trend and hiring Vibe Coders.
What the actual fuck are they on? Is this satire?
wtf
Tripled our ARR
I mean going from $100 to $300 is technically tripling. It just doesn’t mean anything
Putting in 12-15 hour days
Ultra hard pass…
I can't code (well). I was hoping AI could be a kind of auto-didactic teacher for me. Dreams crushed, I'll have to learn it all the hard way after all. Unfortunately "the hard way" is after I'm already fried from working all day...
Even still I've only ever used the term "vibe coding" ironically and I'd never try to use generated code in production.
AI can teach you to code, as long as you don't switch off and stop using your own brain. Use it as a search engine instead of a teacher, always confirm original sources.
My problem is that I can't trust it not to hallucinate something that I can't catch it on. If it tells me something wrong, and I don't catch it, that might stick and be really hard to unlearn. It's more like a study guide that's only semi-reliable, and I don't like unreliable information.
What exactly are you trying to learn by the way? Web dev or more backend stuff? Systems and infra programming?
There are a lot of guided resources that can take you through learning that don't involve generating a lot of random text.
That's probably part of the issue too - no direction. I think I'd enjoy working with databases, so I've been thinking about DBA; I just have no idea what the day to day looks like for a database admin and the unknown is scary. I'm quite familiar with HTML already at an intermediate level, but I think I want to stay away from having to write JavaScript for production, so almost definitely not web dev 😅
