Ai is a broken search engine that goes beyond what is needed from a search engine. It makes what I am trying to do 10x harder. The western world is cannibalizing itself with AI as a cover. It is over valued as much is in yankeeland. I have yet to be impressed, yet I have come to realize it is a tool of enshitification guided by the wizard of oz. It will bring death on this world not through it accomplishments but through its failures. It is a limp dick, a hollow shell, It is a feedback loop of a bad idea. I have yet to be impressed by "AI"... It is like Pokémon Go. Cute, fun and only a few people are playing it now. It is a buzzword. A shit stain on my bowl from the steak dinner that I ate last week.

But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn't work, but it's cool!

And don't forget that hours of chilly AI-coding can save you minutes of hard manual work. That is peak efficiency

Vibe coding is to coding what microwaving is to cooking.

Don't associate microwaves with AI.. The microwave has very viable uses!

I usually chuck a potato in the microwave for like a few minutes before finishing it off in the air fryer. Get that fluffy inside and crispy outside in less than 30 mins, whereas oven cooking it in foil would take an hour plus. Same results but quicker.

Omgawd yes....

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 26 points 23 hours ago

Nah. You can eat the food from the microwave, the code doesn't lead you anywhere 😁

Nah, vibe coding is to programming what passing off food from a restaurant as your own (á la steamed hams) is to cooking.

And the restaurant is 1 star

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

The restaurant has exactly the average quality of everybody that cooks.

Not of restaurant chefs or people good at cooking. Everybody that cooks.

What the heck is vibe coding

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 3 points 11 hours ago

Bless you....

Asking an AI to code for you and doing very limited coding yourself. Just feed the errors into the AI and take it's solution as gospel.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm hyper critical of anything the AI puts out, not accepting it as gospel and turn whatever crap it gives me into a working solution, is that vibe coding as well?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

No, it's just spending three times as much effort into fixing the slop as you'd spend coding yourself

Negativity of the AI crowd is so crazy to me while I'm having Claude Code Opus implement entire UIs on flutter and backend Go interfaces w/ unit and integration tests on a single go.

I wish I could steal code. Everything I do is so situation-specific. I save my own snippets "for next time" but they never seem to come up again lol

I migrated an Ant project to Gradle last week, and oh boy, was that painful. I used AI to do a lot of the boilerplate, but then I had to polish out all the errors it made. And it made a lot. But still, writing all those build files would have been horrible without AI.

When I imagine someone vibe coding, I picture the scene in Grandma's Boy where JP is working on his game, and getting super frustrated because the character's head just keeps falling off.
