You need an ai to write the code…

Then you need ai to check that code…

And finally you write the code yourself….

But it's WAY too easy to let the AI get ahead of itself, move too fast, do too much, until you have dug a hole that takes tons of time to dig out of.

Hence the last part where you just write the code yourself

Oh yea…⁤⁣ I’ve def seen this … But TBH, for some people the vibe sketchout is an important part of the development process. nostr:npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3 👀

And no harm in rebuilding again from scratch … if and when you’re ready…. and maybe incrementally? But it likely will take a complete rewrite to get to a state of maintainable code.

Can’t say that it’s more or less work than otherwise, though. Just different.

In the very near future, we’ll be able to ask AI to take a messy repo and make it maintainable, and it’ll do it and do it well. I don’t know how long this will take, but probably sooner than we think.

That’s an empirical question … we’ll know it by the code it creates.

And you usually end up rewriting a code base a couple times anyway. So seems harmless. Like a sketch leading to a study and a study leading to a gallery piece. Vibe coding is sketchy.

Yup. Sketchy. Good for some.
