Tonight I discovered that “vibe coding” just means using AI to code and honestly it’s way less cool than it sounds.

Just don't use your real keys in a vibe coded client.
I'm tired of the phrase already
Most of it will be shit quality. Overrated.
I just assumed “vibe coding” meant getting into a mysterious flow state of some sort when writing code (something I could not do because I don’t code), but when I found out that it just meant using AI to code (something I *could* do) it was just a little disappointing I guess.
Coding used to be an amazing skill. Used to be though.
Thank you for your bravery in explaining this term I believe this is a public good! I hope those who code do not hold this against you.
As someone with zero coding experience - it was pretty cool to just use Cursor AI/Sonnet and be able to vibecode a Bitcoin Tower Defense Game. (Great for MVPs etc)
