Nothing says “I feel insecure” like “I don’t believe in vibe coding”.

lmao
If they want to broadcast their insecurities to the world, so be it. I’ll acknowledge and go about my day 🤣
This is one of those topics where the good and bad of it is contextual. A balanced approach is possible. It doesn't really need to be one way or the other absolutely. Many things are like that though.
So..serious question: what's vibe coding anyway? 🤷♂️
Using LLM tools to code in some fashion - either automated or assisted
I’m working on something that makes me believe in vibe coding more than ever

I'm not insecure about vibe coding. I don't code. I think that most people that talk about vibe coding are egotistical yutzes with no endurance.
You're an exception.
As a senior dev with 13 years or so of professional experience and I started learning php back in 2005 my main concern is that it will make me dumb overtime. But then if the tool doesn't go away does it matter? I think that feeling is the same as a farmer saying a tractor will make him a worse farmer years ago.
I just vibe coded hard last week and I did probably 40 hours of work in 10. I was able to get a lot of the core functionality working in Laravel with me personally writing very little code. I think being experienced and knowing what I'm doing I was able to prompt the right things to architect it right but without that it probably would be a mess to maintain. For now I've decided I will just actually read what it does and why and hope that keeps my skills up but I'm not sure I want to code without it anymore at least on a day to day level.
In the past couple weeks I also was able to create 3 different TUI tools written in Go a language I don't really know which would not have been possible without vibe coding.
