we're vibing to the future...

im seeing vibe coding for what it really is: fairly easy prototyping to go from concept to prototype with little to no coding experience. sure, we're going to get a lot of badly code, half working applications, but that's not the point. the point here is to early prototype your ideas, get them out there into cyberspace, and have the powers at be (talented and experienced developers) take these ideas and contribute and/or run with them via their own skill sets.

the more ideas we have flowing, the better.

I’m good with product people taking on some technical debt to try out some ideas in the real world. It’s a net positive.

What I am concerned about is the technical debt bigger fish have been accumulating, and the threat to humanity it poses.

LLMs are just another tool in a person's arsenal.

The technical debt created by LLMs are overestimated. At a certain point, most LLM generated code made by software engineers essentially amounts to having success to a super fast type writer. Where most bugs get created, LLM or not, is during the modeling of software.

You can also grab whatever code accumulated and ask for it to be refactored to your specification.

Eventually senior developers are going to task and outsource modules to various junior developer LLM teams and then add all of the components together to make it all works as expected.

The Wright bros discovered flight, and 120 yrs later Elon is going to space, and landing back on Earth. So yes, ideas breed new discovery.

The more people throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks the better.

Absolutely brother! 🫂🤙 Gotta push forward.

I have found that not trying an idea is failing without trying.

Precisely. And it will get better still.

Exactly. Insert meme: we're still early.

It’s basically brainstorming 2.0

I like that way of framing it.

I think the game changer is vibe coding lets you build first, explain later.

the more people vibe code, the more data Ai will have and eventually it will get the code perfect.

Any suggestions on the vibe coding setup? Or maybe knowledge platforms ☺️

I used Goose and Gemini. Goose is great because it has terminal access to create and update files for you. Google Gemini Pro 2.5 is the best LLM at coding right now, beating everything according to multiple benchmarks. It can also get expensive. I switched to Flash 2.5 after a while to save money.

Vibe coding resistance is likely similar to the switch from coding in assembler to using a compiler. On my to do list is to vibe code something I've already coded to see if vibe coding can to a better job of it.
