Same here, and I didn’t get this excited about anything since I learned about Bitcoin.

My point is: be careful as an end user and be responsible as a developer - vibe or vibeless.

Agreed. Use it to become a better coder and it will become more useful in your hands.

Exactly. I’m pretty sure we’re not talking about building Unreal Engine here, but rather about simple code snippets and mini apps that improve your productivity or automate some of your project’s processes.

Prompt is the difference between a working and a broken script or app. When I started coding Bitcoin Calendar i simply talked to AI like if it was a developer. The result was a disaster. Now I spend hours on understanding and formulating what I need, studying documentation to my best ability, using AI to compress my thoughts and findings into a specification, and only then I press “go”.

Yet even now, as I have a working product, the time spent reading and understanding how AI approached the task and what came out of it, made me realize numerous pieces that I should have approached differently. I am in fact planning to redo the backend of the existing project. I find this to be the best way to learn.

I see, I probably should’ve worded it better. I felt like app permissions and bad encryption practices fall into this bucket, cause if attacker gets a hold of your server or orchestrate a MITM attack, they’ll be able to get their hands on stuff users wouldn’t want them to.
