the motivation. what's the reason behind/point of starting to vibe code? from whence does it spring?
Hubris. The unholy acceptance that machine knows better.
But really everything is borne from need. Patching holes & making tools. Vibe coders are next gen script kiddies, and so so much of the world is running off those sloppy bash shells. I’ve written a few myself, I had one that saved ~2k hours / year across my old dept 🤣. An llm would’ve shipped it in 20 mins vs my week of dev time 😅
i literally only understood the first line of this but thanks
fascinating. what's a bash shell?
Bash is the programming language used on Linux computers. A script is a series of commands saved in a file that gets executed by bash to do whatever is inside. Automation. It sits as the base layer of most software, so it can be extremely useful depending on how you craft the code. Or, extremely shitty if you don’t know what you’re doing, which is where my relation to vibe coders comes from lol.
