Vibe coding is just like passing all your coding tasks off to that friend who’s been doing coding as a hobby for the last four months.

Vibecoding without git (so you can revert back to a last working version) is like:
- Walking into a nightclub without condoms
- Trick bicycling without a seat
- Jumping out of a plane without a reserve chute
- ...
In Vibecoding you can let the AI do the git commits and reverts
Even classic coders doesn't automatically write safe and secure code.
That's the crux of it. People talk like most coders are some kind of know all security and best practices wise.
That's just a lie or virgin innocence.
Most coders are just keyboard monkeys, those are the replaceable ones.
Ah yes, as they gain experience and learn they’re still just keyboard monkeys. Guess we should go back and try to type up some Shakespeare eh?
LLMs have been improving at a much faster pace than a programmer gaining experience and learning.
Y'all are just burying your head in the sand.
Bogus comparison. Babies also gain skills and knowledge at a much higher rate than adults but they make poor software architects and are prone to being sick on hardware.
What? That doesn't make any sense. You must be a pRoGrAmMeR!1!!11
Who would have thought letting an AI shit out slop code would produce insecure, slop code? I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
Just keep giving it more prompts and editing the output until the squiggles go away and it runs. It will be just fine, surely.
