VIbe coding: coding like you have no idea what the heck you’re doing!

I did do a game long time ago as well - it was a 2d platformer with a skeleton killing things going through a labyrinth - I hand-coded the animation of the skeleton movement frame by frame.

Yes, I see your point, that kind of thing is very human / aesthetic / and also very connected to a human’s expectations of ‘what is right’. Tough one for an AI.

On the other hand, I feel video is kind-of the same way, but AI seems to be getting the hang of it.

I’m not sure what to think right now. I need more time to form a clear idea. What I do know is that, at this point, AI is a very powerful tool. The more skilled you are in your niche, the more it can improve your work and productivity. To that, I say yes :slight_smile:

@tibi_diablo I just spent 12 hours vibe-coding with Cursor an internal support platform (not for customers so I don’t care about security / bugs).

0 code, only chatting with Cursor and telling it what I want, adjustments, errors I see. It’s very impressive, I’ve never built something so fast. The speed is crazy because you do not touch the files, you just tell it what you want: add a button here, connect to this via api, create an internal db, add sort by X option, etc

I invite you try it!

Sounds interesting, I will look into this at some point. I do use ChatGPT a lot, so far I haven’t needed vibe coding.

I found it much faster than using ChatGPT in browser for this use case. It’s not about needing it, just another productivity boost.

The stuff that I code is more centralized I don’t need full code just bits here and there i is much easier for me to use ChatGPT… I will at some point look into vibe coding as well.

I have no experience with vibe coding, but I really enjoy Fireship’s videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw18-4U7mts

Yeah.

This is what vibe codding is now, for me the idea of buiding something without understnading it is nonsense and I am not talking just about code.
