Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database

Title should be “user give database prod access to a llm which deleted the db, user did not have any backup and used the same db for prod and dev”. Less sexy and less llm fault. This is weird is like the last 50 years of software development principles are ignored.

llms allowed them to glide all the way to the point of failure without learning anything

  Exactly, if you read their twitter thread, they are learning about git, data segregation, etc.
  
  The same article could have been written 20 years ago ago about someone doing shit stuff via excel macro when a lot of stuff were excel centric.

LLMs “know” how to do these things, but when you ask them to do the thing, they vibe instead of looking at best practice’s and following them. I’ve worked with a few humans I could say the same thing about. I wouldn’t put any of them in charge of production code.

You’re better off asking how a thing should be done and then doing it. You can literally have an LLM write something and then ask if the thing it wrote follows industry best practice standards and it will tell you no. Maybe use two different chats so it doesn’t know the code is its own output.

But like the whole ‘vibe coding’ message is the LLM knows all this stuff so you don’t have to.

This isn’t some “LLM can do some code completion/suggestions” it’s “LLM is so magical you can be an idiot with no skills/training and still produce full stack solutions”.
