Noncoders are using AI to prompt their ideas into reality. They call it 'vibe coding.'

  Get ready to be called in to clean up the AI slop.

    And we naively thought Excel files with VBA scripts used as a database was the worst that could fall into that category a decade or two ago.

    And get ready to haggle on price because “it’s just s few tweaks, the AI already did most of the work” even if you have to rewrite in from the ground up.

      You don’t haggle, you just walk away… there will be plenty of other vibe coders with codebases they dont understand.

  Yeah I tried it, and it doesn’t work. If you were a coder and you knew what constituted good code and what didn’t then maybe this would be useful, but I didn’t test that because in that case I don’t really see the point.

  All I was doing was just clicking accept on proposed changes (which is presumably all non-coders do because otherwise I don’t know what they’re basing their decisions on).

  I like the story’s coming out where the AI puts the API keys for expensive pay per use services in plane text or creates ultra inefficient code that makes unnecessary calls.

    Such a waste resources as well, I can do all those things for a fraction of the cost.

    There was one just yesterday where AI printed “Listening on 127.0.0.1:1234” while actually listening on “0.0.0.0:1234”.

  Its basically an upgrade to going on stackoverflow. Plus the AI is generally more pleasant to deal with.

    If AI is trained on stack overflow, it’s only a matter of time until ChatGPT starts telling us that our questions are duplicates of something from 20 years ago

      Then just closes the ticket, without actually linking to the solution.

      ChatGPT Karma system that only allows limited interaction while you haven’t jumped through enough hoops?

    Define “pleasant”

      it wont insult you for not knowing everything, wont direct you to some other similar problem that doesnt help with your current problem, it basically doesnt ever get mad if you dont tell it to. It would be very nice if it didnt have equally bad flaws on other things.

    An upgrade is that you don’t learn anything?
