  Who the wants to use a mobile app for dev work anyway, AI or not?

    I imagine people that don’t know what things like files and folders, web browsers or even “applications” are.

      What business do people like that have trying to write one, then?!

      I don’t mean to gatekeep, but… fuck it, I do mean to gatekeep: people should have a basic level of competence – or at least a shred of intellectual curiosity in becoming competent – to write software!

    I do. I’ve been in situations where I’ve done it to keep myself occupied, where pulling out a laptop would’ve been impractical and arguably not cool.

    Hmm, maybe coupled with speech recognition? Vibe coders are more the talking type anyway.l

  I’m really curious who these people are that actually use these things.

    Not this specifically, but I do have a coworker that exclusively uses AI. He gets a lot done dont get me wrong, but all products look…seamy. Also they all use the sorta old version of react which is how I could tell its AI generated. That and the emojis in the README. Templates and CRUD are much faster, but its hard to maintain. I just let him do his thing. He got a lot done in the last 6 months but lately hes been having major issues keeping up with all the projects he pumped out. The AI no longer has the context so its much difficult at least from what hes saying in Teams.

    Its still pretty decent and template/CRUD. But its not so good with anything specific, lying about libraries that dont exist, and forgetting vars/processes. The PRs are funny sometimes.

      I just had to review my first AI PR yesterday and I considered looking for another job.

      He should at least lern about prompt enginerring then. duck.ai has a template generator he can copy from.

  What is vibe coding? Is it some new bullshit viral term?

  source

  • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    It describes the act of using an AI as the primary method of writing code, as you’re going by the “vibes” you get instead of an actual understanding of what the code does.

      What? Must be great results.

      I did not know this is what “vibe” referred to. That’s completely the opposite of what you would (should) want to do if you’re going to write code with AI assistance.

    Using AI to write code for you, as opposed to earlier LLM coding which would merely complete the code you were writing in your editor.

    You are vibe coding if you delegate the implementation details of a problem to the AI.

    There are varying degrees of vibe coding as you increasingly become more hands off and let the AI run unsupervised. Some people actually queue up messages and give full computer permissions so the AI will keep coding for hours without having to check on it.

    As if “vibe” alone as slang weren’t bad enough.
