And they’re all going to raise their hands in dispair when they get hacked, scammed, exploited, or sued.

Vibe coding? Is this some kind of hipster terminology 🤦 ? Sounds terrible…

Kissaki@programming.dev on 14 May 06:16 collapse

I’ve aired my frustration about the terminology previously; anyway, I’m trying to accept the terminology in the interpretation it could make some sense:

You tell the AI the “vibe” of what you want the result to have, and it does that - but of course it’s not necessarily that simple. You may end up doing prompt engineering, multiple iterations, trial and error, etc

When we tried a product at my workplace generating a web app prototype in react seemed viable and reasonable, possibly good for prototyping and demonstrating. We also tried a Blazor app, and it utterly failed. I suspect because of less training on it and much more complex mixture of technologies.

All my homies hate vibe coders.

Guys, I know AI slop sucks, but maybe don’t shoot the messenger (downvote OP)? I think it’s worth knowing how mainstream media is presenting this.

I’m going to call that “vibe downvoting”

wccrawford@discuss.online on 14 May 12:19 next collapse

A lot of people see an upvote as a signal that they endorse the message, or at least want it to spread.

A downvote is the opposite of that.

You’ll never convince people not to “shoot the messenger” on link aggregators because it’s antithetical to their view of the system.

Hmm… If only there were buttons to express explicit disagreement or agreement of the behavior of the OP, the idea expressed in the post, or both.

An interesting social media evolution path to think about, at the least.

So, is there like some kind of indication that this is just sharing information and it’s not in favor of? Because that would get me to stop and think before hitting the down vote.

andybytes@programming.dev on 17 May 05:25 collapse

That’s something to consider. Everybody’s just so fucking frustrated. We’re tired of looking at this stupid dystopic shit.

Lenard Flören, a Germany-based art director at an advertising agency, said he quickly realized that trying to create his dream fitness app with one lengthy prompt would lead to a plethora of bugs that “neither ChatGPT nor my clueless self had any chance of solving.”

If everyone can create programs, and everyone fails, maybe it’ll bring increased appreciation to development and good development and products? One could hope. I guess the worst offenders won’t even try themselves either way. The services are not that accessible.
