Comment on Vibe Coding Is Fun–But Vibe Refactoring Pays the Bills

Comments

We've reached the stage where the word vibe in a coding submission is a really good indicator that you should just flag it and move on. It is a meaningless, incendiary, click-bait term that is meant to trigger people and induce engagement.

"There’s a lot of hype about vibe coding"

There is incredibly little hype around vibe coding. 99% of the comments about vibe coding are people propping it up as a strawman to knock down. Otherwise it's like it fills the void left by web 3.0's decline to irrelevance where a bunch of useless masturbatory noise is had by people trying to get in front of something that they think will be a thing. Maybe they can put it on the blockchain.

All of us normal people incorporate LLMs into our work process. No vibes at all. Just another tool in our belt.

EDIT: Just discovered that my comment is apparently dead by default, which is...interesting.

I noticed because I show dead. And magically, it's not dead now. Welcome back from banishment llm_nerd. Opaque heavy handed moderation is the only way to run websites now evidently.
