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

Comments

It's going to be a spectrum so will be hard to divide up.

I know a crash-course-day's worth of programming language(python and C), but very strong understanding of the principles of programming. So LLMs are a godsend because I can basically write code, function by function if need be, in English.

"Create this variable, do these mathematical transformations on it with retrieved value from API, display the output of it here, also compare it to the output of everything in the test set, store differences greater than 30% to their own set, store all values in an SQLite database, create a simple GUI with a field showing each output, make a button that outputs the results to a .pdf, give it a title block with labeled results listed, etc. etc."

Does coding become vibecoding when you do it in English? hah
