Comment on Ask HN: Dealing with Vibe Coding Depression?

Comments

I don’t get it. Is anyone forcing you to vibe code? If you don’t like vibe coding, don’t do it. The time you save when vibe coding is offset almost 1:1 by the time you need to verify the AI’s output for all but the most trivial applications. And even then, were you happy writing trivial code?

I haven't experienced this at all, especially when you can ask the AI to generate unit tests based off of specs.

I'm manually testing AI output twice as much as if I wrote the code myself, but I'm generating code 10x faster so I'm still gaining massive amounts of productivity.

What language is this and what context?
