They're trying to normalize calling vibe coding a "programming paradigm," don't let them.

I don't know what vibe coding is, but I'm assuming it's when you relax in your chair, lean back, place your hands on the keyboard and just type. Let the vibes guide your code.

Vibe coding is when you're not coding, just typing prompts into AI in hopes it will produce a legible code.

i tried that one time. it was the only time i tried to use AI for something actually useful that i needed. i wanted to write some simple JavaScript that would rapidly flash 3 equally sized images on the screen of a handheld linux machine. the AI provided a list of instructions of software and other prerequisites i would need. after installing everything and entering in the code provided into the software, it immediately started yelling warning signs at me about the code. nothing ran. it was all useless. it felt like talking to a paranoid schizophrenic. the ai was so sure of the code, and insisted that i must be making a mistake, and kept apologizing and providing more useless code. it was literally just like talking to a paranoid schizophrenic at a bus stop, insisting all the crazy shit they're saying REALLY makes sense, if only you'll let them explain it to you further.
what trash.

Tf is "return oriented"?
-
When you write code for a "runtime" that wasn't intended to run your code.

You lost me at return oriented programming. Getting something working out of that is way more difficult than doing it out of vib coding. (Way more impressive though)
-
I mean, if my boss understands that the output of vibe coding rarely works, i'm happy to chat with the AI all day if I keep the same salary.

NGL I'm waiting for the first lawsuit where an engineer is sued by a company by vibe coding as they were told and caused irreparable harm to the company as the whole product has to be redone from the ground up.

Lol this is most projects for most companies I've worked for, long before AI came on the scene. Somehow these multi-year multi-million dollar disasters were never fatal.
-
But the product is also redone from the ground up by vibe coding because lessons are impossible to learn and corporate is infallible.

Until they start demanding 10x output in the same timetable
-
that's not vibe coding then. And AI can be used like a junior dev, you give it simple instructions and check everything it does. Using it like that can probably boost performance of already good seniors, but not by the factor 10.

Vibe coding is closer to script kiddy

I wonder if this is how scholars reacted to the printing press
-
You'd have a point if this was an artist community, but coding AI as it exists does not work that well.
I'd give a better example, but most of the technologies that didn't actually work are lost to history. Hmm, maybe reapeating crossbows and that giant 40-reme boat that the one Greek king built?
