Vibe coding is basically asking an AI “Write a program that does [x]”. You’re just babysitting a computer while letting the AI do most of the work.

Oh thank you, that makes sense. I definitely understand why is popping up so much with the raise of Ai and a lot of people pushing you to use it.

I just an post on twitter about a guy trying to put out an announcement about how “its coming for your job” type thing and saying how he has built several full functioning apps with Ai and they’re all performing flawlessly and shit. Then it was promoting you to buy subscriptions to the Ai stuff and I felt like it was a bit of a veiled ad and interesting marketing push.

  Don’t get me wrong, AI code is decent and can do what you want if your instructions are specific enough. The problem is people pasting code into their terminal and not understanding what it does.

    I’m sure it can, but the key is learning first before just cut and pasting stuff. I’m new to a lot of stuff and more interested in learning about media stacks, NAS, self hosting and that sort of thing than Ai coding but maybe there’s a use case I’m not aware of yet.
    
    Thanks for the info!

  AI coding is pretty grest for simple personal apps and scriots, but I would seriously question anyone using it for prime time published programs that are sold to others.
  
  If my shitty little RSS Microblog fails, it just hurts me, in a non harmful way.
  
  Also, you really do need to understand how to code to use AI properly and ask it the right things. “Build an app, Here are some.specifications for backend and baseline code.” “Add this feature, make sure it updates the database for the new settings.” “Add CSS to make these bhttons match.”
  
  That sort of simple shit that non coders won’t know.

    Exactly! I don’t know any of that stuff and so I wouldn’t be trying to use Ai to build an app to sell to people.
    
    I’d rather spend my time learning first which is kind of how I ended up here actually. Trying to take back my self and learning current skills and internet literacy.
    
    I definitely will play around a bit to try to build something because I have so app ideas myself but I’ll solicit help from a professional before Ai.
