I recently learned the term "Vibe Coding" and I can't believe that it doesn't mean to be doing spaghetti coding but you don't care because you're just vibing with it.

  The LLM generates software, freeing the programmer from having to write and debug the underlying code

  Aaaaand this is the problem. Sure, go ahead and let the slop machine generate the code, but you definitely have to debug that shit.

  I like your definition of “vibe coding” better. Like, just hacking out some shitty c rogue-like, adding features as you feel like it, commenting out shit you don’t want to bother with.

  Like “doodling” with code.

    That basically describes all the code I wrote during college

  Have tried it a few times. It is an interesting concept, but yields utter crap that will break and your LLM cannot help you with.

  In normal projects, that’s where a junior dev says “Maybe we need to start again” and all the seniors start looking for work elsewhere

  Well, given the subpart quality of most complex AI-generated code right now, it could easily mean that too. You just have an AI system generate some code and then just vibe with it and ignore the cavalcade of errors and issues that code causes.

    Yeah, but that eliminates the joy of saying “hu-huh, this code is shit, but it’s MY shit” before lighting up a second joint.

  I also thought that’s what it meant. Just coding with vibes. That’s how I do it because I barely know anything lol

  When your code base exceeds your token window, you’re gonna have spaghetti anyway
