My wife left me for a vibe coder.
Vibe Coder: "No that still didn't work!" AI: "Oh, you're right..." replies with exactly the same code
I see a great future for programmers who have to fix all the crappy code created by vibe coders.
"moved API keys to Environment Variables" - says it all 😂
vibe coding definition = the person dosn't know a sh*t what his doing
Most of the vibe coders are lying about the revenue first of all and lying about the apps
great era for bug bounty hunters
Non sanitize inputs... ✅ API secret keys exposed to public ✅ allow all origins ✅ ✅ profiting $80k per month... Priceless
I spent decades fixing other people's CRAP. Hey, nothing to complain about here... I made a sh*t ton of dough in the process... like, A LOT. Well ima come outta retirement, 'cuz this next round of CRAP is gonna be off the chain... "Sorry, guys, but we're going to have to throw out and rearchitect this whole subsystem... and you're going to need a different kinda AI: Additional Investment".
I am a programmer with 20 years of experience and I use AI for programming because I don't like writing tedious code. But I know when AI is spitting nonsense and I can guide it to the right path, I can assess whether a given piece of code makes sense or not. That's why I don't worry about the effects of such work.
As a software developer myself (not a senior), I get why it works. The real difference is HOW we program; you still have to understand programming concepts, figure out how to fix them, know where your code sits, etc. A successful piece of software made through vibe coding will work if your prompt is exceptional, BECAUSE you know how to code. Vibe coding may be trending, but people who don't know coding won't be able to fix their software. I honestly don't think it's that big a deal.
bro didn't pass the vibe check
If an LLM can Vibe code it, why pay for any vibe coded software when you can use an LLM to bootleg it yourself, there is no moat to protect against clones being made over night
one word : maintainability
Vibe coding is great as long as: 1) You already know how to build stuff without LLM's. Like actually shipped something that is used by real users and you can debug and fix things Or: 2) you are just learning and want to get something up quickly but being fully aware it will likely be broken and it will fail Anything outside those 2 scenarios is just a recipe for disaster
saw someone make a SaaS in 1 weekend charging 60$/m . they open sourced the frontend. none of the api requests have a bearer token, all anonymous requests accepted. so if you download the repo and remove the frontend validation you get there product for free lmao. (its a gpt 4 wrapper) so free gpt 4. Now that you show this, now I'm thinking this is probably a wide spread thing. the most disappointing part of all of this is that the guy actually made over 1 million dollars since it was a popular product.
Vibe around -> Find out.
Vibe coding is great for experienced devs to build faster and understand the flow, but for beginners, it can turn them into writers instead of real coders who understand what they're doing.
Vibe coding is for people who don't know what they are doing. It is not a replacement for knowing what you are doing. How did we get here? I miss the days when AI tools would tell you to make sure you review the code you are accepting.
