I spoke to a few proponents of vibe-coding: some people i deeply respect, some with deep experience of engineering, some i would say would be the best qualified for actually _knowing what they're doing_ when they engineer, review, and test code output by these ocean-boiling, sociopath-owned #LLM monstrosities..🤖🔥
..in most cases one of the main arguments is (it's easy &) _it is fast_. "can do so much in so little time!" "life too short!", "more productive", etc. it all converges abt speed.
Funny as it never struck me that software dev was _too slow_! on the contrary one could argue that taking time is actually a feature for more stable/durable software.🤔
@jz I had to vibecode for work once and at first I had very little oversight. This allowed me to write the same project twice, one with an LLM and another by myself with Emacs. I can say from experience that vibecoding is NOT faster and it's much more frustrating, because the machine does not always do what you want despite your instructions. Moreover, if the project includes frontend, then an LLM is noticeably slower, because it has no sense of aesthetics and you have to edit CSS by hand.
