    If it writes a bunch of code, but it’s mostly slop and dogshit and introduces bugs at an alarming rate, does speed matter?

        I’ll take that as a sign you’ve never written a single line of code in your life, since if you actually did so, you’d soon realise it’s like having a fast typing, cocaine fuelled intern as a sidekick, who only saw a couple stack overflow code snippets in your language of choice and ran with it.

          I find a lot of the AI code hate coming from people who apparently have never managed software production by less-than-perfect programmers. If you handle AI code like it’s coming from a team of consultants on a revolving-door staffing arrangement, it’s about like that. Ideal? No. If you hire 9 women can you get them to have your baby within one month? No. But if you are handed 10 programmers who know almost nothing about your specific project, you generally can get them to produce useable code at about the rate of 3 programmers who are familiar with the project - iff you’re disciplined about everything they do.

        Then maybe there’s something here to learn from for you. Or don’t and assume that your vibe coding skills are the same as career engineers who’ve dedicated their lives to writing quality systems and producing beautiful code?

        If it speeds up your workflow by that much (and I’ll admit it does make some tasks trivial for me now) that’s way more telling about your current skillset than the general state of the art.

          i don’t get it what am i supposed to be learning?

          Or don’t and assume that your vibe coding skills are the same as career engineers

          I don’t? stop assuming im a professional coder, i’ve said multiple times what i use it for in this very thread

          producing beautiful code?

          tell that to microsoft and salesforce and slack and jira and every other piece of junk software that was garbage before ai

          if ai is fixing bugs in their shitty “beautifully coded” software so much the better
