Vibe coders be like

Spent a full week trying to get Claude/Cursor to unfuck my router after I asked it to help me set up some isolated subnets via SSH. It really struggled with retaining “object permanence”, or remembering instructions. I had to nuke it and start from scratch…twice.

It’s fine if you need to slam out some dirty HTML and CSS. Not so much if you have real problems to solve.

3 hours of debugging can save you 30 minutes of reading the documentation

I suppose people will always do what they think is easiest

Eh, I rather write code by hand no matter how long it takes.

A nice thing about vibe coding is it can do it in the background while I do other things. I’m not staring at it generating code for 3 hours.

CW be like:
Spend 7 weeks learning C# (we learned Java in Uni, it’s not that hard ffs) and implementing a proper base for a project: Nah
Let ChatGPT generate fucky code and let $me fix it over the span of 7 weeks: Hell yeah

Had I realized that it all was generated, and he didn’t have a single little clue how it works, I would’ve just rewritten it with django or something. Hell, technically the whole server part wasn’t needed, it could’ve been index.html, style.css and scripts.js and that’s it.
