@Techmeme@techhub.socialLinkedIn launches a new feature to let users display verified "vibe coding" and AI proficiency levels from third-party partners including Replit and Lovabl (Karissa Bell/Engadget)
https://www.engadget.com/ai/linkedin-will-let-you…
@cdarwin@c.imIsraeli tech founder Maor Shlomo,
whose vibe coding startup Base44 sold for over $80 million when it was acquired by Wix,
said on the podcast “20VC” that “it’s relatively easy to create a vibe coding tool.”
“Every feature that we put out, we know that’s going to take either a few weeks or a few months for competitor to copy,” he complained.
It's trivially easy for competitors to copy your brilliant innovation.
@tante@tldr.nettime.org"What Lin and Cursor achieved was to show that an AI agent can generate millions of lines of code that’s lifted from other projects, and that don’t compile, let alone work."

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsI don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

@tante@tldr.nettime.org"Vibe coding" really is indistinguishable from playing a slot machine.
There's (for some) a degree of fun based on the hope of getting something valuable for a relatively small investment. When it won't work you just keep pulling the lever. At some point you surely will win, right?
Also with slot machines the bank always wins while slowly draining your resources.

@sean@scoat.esWant to see a LLM become real self-aware, real fast?
Ask it to pretend it’s giving you advice that would have been current based on everything it could have known in 2005, and if it had been built by one of the big technology companies of the time.
Then ask it if everyone followed that advice, would it—the LLM—exist today?
(Then, for yourself, think about what the result of everyone vibe coding their way to 20 years into the future from today looks like.)

@pre@boing.worldAdded a category manager and category state section to the Exocortex Log app.
Have now organized and cleaned up the categories in my ten year database and so we can get some views of the time spent in each category.
We see that through September and October I was in a routine of work and slack with a bit of social a couple of times a week, until the end of November when I went away for social at a conference all weekend. I saw a demo there of a person using Shakespeare, and then when I got back started doing some vibe-coding, shown in in Red.
A break from that to go away at the weekend to a long social party then finish it off and publish a few days ago, since when Vibe Coding has dropped off a little.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI’m not saying the answer will always be “no,” but people are wildly, wildly overselling the number of situations in which the answer will be “yes.”
Sometimes the answer is “no” because incorrectness is a deal-breaker — and that scenario’s been getting a lot of attention (fake legal briefs, vibe-coding faceplants, etc).
Sometimes, however, the answer is “no” because making something •typical• isn’t really helpful. Where humanity needs to come to the foreground, homogeneity is positively unhelpful. Here’s a fascinating example:

@pavelasamsonov@mastodon.social @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioWhat’s really amazing about vibe-coding is how people are replacing programming languages which are strictly deterministic with human speech which is highly ambiguous and expect programming to be faster and better.
“Well only use it when you’re already an expert!”
None of the people starting their careers using this technology are experts yet, nor will the ever be.
And within some finite amount of time nether will you, the expert, be an expert anymore.

@ian@phpc.socialTo clarify something maybe not obvious from my previous posts, I'm very very anti vibe coding for anything that anyone will use. LLM codegen requires more oversight, not less.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsIn the age of "#AI" assisted programming and "vibe coding", I don't feel like calling myself a programmer anymore. In fact, I think that "an artist" is more appropriate.
All the code I write is mine entirely. It might be buggy, it might be inconsistent, but it reflects my personality. I've put my metaphorical soul into it. It's a work of art.
If people want to call themselves "software developers", and want their work described as a glorified copy-paste, so be it. I'm a software artist now.
EDIT: "craftsperson" is also a nice term, per the comments.
