It's hard to overstate just how much my confidence in a piece of software drops when I see this. (Especially for this project which was very vocal about its shift to genai-first)

A bar chart showing weekly commit counts for a github repository. Before January, the project averaged about 15-20 commits per week. Since January the average is closer to 50.

Then: $10/month? I'm a developer. I can write this myself in a weekend. (2 years of coding later...)
Now: $10/month? I'm a marketing executive. I can vibe code this myself in an afternoon. ($5000 in tokens later...)

Sometimes I wonder why do I even bother. I mean, people are perfectly happy to let statistical models designed as bullshit generators do their coding. Why do I even bother running their test suites and inspecting the failures as a human, if these tests may well be complete bullshit?

Klingt nice. Aber fast die Hälfte der Commits stammt von #Claude.

Das Tolle an #vibeCoding ist doch, dass keine Konzepte veralten

So my current #vibecoding setup is running locallay the [gemma3:31b](ollama.com/library/gemma4) model in ollama. Since ollama now has support for Apple's accelerated

Reviewed some vibe coded UI today, because things were a bit off. Well, the things that were not off were 50% of the time off and the other half looked ok by accident. Hell yeah, this vibe codes stuff is utter nonsensical and a lot of work to fix. Why is this popular? How do I tell my colleague? #vibecoding

Some people may think of LLMs as the great equalizer. People who aren't programmers can vibecode working programs now. People who aren't artists can slop out something resembling art. However, it's the exact opposite.
When I was a kid, I also pretended to write programs. Of course, I didn't have such sophisticated toys ("kids could play with a stick for hours", as the hyperbole went). But then, I was fully aware that it's just make-believe and it didn't harm anybody.
#Vibecoding creates a horrible chasm of inequality. We have people who believe they're good programmers (even treating vibecoding as an enlightened religion) who shit tons of code at real human reviewers who now need to sift through. And then, we have projects embracing vibecoding and shitting new releases at unprecedented rate. And these releases again need to be reviewed by humans downstream.

If you think #vibecoding is fine, let me ask you a single question: would you use a medical device whose software was vibecoded? And by "medical device" I mean something where a bug could literally kill you.
If you answered "oh, gawd, no!" then consider that anytime you use an #LLM to contribute to or develop an #OpenSource project, there's a chance that this code will end up powering such a device. And even if it doesn't, you're setting a trend, and it will be even more likely that the software used by these devices will be vibecoded.
I have type 1 #diabetes. I also lead a physically active life. This is both a blessing and a curse. My doctors keep suggesting Constant Glucose Monitoring systems and insulin pumps to me. And I do realize that such hardware would likely improve my blood glucose, and definitely make my life much easier (especially with a closed loop system).
So why do my fingertips look like crap, and I keep using a glucometer and insulin pens? Because I don't want to risk my life to an unnecessarily complex technology.
Admittedly, I occasionally get things wrong and suffer consequences. Or I suspect I got them wrong and worry. Or meet an unexpected situation and need to figure out a way out. Or even accept having elevated glucose levels (as in nearing 200 mg/dl) because there's just no way to safely fit insulin doses on a particular day.
But still, I prefer having control and risking my own mistakes to a device that could suddenly start pumping insulin because of a bug. And that was even before the story of the application that stripped the decimal point and gave people ten times the dose. Or the one about CGMs giving wrong high glucose alerts. Or the whole vibecoding fancy.
Back then, I could have considered such a device. Now, I'm more worried than ever. And honestly, I'm hoping that relatively simple glucometers will remain available. To think that my worst fear used to be of a mechanical fault…
