Perhaps you and the plebbit person are using different definitions of Vibe Coding. The average competent programmer sees LLM coding as another tool they can use to create software solutions. They normally don't use the phrase "Vibe Coding". That's typically used by managers who never could get into programming beyond very basic sample code.
Managers dream of being able to get rid of all human labor below their level (but not at their level or higher). They desperately want their vision of Vibe Coding, where they babble off some half ass idea and the LLM returns a functional SaaS product that will sweep the market, to be real. Because they've never really understood software development, they lack the ability to evaluate LLM code production nor understand any of its fundamental limitations. They just see marketing messages about it "getting better" with each release so they assume the trend (that might not even be real) will continue until they can be the CEO of a SaaS empire, collecting endless revenue for the small expense of a Anthropic subscription.
They get angry when anyone points out the limitations of the systems or why LLMs unlikely to ever be the good little coding slaves the MBAbros believe wishing really hard will turn into reality.

pure vibe coding is a recipe for disaster. if his project was truly made 100% by AI, then what he made is incredibly simple because AI largely speaking sucks ass at making things work together. it's great at making small pieces of code that you piece together yourself though

If this is the vibe coding general then can someone tell me if Opus 4.5 is better than Gemini 3.0 pro?

It has been working great for me for months but now can't handle basic tasks without fucking up or hallucinating. Is it time to jump ship or is this temporary?

Currently I am rewriting yet another vibe coded app and it's pretty nice. It's much better than having a client that has tons of conflicting immature ideas. Vibe coders usually come with barely working prototype and I can use it as reference without having to go through all this agile iterative bullshit.
>>
>>107602727
>I have never met an actual competent developer that's against vibe coding
nice to meet you
ai for development is really a nice boost. the issue with vibe coders is that those monkeys create pull request without checking their own shit. sometimes quite over-complicated logic, checking of crazy corner cases, weak tests, comments to code is like 2:1 (e.g., "increase this variable by 1"). and then you spend x2-x3 of time reviewing it.
personally i would not accept any vibe coded shit unless the person will be on 24/7 shift later as well.

Funny thing for the OP to add. Software architecture is about making a program maintainable. Yeah, your code works, but once new features need to be added, it has to be rewritten from scratch because no one can understand it and it's too big for the AI to fully understand.
>>
>>107604198
That's actually a pretty good use case. Hopefully you don't get stuck into the hole that prototypes used to where upper manager saw the mockup and demanded it be rolled out immediately because to them it looked complete. That's part of the reason why mockups started to be created to look like sketches so upper management could understand it wasn't a finished product. As long as your clients understand what they vibe coded is only good as a reference of functionality, it sounds like a good process.
>>
the average programming is shallow, which means that given the obious care:
>using good prompts
>testing appropriately,
>reviewing the critical parts
AI code will be of appropriate quality and done at a fraction of the time
Finally, if a sufficiently competent programmer edits, reviews and vets the AI code it stops becoming AI code and it becomes just code

vibe coders don't understand that just because it seems ok to them (amateurs) and to their users, doesn't mean there aren't massive issues with it like gaping security holes, bad data/resource/exception handling, or future maintenance headaches. We similarly don't call just anything with 4 wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel a street legal car either. Nowhere are noobs as overconfident as they are in IT.

I think everyone understands vibe coding differently. Using it and reading the output, iterating on it is not vibe coding. Vibe coding was the thing that the author of that post about it said - accepting everything the "AI" outputs without checking anything. I think people are mostly against this, not any use of "AI".

In my opinion software development was already dumbed down significantly - the piles of shit abstractions made everything shit and inefficient. Instead of doing even more shit faster, people should either start writing more performant, less bloated code and/or adopting formal verifications and write proofs.

That's because AI image gen models are good enough to replace the artist 90% of the time.

not surviving isn't the same as not manifesting in the first place.

and if there's anything I've learned working for both private and govt, it's that their momentum is INSANE, it takes years and years for anything to actually be thrown out even after acknowledging it has to go
>>
>>107604978
>Isn't the point of vibe coding to allow the AI to code for you?
speaking as a vibe coder, you need to at least be able to gauge the output of what it makes. if you were using it to make a mod for skyrim, just as an example, you could tell if the code worked based on what you, as a guy who knows skyrim, see when it runs. So then you can tell the AI "hey, I don't know why, but when I press E it does the wrong thing instead of what I told you to do, look into it", and by doing stuff like that you will almost always get it to work after a bit, unless what you're doing is impossible, in which case it will hallucinate fake solutions because it is programmed to never tell you no.

So human feedback is actually very useful because they might look at the code and say "well you need to do X and Y to make this happen when you press E", and then you feed that to the AI and it instantly understands now that it has additional context, and you get what you want.

That said this guy is retarded, vibe coding has a stigma and venting like this is just asking to get roasted.

>>
>>107602701 (OP)
I don't like vibe coders, but the people I truly could never respect are those that use AI to write for them (like the redditor here). I stop reading the moment I notice AI generated writing because there is an asymmetry between the effort the person spent to "write" and the effort that I will have to spend to read and understand what was written.

Whenever I see an AI-generated post, the foremost thought I have is that the person who "wrote" it must have a brain that has completely atrophied from doing nothing all day but proooooooooompting and being a paypig for model providers. It signals one of two things: You don't know what to write and so you're asking AI to have even the most high level thoughts for you, which means there is literally zero authenticity or originality in your post, or you know what to write but feel the need to embellish it because of some personal insecurity (it's "too simple" or "too short" or "too ungrammatical"), and you do so in a way that disrespects your reader's time.

PS: There's no denying Generative AI is a transformative technology that is already quite useful for programming and will only become more useful in the future.

I am well aware there might be a solution, but it isn't possible for me to reach with AI. I might not know that, but I DO know when it is feeding me bullshit. So what you do then is go to someone who knows what they are doing and ask "hey, is this possible?" and even a yes or no will send you on the right path. I'm well aware I'm not a "real" coder, I have no aspirations of being one. I just want the thing to run and I can reliably get it there. I'd never use it for anything involving money or lives, just fun little projects. But it definitely has a use case and can get me results.

As a software engineer, I dont give a fuck about vibe coders and hope whatever theyre building suits them well.

That is literally the worse time to vibe. It will generate an architecture and code that you won't understand and will be a huge pain to maintain.

I vibe coded a peer to peer internet page builder. Really just a proof of concept, but it was fun. I'm not a coder or I'd take it further and do a proper version. Ideally it would be a discord style thing where everyone can have a forum, personal site, and chat room all separate from https. Randomly generated urls.

And today I vibe coded a roguelike where you have to type in answers to math to fight monsters. Gets harder every floor starting with addition and moving onto multiplication, division, pemdas, simple algebra. For my kid. Works pretty well.
But I know I'm a no coder. People shouldn't pretend otherwise.

I was in the same view a few months back now it's serious vibe coding is the future

>inb4 it's not real code

as not real as using c to not code in assembly and in assembly to not code in 1s and 0s and python to not code in 0.

As a general ruler programming evolved from lower level languages to higher level languages, vibe coding is the future, low level coding like c will still exist but only for some high level technical stuff at the end of the day vibe coding will be tools that translate the ultimate higer level language (human speech) into low level code.

I tough it was not going to happen and this would be the last thing automated but anyone that tried opus, gpt 5.1 and gemini 3 knows coding as a specialized job ends this year, in fact if opus was not on bitcoin 2011 level were nobody knows of it it would have already ended.

2026 vibe coding becomes master level code
2027-2033 will still be gatekept by mostly milennials that know the why of stuff from a tech background but maybe don't even get the code
2033-2037 will be newcomers as tools like github are integrated into pre armed solutions of the previous gen vibe coding tools

This is why there is an ai arms race it's not about funny images, the ones that train the best coding tools will make trillions and those that fail to do it now will never be able to do it in the future as coding will become an esoteric topic for a few high level autists

It’s wild how literally only artists realise this is a bad thing and are not falling for the boiling frog trap. If I go right now on Patreon and look at the broad statistics I find out that artists didn’t actually get replaced and are still doing relatively ok. Meanwhile corporate codefags who love AI see complete drought in junior positions, highest unemployment of all college majors and almost weekly mass layoffs (even if they are done to then rehire jeets, they will still fire you and tell in your face it was AI and because AI gave them the excuse). Lawyer intern positions are doing similarly terrible and so does HR and other office jobs. This shit will consume the economy or crash the economy from malinvestmemt.

ChatGPT is fucking HORRIBLE at "coding". Hell, they all are. They can give you boilerplate pretty quickly. After that there is so much trial and error you end up wasting an entire day going back and forth. The GPT ui sucks so bad, at least Gemini was made by web developers. GPT freezes and after an hour you have to start a new chat.


It's actually TERRIBLE. Having spent so much time with "AI" I'm convinced we arent going to get this super human shit they think is going to happen. Not with LLMs anyway.

Great for writing a complaint letter to your landlord or replacing google for quick info, but after 3 or 4 prompts it is gimped. And now you can tell they are trying to save on tokens so it wont even give you back the file changed, it says "Oh replace this line with this line". It just sucks, I'm kind of surprised more people are angry at ChatGPT. I guess if you are indian or something AI is pretty good but as a first worlder it's like having a really dumb assistant.

Nigga i am not talking about future stuff, opus 4.5 is already on the other side of the border of "holy shit this thing is for real", codex 5.2 and gemini 3 are still on the other side of the border but not that far away from opus.

And if i am going to be honest codex is only behind because they put personas over it and thus does not interpret orders that well, i am not sure if the layer behind the personas is that far away from opus

Vibe coding will become mandatory even for low level coders to avoid problems such as the mars probes crashing due to different meassuiring units, in 30 seconds analyzing a codebase manually created an ai will find flaws like this.

Sure they won't let companies scan critical code bases such as fighter jet or military things, but you are sure as hell that there will be tools to scan for errors or weakness even for harder level code.

If you think i am making shit up try opus you won't believe how advanced this shit is becoming, coding as a job for 95% of coders ends in late 2026, after that the autists that understood general code structures but were not that good at code become king for a decade.

After that even normies will be able to do stuff as companies will offer code, test and deploy solutions all in house, this is the end game of going from binary to assembly to c to python, to browser languages, we have reached the last level code language that can be compiled and it's human language, you can seethe or get in before the rest.

Just like mars probes crashed due to retarded errors such as using inches and metric units together many things will start to be hacked soon like old crypto smart contracts simple because non controlled ai models like deepseek get good enough for hackers to use it to scan old codebases.

It's not the end game for coding but a new era and you better stop seething fast.
>>
>>107604105
Opus is better overall for front end and back end big projects, gemini better for UI , gpt better for individual error detection and algorithmic solutions however it seems to have a small context window as such it's persona will start to bullshit you the bigger it's stuck at a problem.

As a general rule you will need to understand game theory and logic to make it with this tools as they will end up getting stuck in recursion in problems, i shit you not i had a problem with opus and motherfucker asked me to ask chatgpt and gemini for ideas, it told me gemini idea was too academic and chatgpt correct but resource intensive and then found a solution mixing both ideas.

That said i believe Gemini is behind opus due to being a lazy fucker and chat gpt due to it's persona starting to bullshit as it losses context (hence sam buying most of the planet ram).

But by eoy 2026 this thing will be next level

If you have tested opus instead of being an ass here you would actually start to question if we are going to get fusion energy, robotics and a whole lot of tech discoveries thanks to AI.

Opus 4.5 is the line of "holy shit this thing is for real" once you realize this thing actually transform human language into low level code you will start to consider that fusion may be ending up appearing thanks to AI.

The interesting thing about AI in coding is that it's evolving the whole AI in other fields because copy and paste just simply don't work, google, anthropic, chat gpt and others are trying to make these things find innovative solutions to avoid the whole recursion stuck at a problem thing.

This is the start of the third industrial revolution first will be human language into code but then things will get crazy as people will start to use these things to even design industrial parts, then robotics will cause massive deflation.

I was an unbeliever like you until i say shit like nano banana (that crap destroyed graphic design as a job due to how good it is), i tough the whole code thing was a meme until i tested codex, gemini and opus, codex shocked me because it actually was relatively competent but eventually get stuck in big problems and it's almost impossible to rescue it from there.

Opus crossed the line of "holy shit", this thing will trigger an industrial revolution and the most deflationary event in human history.

I am seriously create an idea, refine a prompt into 1600 lines and fed it into this shit, you won't believe your eyes.

How long until AI can disassemble and decompile/reverse engineer apps/programs? By then the entirety of applications (past and ones currently in use) will just become part of the AI coding database, you will ask it to write a program, or entire suite of programs, a kernel, an entire os and it will just do it.

This is what everyone is failing to see, this tool allows a 100iq retard make a copy of amazon or ebay in two weeks by himself, this on first stage will reduce arbitrage power of existing structures hiden behind massive pre existing power and big codebase.

But then it will also trigger an ai arms race to the point that 5 people could make a game like players uknowns battlegrounds in 3 months by themselves from scratch.

It will be deflationary and at the same time stimulate the economy, and this is not including robotics deflation that will come in stage 2.

Those that see the big picture will get rich as fuck, previous era of tech made rich codemonkeys with tunnel focus on single thing and startup entrepreneurs with a lot of balls to ask investors tons of money to risk in retarded ideas that some times made money, those startup entrepreneurs in general had a guy or hired a guy as a consultor that gave them the know how of what they needed to hire to start developing their products those guys were as a general rule programmers that sucked at programming but understand the know how and the why.

Those MF will become filthy rich, they will now have the tunnel focus power of code monkeys and will be able to do what entrepreneurs do it by themselves alone shit is insane but there is still a pretty big level of abilities you will need to use these tools correctly.

You need farmland to make the tractor useful. If you don’t have a farmland then your tractor is useless. Oh, look, the big farmer magnate that employed 2000 farmhands now has free tractors, I guess he won’t need to pay those 2000 farmhands anymore, just hire 20 tractor drivers.

>>
>>107613476
Reviewing and understanding someone else's code is always a very time consuming process. Assuming the hypothetical here is vibecoding some random application, you're going to have to thoroughly review whatever output you get. Likely, the implementation and design will have several quirks that need to be fixed, so you have to go back and iterate on it (either more prompting or fixing it manually). All of this takes time. Whereas if you just programmed it yourself from scratch, you can get into a sane prototype state faster than the time spent babying an LLM.

AI tools are okay for things like basic boilerplate, one-off scripts, and test harnesses, but they should never be used for code that actually runs in production (unless you tighten the scope so much that you might as well just write it yourself). they're basically like super cheap junior devs: eager, aware of the latest tech, and can spit out a module that kinda works, but at the end of the day they don't have good judgment, especially for cross-cutting or long-term horizon issues.

I will say though, we haven't hired juniors in years. the market is definitely fucked for them. oh well.

>>107610325
there's a few dev subreddits that i follow (via their rss feeds) and it's always indians who make these obviously gpt-generated posts. like their comments and posts on other subreddits will look human (have poor grammar, formatting, other mistakes etc) but their posts on these subs will always have "perfect" grammar, formatting etc. i can often immediately tell they're using ai whenever they have em dashes, unicode arrows or some other symbols that they clearly didn't type (or copy from charmap or something) themselves

idk where i'm going with that last point tbdesu but it's just something i've noooooticed a lot recently
>>
>>107613545
There are certain specific tasks that might be faster to do yourself, but there are also many tasks that are demonstrably much faster to do with an LLM and are easily verified. I recently had an LLM write a highly efficient sorting algorithm for me that runs on the GPU, it is concise and elegant code that I was able to understand within a minute of reading but it would've taken me a lot of research time to come up with myself.
