Vibe coding is like camping, mostly pretend. I hope to build a tent someday.

But it also reminds me of some of the epic spreadsheets people would build at work because they didnt know SQL. Largely impressive given the tools (if fragile and not generalizable), like watching someone build a house with only a flathead screwdriver.

It's still fun though. :)

of course! I would love the same tool IRL for building mad science contraptions

It's True.

Maybe we can vibe code some Rube Goldberg machines for 3D printers. 🤔

It reminds me more of the early days of PHP. Having programmed C, I still followed a lot of the rules that C had. PHP far more efficient though, as I wasn't required to jump through so many hoops. Then I started seeing comments that PHP was a horrible language. It turns out that people were commenting about PHP code written by people that didn't learn proper coding techniques (like instantiating variables, or having variables defined as a group at the top of a file). People, new to prgramming, were coding in a "stream of thought" process, and churing out crap that ran just fine. Of course, maintaining or fixing that code was a whole different story.

Experienced software developers will remain in high demand.
