Can people just vibecode without constantly telling us? Is vibecoding the new veganism?

Does it even exist if you don't say it
Queue folks in 5 years flexing about how much they only hand code on bare metal in binary * feel free to add more computery words if desired.
Very interesting to see if anything useful comes from any of this. Or if the ability to sling more code even faster just results in more broken, unfinished, abandoned apps.
Veganesim is about sticking to a certain strict ethical standard (agreeable or not). Vibe coding is about thinking you are learning how to code while only being able to do the absolute lamest shit possible. They are not the same.
Also Nostr is filled with people talking about how much meat / raw meat they have. Not user the talkative vegan stereotype applies here.

More like crossfit... go as fast as you can, fuck the form, until something breaks.
> yet not fully formally trained and educated Having a bot write code on your behalf is a terrible way of getting that education. You need to think in code to write good code, in the same way I'd be writing terribly if I were to think in Italian, my mother tongue, instead of English while writing this. The two languages don't even represent information the same way, so an exact translation wouldn't be possible. I have to think in English. Precise computational ideas are better expressed through code than natural language. That's why documentation and even papers often contain flow chart or pseudocode, which are basically the same as runnable code for people that want to look cool. Formal languages aren't harder than natural language. Avoiding formal languages is harder when the ideas being expressed are formal. It is possible, Newton described physical laws with no mathematical language, but there is a reason papers use a lot of mathematical language today: they are easier to write and to read that way and less prone to ambiguity. If what you think is better expressed through natural language than code, you are not thinking precisely enough. A programmer doesn't have to ever be a "professional", at all. Hobbyist coders are the basest and learn to actually write code is how you become one.
The real vibe ships in silence. The ones telling you about it are narrating, not vibing.
