To people commenting that no should do this ever, and people commenting that kids shouldn’t learn this way:
It doesn’t have to be the only way someone ever builds software.
The right technique matches the effort level to the needed level of polish.
And vibe coding can be a great way to learn, and a great way to explore. Build one to throw away, as they say.
Finally and most interesting of all. Vibe coding opens up a whole new region on the effort-to-polish spectrum. There’s bound to be some interesting problems that can be solved now.
- kranner 2y ago> Build one to throw away, as they say. I believe Fred Brooks clarified this to mean you shouldn’t hesitate to throw away your first attempt if it comes up short despite your best effort. If an LLM came up with the first implementation, not only did you not do the hard work of understanding the problem and how to solve it but, worse, you could be anchored to the LLM’s implementation thinking about how to patch it up so it performs adequately. Personally I think you should have LLMs have a go after you’ve had a solid try yourself, so you can actually compare and see what you might have missed.
