- sph 11mo agoThe author of this website couldn't be further from any notion of vibe coding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqHdvT-vjA0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqHdvT-vjA0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=443UNeGrFoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=443UNeGrFoM Vibe coders follow the herd (Python, JS, Rust), they don't write any C.
- elcapitan 11mo agoI was talking about the posts on HN and the motivation why they are posted right now, not the author, with whom I'm familiar. Also there's literally a discussion on C for vibecoding on the front page atm https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46207505 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46207505.
- sph 11mo agoI stand corrected. I was unaware of the existence of hipster vibecoders.
- a96 11mo agoOr a lot of people are feeling threatened by Rust and trying to push more C.
- rramadass 11mo agoDon't jinx it :-) Given the amount of C code in existence for practically any domain you can think of, i imagine LLMs can do a good job in generating it.
