I think a lot of people have a sort of “slot machine” experience with it at some point. You just start firing off prompts on some new project, wait a few seconds, see what prize you got. Then you start doing that over and over just letting the LLM code and code and not even review what it’s doing. It really is like getting hooked on gambling. You’re getting a thrill from anticipation, not the actual results.
This is what I personally consider “vibe coding”, not simply using LLMs or agents or whatever in your workflow
- wyre 4mo agoAbsolutely, vibecoding is addictive, agents being able to do all of these hard things that would otherwise take days or weeks to figure out how to do by hand. It's just another avenue of dopamine addiction, not unlike scrolling TikTok, Reddit, or wherever except vibecoding is disguised as being productive.
- teaearlgraycold 4mo agoI’m confused by the people that “don’t even look at the code anymore”. I’m looking at the code Opus generates. And I’m glad that I am, because it needs revision.
