Vibe coding is basically having no idea about coding and using the AI to make snippets of Code for you
Like if you want to programm snake, you would prompt it:
then it would tell you like:
so you tell it like:
and so forth, then you just paste everything into a txt and ask the AI to debug it for you and hope it works
The people who need vibe coding shouldn’t be using it. And the people who can use it, don’t need it.
Idk about the last bit. I've done some vibe ~~coding~~ debugging to fix game mods written in languages and frameworks I don't know and have no interest in learning at the moment. I still look over the output, but given a lack of knowledge, I'd still consider it vibe based
I don't have the bandwidth to know enough about everything I encounter to be passable, and sometimes I just want to make some random thing work with the minimal amount of effort so I can get back to the actual task at hand.
This sounds terrible, lol! Are there any examples that can be pointed to? I'd love to see one of these constructs.
On tilvids.com some dude called picopixl is doing tutorials about this

And yeah, its pretty great what it could do, but for someone who (is his own words) can tweak the code so it works, it tool longer to make a Prompt than just coding the Game yourself
Also, Tetris in JS is like Babys first JS project, so even if you really wanted to just get Tetris from somewhere, you could have just git pulled any github project
