I don't get the concern trolling? If it's so bad, use it, if you don't want to, don't. It seems to me like usual it cannot handle context for long enough to build anything useful, and when you do it becomes extremely over architectured. But others losing their coding skills because they are lazy? I don't know if that's even a problem. Those that want to learn learn. Those who do not, will never code. In the future they can pay for the privilege apparently. I don't see it as a problem. It will only be more useful to actually know how to code. Exponentially. I would never build something lasting on a framework built like this though and would love if we could distinguish generated libraries easily to avoid vulnerabilities and maintainability issues
Sounds like the kind of logic a vibe coder would write ๐ค
Ok, but it's not. Did you have some additional arguments or discussion points or is it just hate with you
No hate over here. I don't even disagree with you. I just found it funny that you're so vehemently arguing that vibe coding won't rot your brain, but you tried to express it with a nonsensical "if then" statement.
Edit: To clarify, I do think there's a concerted effort to devalue software engineers. CEOs are pretending that junior engineers can be replaced by LLMs and that senior engineers can get more done in less time with LLMs. I'm deeply skeptical of these claims, and I think they're lying through their teeth in order to drive their stock prices up in the short term, and software engineer salaries down in the medium/long term. So, I don't think LLMs are as competent as they claim. I also don't think they'll rot your brain if you choose to "vibe code".
