🚀 Vibe coding be like:
👉 First 30 mins: "I don’t fully get what’s happening here…" 🤔
👉 Next hour: magically works 💻✨
👉 Then: you try one tiny change → AI confused → you confused → now you are reverse engineering your own code 😅
But for real… AI is doing A LOT right now. The tricky part is knowing where to draw the line, discipline is the only guardrail. Sometimes you don’t even notice when you’ve crossed it.

Yeah, and after a few months you get exactly the results that you want with it and realize, that you could easily replace the person you were a few months ago indeed.

Remember, the future belongs to those who can work with AI, not against it.

@retoor how does working against AI look like? 🙃

For sure, then you learn how to better manage it and get it to do only specific things

@Lensflare well, you're at the right platform to get answers to that :P

Btw, what are you doing online? You have things to do: watch Harry Potter! After that, throw your TV in trash, you've watched all. Do not spend time for the right place to trash the TV, recycling is corrupt most of the time.

Work with: add a class with these fields.... now store in db. add db migration file. now wrap it with a crud... add security. now add tests.

Work against: please extract this string to a const, and replace all uses of it with new const... what the fuck? where did 500 lines of code go? why does the stupid ass thing refactoring other code? stop stop stop! 🤬

> add security

It doesn’t work like that. It’s like saying "add walls" to a house.

Security has to be a fundamental part, not an addon.

@retoor Started using AI because everyone made it sound like I was dumb without it. At first, it felt amazing move fast, break things faster. But then reality hit: prod feels like dev, I don’t even “own” my code until it breaks, and I burn more brainpower untangling what AI wrote.

And yes, I know what you’re going to say: “Just break things step by step” 😂 I’ll save my reply for when you actually ask.

The worst part? Expectations. Managers now assume AI = instant speed + perfect quality. Ask for more time? “But you’re using AI, no excuses.” 😤 That’s the future I hate.

@magicMirror Tried writing a feature with Cursor. I was so focused on results I didn’t even check the code. It worked 🎉 …but I forgot to accept the changes. Then I asked it to do something else it broke the first part.

Asked it to reverse, that was the beginning of my problems. 😂

Luckily it was just a proof of concept, so I kept vibing and let chaos reign. 💻✨

@Lensflare agreed.
But for the same of the story:
"add security" is better then "hook the new endpoints into the audit and application level JWT frameworks, then add the rbac mixin to data model"

@solex I started to do "wip" and "mid work" commits to local git because of this fuckery.

500 lines of some complicated scenario test code... poof. gone.

Never again.
