Just tried vibe coding. I'm not sure how people do this...

It was like fighting against an adversary who was trying to actively harm a project. About 80% of the things I asked it to do, it did something else instead, and often more harmful.

It wanted to force push it's feature branch onto master because it got an error trying to push to master, because it's on a feature branch.

Wtf

Prompting very detailed to the point it's only a source writer. Also, if you have a subject, use perplexity to describe based on internet content what you want to make. It will give big detailed documents which are great for vibing. Also, give examples to it. Repository, you do better yourself faster anyway.

I'm guessing this perfectly mirrors your experience: https://youtube.com/shorts/... .

Found it purely by chance. Just popped up in the feed.

They asked me to do this at my previous company and instead of delivering great work, I lost 4 days constantly battling the results.

I'm convinced now that pure vibe coding is sole for the fun of seeing the frontend appear.

I vibecoded some stuff and every I saw the code going sideways and kept going it became just a trainwreck

my hot take here is using GenAI for coding is a skill on itself

I know right!

It's a constant battle to steer it into the right direction without it going off and doing weird shit

I can see why people like it, but oh buddy is it not for me
