Oh my goooooooooood vibe coding is sooo bad
Holy fucking shit I'm actually losing my mind
Cursor is nothing but a glorified slop generator. It just fucking yaps and yaps and it generates shit upon shit. Yet NOTHING works properly
It all looks impressive but its all a shallow house of cards of bullshit
To be fair, I'm trying to make it write a simple compiler with an x86 JIT backend. Absolutely not a simple task, but come oonnnnnnn. It just goes in circles, over and over and over
It's exactly as I imagined. Just like ChatGPT, if it failed 2 times, it will never recover and you should just start a new conversation to clear the poisoned context. For a half hour I've been trying to get to compile a program which prints hello world. It just can't do it. No matter what, the compiled program just always returns 42 and nothing else (or segfaults)
It's just fucking AI slop. It LOOKS impressive until you actually go a bit deeper and you realize its all vapid bullshit14 -
How certain can we be, that AI Code Assistants or the companies behind them are "stealing" our proprietary code?10

What really is Vibecoding? Like where do we draw the line?
My general take is: vibe code is when someone without any knowledge produces code with AI without looking at the code.
But I have done that myself with small things, landing pages, throw away programs.
Can you be a vibe coder in one language and not in another language?
What if I know what the code does, but I'm not fluent on its syntax?
Let's say I write a C program myself, and ask AI to rebuild it in Go, will I be a C Coder, but a Go VibeCoder?25
