Cool idea but man I won’t be touching that with a ten foot pole.
Isn’t it obvious?
I vibe coded once and after I saw the generated code, I will not let anything like that on my home network.
For the record, not all agentic coding is "vibe coding". It is possible to do real engineering with an LLM.
In the same way the advent of the compiler helped us go from high-level human-readable formal language to low-level machine-readable formal language, an LLM helps us go from high-level natural language to high-level human-readable formal language. The distinction between vibing and engineering is how much intention you have about what the tool spits out the other side.
Vibing says "all I have is an input, I don't know what the output should be, so I'm not even going to look at it". Engineering says "I have an intended output in my head, and I'm using whatever tool will reliably create my intention the fastest".
