The term 'vibe coding' I think was originally about generating and using code without understanding it
Well, I have used LLM to do code for in house type stuff. Very simple. In that scenario, it's fairly good. I've found that LLM are good at compose files for instance. But that's much different than producing a piece of software for thousands of people to use with confidence. Especially when dealing with anything 'arr and the mitigation that takes place to operate that in a secure, private, and anonymous manner.
Yeah doesn’t sound like vibe coding if you actually go through the necessary dances anyway, i.e double-check the produced code and validate it and actually understand it and the domain.
Edit: But almost nobody does. Because then you’d rather just write it yourself and save time, money and energy…
