    Vibe coding is basically having no idea about coding and using the AI to make snippets of Code for you

    Like if you want to programm snake, you would prompt it:

    • Tell me what parts of code are required to programm snake in python

    then it would tell you like:

    1. you need a programm to make a grid system
    2. you need an array which can go down a tickrate
    3. etc pp

    so you tell it like:

    • Generate me code, that does xy
    • Generate me code that takes the input of xy and does z with it

    and so forth, then you just paste everything into a txt and ask the AI to debug it for you and hope it works

      The people who need vibe coding shouldn’t be using it. And the people who can use it, don’t need it.

        Idk about the last bit. I’ve done some vibe coding debugging to fix game mods written in languages and frameworks I don’t know and have no interest in learning at the moment. I still look over the output, but given a lack of knowledge, I’d still consider it vibe based

        I don’t have the bandwidth to know enough about everything I encounter to be passable, and sometimes I just want to make some random thing work with the minimal amount of effort so I can get back to the actual task at hand.

      This sounds terrible, lol! Are there any examples that can be pointed to? I’d love to see one of these constructs.

        On tilvids.com some dude called picopixl is doing tutorials about this

        https://tilvids.com/w/oyddhsnfHUFToBEmpEZpEg

        And yeah, its pretty great what it could do, but for someone who (is his own words) can tweak the code so it works, it tool longer to make a Prompt than just coding the Game yourself

        Also, Tetris in JS is like Babys first JS project, so even if you really wanted to just get Tetris from somewhere, you could have just git pulled any github project
