I believe in it, I just feel like I'm bad at it 🫠🙃

Consider me triggered

Says the guy who constantly feels the need to defend it

This is one of those topics where the good and bad of it is contextual. A balanced approach is possible. It doesn't really need to be one way or the other absolutely. Many things are like that though.

So..serious question: what's vibe coding anyway? 🤷‍♂️

I’m working on something that makes me believe in vibe coding more than ever I think you’ll like it

I'm not insecure about vibe coding. I don't code. I think that most people that talk about vibe coding are egotistical yutzes with no endurance. You're an exception.

As a senior dev with 13 years or so of professional experience and I started learning php back in 2005 my main concern is that it will make me dumb overtime. But then if the tool doesn't go away does it matter? I think that feeling is the same as a farmer saying a tractor will make him a worse farmer years ago. I just vibe coded hard last week and I did probably 40 hours of work in 10. I was able to get a lot of the core functionality working in Laravel with me personally writing very little code. I think being experienced and knowing what I'm doing I was able to prompt the right things to architect it right but without that it probably would be a mess to maintain. For now I've decided I will just actually read what it does and why and hope that keeps my skills up but I'm not sure I want to code without it anymore at least on a day to day level. In the past couple weeks I also was able to create 3 different TUI tools written in Go a language I don't really know which would not have been possible without vibe coding.
