Vibe Coding Divides Developers in AI Software Shift
Social media posts show split opinions on using casual prompts for coding.
TLDR
Developers posted on X about vibe coding, describing it as using plain English prompts with AI to generate code. Brian Cheong said prototypes work in enterprises but production needs tests and accountability. Alex Turnbull stated there is no chance of vibe coding mid-market or enterprise software. Rachita called vibe coding projects a hobby for fun and learning. Sahil said once started there is no going back. Rubens Soto noted that vibe coding an app does not make someone a software engineer. Other posts compared explanations to managers versus engineers and questioned its use in degrees or with languages like Java.

Anupam Haldkar ο£Ώ@AnupamHaldkar@GohilHardy Vibe coding crushes the happy path in web/apps because the loop is visual and reversible. The second you need auth, concurrency, data integrity, or a 6-month-old codebase, it becomes a prototype tool, not an engineering method.
πL πLulaSmut@LulaSmut@SoftEngineer @cybereality reddit, also bunch of entitled retards there. have see a 'nsfw games', I was never posting there before but, I've see recently they ban all games that use ai, even for voices. Use ai for voices, music... Banned...
AV Aditya Vyas@Adiiizi@sahill_og If you are a real dev, you would hate it after a few hours/days. Would you be comfortable with having unnecessary/slopy code pulling down your efficiency in terms of speed & memory? I would hate that as a user/dev.

BC Brian Cheong@briancheong@rubenssoto_ai It makes you someone who can ship a prototype. Engineering starts when the constraints show up and the thing still has to work next month.
SB Synthetic Beef@SyntheticBeef@rubenssoto_ai Play with words all you want. The only thing that matters is if you SHIP software other people want to use.
