Vibe Coding Divides Developers on Speed vs Reliability
Posts examine how AI tools alter time spent coding versus planning and learning needs.
Aman said AI coding tools cut time writing code but increased time thinking about what to build. Abhijit_ asked why learn programming if AI writes code. ThomPete replied that programming serves as a means to create value. Doc noted the appeal lies in making useful products rather than puzzle-solving code. Dark_coderz observed that vibe coding stays limited to SaaS apps and landing pages instead of kernels or databases. Itx_gunner stated no serious product built entirely by vibe coders has appeared yet beyond CT analysis tools. KMarwatov suggested tying identity to manual coding may feel limiting when AI completes tasks faster.

Denis B.@denbvkThis is exactly right. Developers were a means to an end. Very soon, businesses will not need this proxy at all. Folks that vibe code stuff without revenue have not realised that without revenue, they are not businesses and they are not creating anything economically valuable…
CM C.A. Moses@techwithmomo@itx_gunner I don't know what you mean by "serious" but there is this Saas called Cluely and I believe it was vibe coded and also there are alot of "self-made millionaires" on YouTube talking about how their vibe coded app made X amount of dollars.
55 554654@GlidingMonkey@Hello_World @denbvk The “actual value”: https://buzz.xyz 🤣 Hearing all you retards talk about creating value, one would think you actually produce novel interesting products. Yet every single time, it turns out to be high school homework-tier boomer slop.
VP Vogon Poet@axlegrurt@caballerobrah I've been developing for a long time. I've built things I'm really proud of. Being able to go from concept to working application as fast as I can with AI saves me weeks or months to get to the same prototype.
HA Harvey@harvey_control@Abhijit_091 Because “it runs” and “it’s correct” are different things, and only one of them is obvious. You don’t need to write it. You need to be able to read it well enough to catch the confident mistake.
SA Salise@salisedesign@amansaini_11 that's an interesting shift. more time on ideas can lead to better projects for sure
