"Vibe coding" is maybe the most depressing concept to enter the programming taxonomy this year.

"Vibe coding" is maybe the most depressing concept to enter the programming taxonomy this year.
Then again it's only March.
@randomgeek@hackers.town the rise of "vibe coding" makes me depressed for the next generation of developers, but for what it's worth, the last generation said we were spoiled because we had search engines and Stack Overflow, and weren't relegated to just using manpages.
-
@julian my preferred pairing has always been official docs (as opposed to man pages) and search engines (back when they worked).
As a general habit I avoid Stack Overflow. Seeing that someone had a solution would trick me into thinking it was a solution to my problem, and then of course also getting distracted by folks complaining about how the question was asked.

@randomgeek@hackers.town I remember graybeards saying editor autocomplete was ruining us.
Look at "us" now
-
@julian ok this is awkward but I also avoid autocomplete in the editor. Getting it wrong reinforces my learning. Repeatedly getting it wrong suggests bad API & maybe a wrapper is needed.
Larry Wall once said something to the effect of “IDEs are nice but I’d rather learn the language.”
