Vibe coding: 2025s worst idea?

Actually, i'm vibe coding for B4R latest months.
Maybe better idea is to switch to Arduino directly, but ... good habit is always habit
So, in short i can state that, in whole, no big difference between Deepseek, Qwen and the godness ChatGPT. Just speed and talkativeness.
They all know B4R not so good like needed for me.
But after long reiterating prompting - it's possible to make the code that you know yourself superficially (C++).

I'm watching that video.

After the introduction about "Vibe coding," that guy tells us we're wrong to think that being a good programmer depends on knowing and being good at using one or more languages and frameworks, because the difficulty isn't in the complexity of a programming language.

Really? He's discovered hot water! This is why there have always been at least two very distinct professional roles: the programmer and the programming ANALYST.

the programmer and the programming ANALYST.

Exactly ! If you are able to edit the source code understanding it as a programmer for 5%, but requesting some supplier (knowing the language for 100.0%) for the updating the source code according to your analyzed need - you act as a architect or analyst.

And i mean that for B4R latest weeks i was in both these roles. And successfully at final. It's possible, but It's very exhausting. For more well known language it should be much easy.

Tony Stark:
[After seeing the gold 3-D render of his suit] A little ostentatious, don't you think?

JARVIS:
[dripping with sarcasm] What was I thinking? You're usually so discreet.

Stark:
Tell you what. Throw a little hot-rod red in there.

JARVIS:
Oh yes. That should help you keep a low profile. [seconds later] The render is complete.

Stark:
[upon seeing the new render] Hey, I like it. Fabricate it, paint it.

JARVIS:
Beginning automated assembly. Estimated completion time is five hours.

Stark:
Don't wait up for me, honey.

Last month, there are a lot of videos on youtube talking about using chatgpt will make you dumb according to MIT study.

Are you sure you are vibe coding for B4R?
That's too risky that you may burn some chips.

 

[peacemaker]

too risky

But i hope that i'm a programmer not for 5%, but for maybe even 10, and understand a bit what i'm compiling.

In my opinion, vibe coding is not suitable for B4R. Vibe coders dont examine the code and just run it by trial and error. Brute force until it works what you expected. It's fine for web app or front end.

Last week someone told me he is 50-50 and call it hybrid coding. I asked him is it possible?

If you are examining and editting the code, you dont vibe coding. You are getting AI assisted.
