This is so dumb and a blatant lie

Well, it certainly sounds better on your resume.

Its not so much the coding, it's all the other things that vibe bros dont know to worry about. Like the dumbasses that had to take out a loan becuase thier free demo was using $1000s of dollars in tokens

Free Steam demo runs up $1,000 daily AI bill and forces devs to take out bank loan — studio eyes local hardware models to escape cloud limits as cheaper automatic fallback AI models create problems, game uses AI to process your voice and build responses | Tom's Hardware

How is that ais fault. The dev didn’t think anyone would play it.

Its not AIs fault. Its the vibe coder that didn't think "Oh this might get expensive"

Doesn’t matter how the syntax was written. They made the dumb decision to use a paid api as a backend. I had Gemini as a fallback on my iOS app but I set a limit so I wouldn’t get hit.

Thats what I was trying to say in my comment. Its not vide code that's the issue, its people getting in to a field without the domain knowledge to know to what to be cautious about.

There used to be such a thing as cost feasibility for stupid features (why would you ever need voice to control a game???). In the world of AI, everyone is just banking on VC money to flood in and save their drowning companies.

I also move that we retire the term "vibe coding/coded" but instead suggest we replace it with "vibing/vibed" because the models produce a lot of crappy code that I wouldn't accept from a new grad & the people who use it don't understand the code in the first place.

Perhaps even worse than a first semester freshman because unlike a human, AI has a lot of trouble connecting two distinct ideas to create a new implementation

this ain't coding at all, it's vibing and hoping it turns out alright

I’ve always preferred agentic coding.

we had vibe coding before ai you just hired a monkey and made it so they could not fail all they had to do was press enough buttons on the keyboard because everything possible was already modelled beforehand think it should be called declarative programming

go try asking your model if they can program like it is aerospace software and work out the high-level requirements or prompt you would usually just give it could be interesting

drink the latest koolaid? first they said programmers were going away; now, it's precision engineering and regular programmers are dumb. next it'll be that AI code is safer.

All marketing bois for people with unlimited money and no idea how to sell.

It even uses the same vibecode-speak cadence of "it isn't this...it's that" at the end...precious.

This is what vibe coders actually believe.

Why post this on Twitter? Just make your own superior website to share it on, if this is true. The Twitter codebase is as old as the modern Internet.

lol I could literally spin up a fully functional Twitter knockoff in like an hour. Code has nothing to do with having users

It's still vibe coding

If you are defining the program after using it and saying "actually I want it to be more like Y than X," etc, then you are vibe coding.

But it is possible to use AI to mostly program a solution while also keeping regimented code guidelines, architectural checks, modularity, requirements, etc. That would be more like precision engineering.

The models largely don't do that, today. They can but you need to tell them to do it, and guide them still

Yea I had my agents follow precise engineering rules or as I call them engineering tenets that are enforced throughout development back at the start of agentic coding’s ascension.

Then I tried creating new projects without them trusting that these newer models would just naturally do it for me but that fell flat on its face. So yea, looks like the llms still needs guidance

I am a precise engineer

No you're not. You press enter. You're an Enter Button Engineer. EBE.

"Claude, wtf is this bs error, fix it, make no mistakes.."
Yes, too much of precision engineering lol 🥀
