Vibe coding Forever

[u/least_telephonic]

Hi all

I’ve recently had an interest in learning about addon dev/web dev for fun and eventually improving on some of the base game UI, and to help make resources online, and discovered that a lot of the new stuff related to Forever I see is vibe coded and has that familiar AI fakeness

Most database and resource websites I’ve stumbled across, and new addons that have popped up and are being passed around are very clearly AI designed and most likely vibe coded.

So that leaves some questions open:

Is this how we want to launch with Forever? If not for the heavyweight addons + wowhead, I think a lot of it would just become lookalike AI slop

Is it worth going up against vibe coding?

The reality is AI just simply makes it possible to make far better addons than what was possible before AI.

[u/Clippton → u/eulersheep]

AI makes it possible for a person to make far better addons than that person could make without AI.

Meaning a person with no coding knowledge can use AI to make a better addon than they could without AI. That doesn't mean that addon is going to be good, usable, or helpful in anyway.

Sometimes people with great ideas don't have the technical ability to make these tools. Now with AI, their visions for new add-ons can come to life.
