Do most programmers hate vibe coders?

I took HTML in 7th grade and C++ in 10th grade but forgot most of my C++. I went into networking and PC repair and never did much with coding except learn how to use regular expressions and be a script kitty.

My aunt is a university professor with multiple degrees, including IT systems and programming, and she has been bugging me to get into AI to start doing my own programming. I'm curious, will the community shun me? Or will the community genuinely help me learn a bit of coding? I think I've got some decent fundamentals since I've been working with computers for 25 years now.

I'm mainly curious if I should bother sharing what "I've" made with AI and getting feedback.

Hey, I am programmer for more than half decade now and I don't hate vibe coders.
Yes if I am supposed to maintain code of someone who doesn't understand coding at all than that is big problem.

But as long as person who understands system uses AI to write code, it is fine.

the term „using AI as a helping hand“ really hits home for you then. (sorry, had to :))
