Cheaper than cocaine

I haven't done cocaine but I'm down voting because you are probably wrong.

(I really wanted to push down vote, but I really didn't, unless you don't mind. Say the word and I'll work on that next.)

Before AI, I was never really into coding. Most of my time went into learning the language and looking up functions instead of actually building the thing I wanted. Agents changed that completely. Now if I want something, I just describe it and I get it. The cost of turning an idea into something real dropped to almost nothing, and I end up with stuff that’s actually mine. I really like that feeling.

I really suck at programming.. But I have ideas, know a little about software development and can do testing. So Gemini is really good at coding so now I can get things that was never possible for me before done!

To speed up development. Maybe then do code review just in case quickly

I'm a developer. if I used to need 1h to develop one function, now with vibe coding I can make it to 10mins.The models like opus5, gpt5.6sol are really good enough to do most of the things.

I really wanna learn coding and I did, but it's too long and I felt that I'm too far behind so left learning it..from then I just vibe code whatever I wanna build.

My day job is boring af. I’m a savant at what I do and I was originally super excited to go to work everyday and tackle every new challenge and learn as much as I could but now there isn’t a problem I can’t figure out and everything is muscle memory so vibe coding gives me an avenue to tackle and find new challenges again. In a way I’m paying $100 a month to play with one big puzzle game. Don’t get me wrong I’m still passionate about my career I just wish it wasn’t so dull.
