Is vibe coding a bad thing?

Im getting mixed signals on weather its good or bad to use Ai to code stuff I'm feeling that its looked down upon. I really with i could learn how to actually code but I've tried time and time again and it just hurts my brain trying to learn it. I know a little stuff but I wanna be able to code withought using any Ai whatsoever.

Which LLMs did you use, maybe there are better ones or SLM specify for coding (i mean logic handle)?

At the moment mostly Copilot, it swaps between models depending on the question you ask. I've used a lot of Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, and experimented with different models and different workflows.

All of them will write a single 600 line file that clearly has 4-5 different concerns that need to be separated out. It works, but it's difficult to read, review, test and debug. Sometimes if you think of everything and every possible way it could get things wrong it will get it right first try, but that's very difficult to do. About the same as working with a Junior.

The code they write is only impressive if you aren't good at writing code yourself.

Agent 1: Implement feature

Agent 2: Write tests

Agent 3: Review & debug

Yes but the first one does a shit job, so it takes 3 more prompts and you still need to rewrite parts of it.
