I have no idea what vibe coding is, can someone ELI5 it to me?
I have tried AI to get some rough C# for my hobby game but even that was unusable.
Vibe coding is basically having no idea about coding and using the AI to make snippets of Code for you
Like if you want to programm snake, you would prompt it:
- Tell me what parts of code are required to programm snake in python
then it would tell you like:
- you need a programm to make a grid system
- you need an array which can go down a tickrate
- etc pp
so you tell it like:
- Generate me code, that does xy
- Generate me code that takes the input of xy and does z with it
and so forth, then you just paste everything into a txt and ask the AI to debug it for you and hope it works
The people who need vibe coding shouldn’t be using it. And the people who can use it, don’t need it.
Idk about the last bit. I've done some vibe
codingdebugging to fix game mods written in languages and frameworks I don't know and have no interest in learning at the moment. I still look over the output, but given a lack of knowledge, I'd still consider it vibe basedI don't have the bandwidth to know enough about everything I encounter to be passable, and sometimes I just want to make some random thing work with the minimal amount of effort so I can get back to the actual task at hand.
This sounds terrible, lol! Are there any examples that can be pointed to? I'd love to see one of these constructs.
On tilvids.com some dude called picopixl is doing tutorials about this

And yeah, its pretty great what it could do, but for someone who (is his own words) can tweak the code so it works, it tool longer to make a Prompt than just coding the Game yourself
Also, Tetris in JS is like Babys first JS project, so even if you really wanted to just get Tetris from somewhere, you could have just git pulled any github project
‘Vibe coding’ is where you code only with prompts and never look at the generated code.
Seems like a great way to create insecure unmaintainable code if you ask me.
Also I just dont get why you would ever generate code
Like, you have no idea how to code something? Sure, just ask it about methods how to do it. But generating code too? Cant you RTFM?
I think you're severely underestimating how lazy some people are, lol. I totally get what you're saying, and from a logical perspective it makes sense. It's just that if you survey enough people, i really think you'd be surprised at how little effort some are willing to put forth for just about anything
