One of my coworkers was excited to tell me about the vibe coding workshop he did over the summer. He's not a programmer much at all, and I think he just... enjoyed programming. I tried to hide the deep horror from my face but I don't know if it worked.

I think he did learn some things but I am not convinced it had anything to do with having an LLM giving him code to fix and modify instead of simply copying and pasting bits of code from message boards as we did in olden times.

@futurebird "It still says syntax error."

I live in dread for the day when my husband will come home and tell me how he's been vibe coding at work with all of the bad influences in his office.

I need to have a talk with him. You know what they say:

"If you don't talk to your husband about vibe coding he will learn about it at the office!"

@futurebird I know a programmer (highly experienced, runs a consultancy, very capable) who surprised me by being pro LLM. He said it's getting sophisticated enough that it's becoming a labor saving tool for programming. I am not a dev, although I understand LLM pros and cons very well in writing and graphic design, so don't have the knowledge to have an informed opinion. What are your thoughts?

@independentpen

I'm an educator so it's not really helping me much. I work with examples that I understand inside and out. Easier to write them myself or take them from a book.

@futurebird Do you teach CS?
