Forgive me I am just digesting the term "vibe coding," which doesn't seem like coding at all? It's just typing into your AI's text prompt and describing it to do xyz and then keep making edits til the AI has a working prototype for what you seek. Is that a correct assumption?

Karpathy's original tweet defining "vibe coding":

So it's not coding ... it's talking to a LLM via voice or chat and have it code for you. Then ask it to change/edit things and then review the code some or just run an error check so the LLM fixes the error and your done.

And so people who are vibe coding are getting paid multiple six figure salaries .... that's not sustainable anyone at any age and in any country can vibe code.

Looks like we are embracing the demise of our skill-sets, careers and livelihoods quickly!

Are people who have no other programming skills really landing well paid jobs with this? I would like to imagine that as a step towards an Iain M Banks future but realistically I'm more likely to see you all at the Skynet work camp.

Well yes now you are up to speed on current developments.

Do not fear, there will be new jobs available from AI.

[jimbokun]

And AI will do those too.

[paul7986]

Indeed it will DOGE all those jobs too
