I think this reinforces that “vibecoding” is silly and won’t survive. It still needed immensely skilled programmers to work with it and check its output, and fix several bugs it refused to fix.

Like anything else it will be a tool to speed up a task, but never do the task on its own without supervision or someone who can already do the task themselves, since at a minimum they have to already understand how the service is to work. You might be able to get by to make things like a basic website, but tools have existed to autogenerate stuff like that for a decade.

I don't think it does. Vibecoding is currently best suited for low-stakes stuff. Get a gui up, crud stuff, write an app for a silly one time use, etc. There's a ton of usage there. And it's putting that power in the hands of people that didn't have the capabilities before.

This isn't vibecoding. This is LLM-assisted coding.

I get the sense that "vibecoding" is used like a strawman these days, something people keep moving the goal posts on so they can keep saying it's silly. Getting an LLM to write code for you that mostly works with some tweaks is vibe coding, isn't it?

No. Vibe coding is never even looking at the code and using the LLM as the only interface.
