Not all coding is interesting, I would say the majority of it is a chore.

One shotting small utilities that I have no interest in writing (for me, front-end JS, chrome extensions, web scraping selectors) is wonderful. I just vibe coded a "crop a pdf" web UI and it worked with no intervention. It doesn't have to be meaningful, just useful.

Yeah, it's very convenient to ask an LLM to generate e.g. a "Hello World" browser extension and then to gradually fill it with logic. Searching for tutorials gets you outdated resources, poorly written ones and obscure failures.

Then again, I asked ChatGPT moons ago to generate a Filebeat config file, and its output contained syntax errors...
