How’s them vibes?

(Almost like it’s good to know what you’re doing when you do something.)

Via @stefan (Web Weekly newsletter #155 – stefanjudis.com/blog/web-weekl)

Screenshot of two social media posts with arrow from first to second titled “Vibe Coding”: First post: saas was built with Cursor, zero hand written code Al is no longer just an assistant, it's also the builder Now, you can continue to whine about it or start building. P.S. Yes, people pay for it 4:34 am • 15 Mar 2025 • 52.2K Views Second post: guys, i'm under attack ever since I started to share how I built my SaaS using Cursor random thing are happening, maxed out usage on api keys, people bypassing the subscription, creating random shit on db as you know, I'm not technical so this is taking me longer that usual to figure out for now, I will stop sharing what I do publicly on X there are just some weird ppl out there 9:04 am • 17 Mar 2025 • 53.6K Views

@gettie @stefan Letting AI write shit for you and putting it into production when you don’t know how to code.

@aral oh... i see. So if i modify bullshit(1) in a 9front installation to write code for me, that's vibe coding.

@aral i see... i know i suck at coding, but i wouldn't let any bullshit generator (bullshit(1) from 9front doesn't count as one) write code for me

@aral As my friends over crankysec.com say...

Screenshot from a crankysec.com article. It reads: The good news here is that the absolute majority of "code" or "products" being vomited by dumb people using code auto-complete is irrelevant. Nothing of consequence is being done this way. So far. I wouldn't count on some idiot executive of a stupid—yet critical—enterprise to listen to some stupid and evil McKinsey management consultant and say "I don't think that's a good idea." Mainly because the whole point of giving McKinsey millions of dollars in the first place is to let them do the thinking for you.

@aral @stefan

"weird ppl out there" please "I'm not technical" stop doing technical things so I would be able to share what a paid AI does for me and give you lessons about how to build without pressing a key. 😂 😂 😆 🤦‍♀️
This guy has a promising tech bro career.

@aral @stefan I am okay with AI being an assistant and nothing more. Building is my job or I could hire a human.

@aral @stefan "Garbage In, Garbage Out."

Those glorified auto-completers were trained in all kinds of garbage code stollen from public repos hosted on Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc. When the ratio of good code to bad code is close to 90% (Sturgeons Law), no wonder the spew awfull, insecure code.

Those plagiarism machines don't have the reasoning abilities we do, they just produce code based on what's more likely to fit the prompt. That's it.

@aral @stefan hahahaha Well earned. God I hope this keeps happening.

Thing is, it was always happening, people just weren't announcing their plagiarism. There are so many people who have no clue what they are doing and are just solving shit using StackExchange* or whatever instead of actually learning their trade properly.

*(A little bit is fine, but please know what the fuck you're doing.)
