@reiver #LLM use is antithetical to the principles of freedom of Internet, so dear to the #fediverse

They're tools of control, by large corporations, which use their revenue and influence to erode democracy, concentrate wealth, take power away from people. Exactly the opposite of what fediverse stands for.

"Vibe coding" is an insult to any and everyone who dedicated effort, time to learn to code.

@reiver and, I would like to add, who they're politically supporting with that money

@uwehalfhand@norcal.social I feel we're conflating vibe coding with plain AI usage as an assistant.

There's absolutely no pedagogical value to vibe coding.

@julian I can say as someone who has learned quite a lot about a bunch of super technical topics from doing some exploration of vibe coding that I completely disagree with this sentiment. I think the companies and ways the AI industry is operating is horrid and abysmal but those two things shouldn't be conflated.

@liaizon@social.wake.st what do you define vibe coding as?

Vibe coding is prompting, followed by copy-paste, and then re-prompting with the error message, repeat.

In no step there is any critical thinking.

If you are inspecting the generated code, applying it judiciously, and asking questions back to further understand the decisions made, you are not vibe coding.
