Overall, I'm anti-"vibe coding" because new coders don't always know enough to see the logical fallacies, security vulnerabilities, etc. It's not usually a big deal if you're just making a simple desktop app but it can have huge implications for software that is open to the internet, has an expectation of properly handling user data, and needs to compatibly interoperate with other servers. Also, the energy and theft problems inherent to all "AI" use.

But I think we should be pragmatic. "Vibe coding" not going anywhere, so doing what we can to help keep everyone as safe as we can while stopping poorly understood code from DDOSing across the fediverse is the more mature path.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't discourage "vibe code" or at least encourage gaining education and/or experience before relying on it, though.
