> Like OK someone vibecoded an FPS in COBOL or Pokémon emerald in a web browser with web assembly? Ok good for them, piss off karma farmer.
replySorry, but most of these discussions reek of extreme gatekeeping. First off, neither of these things are impossibly difficult and are easily doable with some dedication by hand. LLMs simply accelerate the process, the human still has to come up with the architecture, _idea_ and plan to do something like this.
It's only cool if it's in written in brainfuck via pencil and paper.
replyBonus points if it's ink on paper.
Bonus points if ink and paper are hand crafted by the creator rather than the filthy casuals that rely on paper mills to make their paper for them.
Made me laugh. Thanks :)
replyI think what we’re seeing play out in this thread is the devaluation of software engineers. If a growing number of people have the sentiment that an engineer vibecoding an idea has less value than a human doing it then that is all that will matter in the end.
replyThat’s the inevitable result of machines being invented that can largely do our jobs. Just like how artisanal products are often prized over factory productions. The effort put in to and the organic quality of products have pretty much always been of value to consumers and appraisers. “I clicked a few buttons and look what the machine produced” will never be as impressive.
