I did not just vibe-code “convert test suite to python”. I’m a software engineer with 40 years experience (yeah, I’m OLD!), so I did a design first and had a plan for how to validate it. I used AI tools to do the grunt work because they are good at that. I reviewed every part of it myself and ran through a huge amount of CI time getting it right (I’m since moved to having a bunch of local VMs to do most testing to reduce the CI wait time).

"I did not just vibe code", proceeds to explain how he vibe coded it. What a joke.

I especially loved the part where he argued he was too old to be vibe coding. Guess it's supposed to be called vibration writing if you're over 50?

He reviewed all the code generated by AI to make sure it was good. That is not vibe coding.

Apparently not reviewed well enough.

Read the article. He fucked something up without AI's help.

[-] Asetru@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Because of course he did and the AI is absolutely not to blame.

Yeah, but I wonder if he would have paid more attention to existing use cases if he wrote it all himself. Probably not, but I feel like it's possible.
