Brace yourselves, because this is only going to get worse with the current “vibe coding” trend.
Can you ELI5?
Vibe coding is the current trend of having an LLM build your codebase for you then shipping it without attempting to understand the codebase.
Most developers are using LLMS to some extent to speed up their coding, as cursor and Claude are really good at removing toil. But vibe coders have the LLM build the entire thing and don’t even know how it works.
Thanks. What is an LLM?
Basically, think ChatGPT
Large language models (LLM) are the product of neural networks, a relatively recent innovation in the field of computer intelligence.
Since these systems are surprisingly adept at producing natural sounding language, and is good at create answers that sound correct (and sometimes actually happen to be) marketers have seized on this as an innovation, called it AI (a term with a complicated history), and have started slapping it onto every product.
Neural networks have been around for quite some time. The simplest forms of it have actually existed since around 1795.
Ahhhhhh… that’s a really simple explanation thanks
Large Language Model
To the extent of my understanding, it is a form of slightly more sophisticated bot, as in an automated response algorithm, that is developed over a set of data, in order to have it “understand” the mechanics that make such set cohesive to us humans.
With such background, it is supposed to produce new similar outputs if given new raw data sets to run through the mechanics it acquired during development.
Clever, thanks 😊
A machine learning model that can generate text.
It works by converting pieces of text to “tokens” which are mapped to numbers in a way that reflects their association with other pieces of text. The model is fed input tokens and predicts tokens based on that, which are then converted to text.
In other words, vibe coders are today’s technologically accelerated script kiddie.
That’s arguably worse as the produced scripts may largely work and come with even less demand for understanding than a script kid’s cobbling together of code may have demanded.
100% accurate.
So we are moving away from >1GB node_modules finally? Or is it too soon?
Its going to be 1GB node_modules handled by garbage ai code
ai is only good at doing smaller scripts but loosing connections and understandment in larger codebases, combined with people who cant program well (i mean not only coding but debugging… as well) also called vibe programmers its going to be a mess
if a product claims it has vibecoding: find an alternative!
