I've been late to the party and only truly tried vibe coding for the first time this week. I've used AI for coding before, but mostly for asking utility code snippets and solutions to third-party library bugs. It's not all that different from the questions I used to ask on Stack Overflow, except that I get instantaneous answers (and minus the occasional condescending replies).
I thought I would hate it and that it would take the joy out of programming for me. But it didn't. In fact, I like that it can quickly create apps that I have in my head without having to spend the time actually coding them (because who has that much time nowadays?).
And I think because web CRUD apps are basically a solved problem. We already know what is being done behind the scenes. We've done them in multiple projects many times before. Even before AI came into the picture, we already had solutions to maybe 80% of the CRUD logic/ui we'd ever need to create. We have boilerplates/utility libraries for everything.
I am speaking specifically in terms of using it in the coding domain I'm familiar with (web dev) and as a senior who's been around for more than a decade. I don't feel like vibe coding is robbing me off anything. Maybe if I dabble in other types of programming (e.g. making games, learning other programming languages, etc.), then I may feel differently, or I may feel like I'm cheating by not knowing what's actually happening.
Anyone who feels the same way?
