Can someone recommended some source for vibe coding eg. how to prompt it properly, what tools to use? Does someone have any experience on anything other than small projects from scratch?
I watched Ronacher's demo from yesterday, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQYXZCUvpIc, and this is it, a well-regarded engineer working on a serious open source project. There's no wizard behind the curtain, it's the thing I've been asking the promoters for.
And you should make your own judgment, but I'm just not impressed.
It seems to me the machine takes longer, creates a plan that "is shit," and then has to be fixed by a person who has a perfect understanding of the problem.
I'm loving LLMs as research tools, pulling details out of bad documentation, fixing my types and dumb SQL syntax errors, and searching my own codebase in natural language.
But if I have to do all the reasoning myself no matter what, setting a robot free to make linguistically probable changes really feels like a net negative.
Given the hype and repercussions of success or failure of what LLMs can hypothetically do, I feel like the only way forward for reasonable understanding of the situation is for people to post live streams of what they're raving about.
Or at the very least source links with version control history.
People working on existing projects in turn are scratching their heads because it's just not quite working or providing much of a productivity boost. I belong to this camp.
