alt Hacker NewsThe hardest part of coding has never been coding. It's been translating new business requirements into a specific implementation plan that works. Understanding what needs to be done, how things are currently working, and how to go from A to B.
You can't dispense with yourself in those scenarios. You have to read, think, investigate, break things down into smaller problems. But I employ LLM's to help with that all the time.
Granted, that's not vibe coding at all. So I guess we are pretty much in agreement up to this point. Except I still think LLMs speed up this process significantly, and the models and tools are only going to get better.
Also, there are a lot of developers that are just handed the implementation plan.
vibe coding applies to very few people in this thread. almost all the people here are talking about using LLMs to do something they could do anyway, to save time, or getting the LLM to teach them how to code something. this is not vibe coding. vibe coding is lacking coding experience and slapping in some prompts to just get something that works
