alt Hacker NewsIt seems like a big part of the divide is that people who learned software engineering find vibe coding to be unsuitable for any project intended to be in use for more than a few while those who learned coding think vibe coding is the next big thing because they never have to deal with the consequences of the bad code.
Yes. If you have some experience, you know that writing code is a small part of the job, and a much bigger chunk is anticipating and/or dealing with problems.
People seem to think engineers like "clean code" because we like to be fancy and show off.
Nah, it's clean like a construction site. I need to be able to get the cranes and the heavy machinery in and know where all the buried utilities are. I can't do that if people just build random sheds everywhere and dump their equipment and materials where they are.
