alt Hacker NewsI don't know about anyone else, but since vibe coding, I'm making more things than I've ever made before. Just a constant stream of making, all day.
Couldn't be happier. I make things because I want to see them exist, not because it was hard.

And I make visualizations by watching TV every day. My visual cortex just has a constant stream of making visualizations all day.
All these maker types dropping that differentiator immediately in the name of pragmatism.
To be clear I’m not sure what I’m doing is vibe coding because I write some of the code and read/understand what the LLM writes.
I think I’m learning less (about the code) but making more. Maybe that’s okay? There are other things to learn about. My code has users, it processes money. I user test, I iterate, I see what works and what they need.
Ditto. I have done 6 projects over the last 12 months, and wrote up 3 of them on my web site, I also usually post a link either here, or hackaday, or the other maker sites, most of my work these days is repurposing broken commercial or consumer electronics by replacing the PCB's to give things a second life (eg <https://rodyne.com/?p=3380>). I've been making things since 1981, vibe coding just makes it easier for me to work with more complicated stuff.
