It's great that LLMs provide opportunity for non-software engineers to make tech products, but I wonder how those "vibe-coded" products will fare when faced with actually maintaining the code (and also accounting for tech debt..)

"I realized 99% of people have no idea what a progressive web app." I never used it, Yeah I know it exist but who tf use that???? and I'm considering myself "techy"
Yeah I had a request on GitHub for it, so I implemented it! But it was only a "fix" for a very specific technical group people, not ALL the users. Good lesson learned there.
This: And with regards to AI taking jobs - it obviously will become a serious problem in future. But being a doomer right now is like lying down in a parking lot waiting to get run over - you're surrendering to a pointless outcome while the rest of the world keeps moving. Great sentiment. I've had a similar experience with LLMs and writing code - helpful when keeping the requests small, and a background in the area i…
> I built wikitok.io in about 2 hours (but not the iphone app that doesn't work, nor the play store rip off, nor wikitok.net but I'm getting ahead of myself). It all came from this tweet. This phrasing seems to suggest they think they invented the idea of "TikTok but it's Wikipedia". I see the author is OP, so my suggestion might be to consider rephrasing a bit as it comes off a bit accusatory. I did try my hand on t…

The point of that phrase was just to highlight the derivatives the I had no affiliation with. I built it and marketed it, but the idea came from some tweets that were gaining momentum.
Oh I see. My apologies, my assumption was that you had wrote the tweet.

But OP is a software engineer, I doubt a non software engineer can turn around a vibe coded app so quickly.

Also vibe coding is useless without marketing skills, deployment skills, distribution, social media skills, etc.

Maybe a "Download App" button that installs the PWA would help

> and a background in the area is essential Yes, precisely. Maybe one could (re)make something using LLMs without understanding a thing, but that is as good as copy pasting from SO without understanding.

This is not what a doomer is. A doomer is not a nihilist. A doomer is someone who recognizes a great threat of impending doom. They may raise the alarm bell in response. If they choose to lie down and wait to get run over, that's a nihilist doomer.
