#2I would like to see this five-hour vibe coded platform and the commit history. Just curious.

#3Developers hate AI coding tools for the same reasons musicians dislike AI music and artists dislike AI art. Its the 'craft' problem as you say.
But an artist who values the end result over the craft is hardly an artist at all. They're a merchant at heart. The art is the product, and what excites them is shipping product.
For an artist at heart, however, the process is the product. Lucky for them, its about to become a lot more valuable.

#4It’s the personal experience of watching Claude Code fly off the rails. Could I spend even more on Claude and attempt to get it to half ass the review? I suppose. But it still my ass on the line when it all goes sideways.

I agree, to the point where I think this site should outright ban pro AI posts that don't show the code.
That would END all this spam because they NEVER show the code, and we all know why.

#7It's not about solving puzzles for us, craft-focused developers. It's about caring about the clarity of our writing, for the same reason a writer wouldn't want an AI agent writing their book.

I tend to agree, but at the end of the day I am providing for my family first and foremost.
This means having to knock out tasks each sprint, whether they tickle my fancy or not. If I can offload that work to the AI “agent”, then so be it.
I don’t feel the need to make my vocation a core part of my identity, so the time savings is worth more than elegantly crafted code or whatever other intrinsic value comes from a hand crafted solution.

#9Have fun maintaining a slop blob.
It's not just about the craft. It's about understability, explainability and accountability.

Why?
Because the claims are either a lie or the code is atrocious. Showing the commit logs and a video would make it a lot harder to hide those facts.
