- As a professional developer, I would find it very frustrating to have to debug someone else's code and also be held responsible for that code. - As a hobbyist developer, it would bother me that I'm no longer a developer. These two statements articulate my feelings about LLM-generated code better than I have heretofore been able to do myself.

Yes, but maybe the author disagrees with the term? I mean, can you even call it "coding" when you don't handle any code?
Sure, you can disagree with it being "coding" or not, but "vibe coding" as used in the general vernacular means exactly what the author did. It's kind of silly to say "I disagree that green is the word that should be applied to the color of plants", it is what the word is. We don't all get to set our own personal definitions
Anyone can decide what words mean to them, and if enough people agree with you, you can use them to communicate!

#16Seems fairly easy but whereas hand coding i run into bugs that are some dark corner of the code,now i do the same but cant do more than yell at the LLM to do better.
Im still saving time but the different types of bugs are fascinating.

#18Ive downloaded a coding harness and using local llm to improve self hosting and security. Seems fairly easy but whereas hand coding i run into bugs that are some dark corner of the code,now i do the same but cant do more than yell at the LLM to do better.

Don't forget to add "Make no mistakes" to the prompt

"As a professional developer, I would find it very frustrating to have to debug someone else's code and also be held responsible for that code." Are you really a professional programmer? A very basic responsibility for many professionals are maintaining someone else's code.
