My high school computer lab instructor would tell me when I was frustrated that my code was misbehaving, "It's doing exactly what you're telling it to do". Once I mastered the finite number of operations and behaviors, I knew how to tell "it" what to do and it would work. The only thing different about vibe coding is the scale of operations and behaviors. It is doing exactly what you're telling it to do. And also expectations need to be aligned. Don't think you can hand over architecture and design to the LLM; that's still your job. The gain is, the LLM will deal with the proper syntax, api calls, etc. and work as a reserach tool on steroids if you also (from another mentor later in life) ask good questions. | ||
