I'm halfway through Steve Yegge's book Vibe Coding. Yegge was quoted in the article: > “We’re talking 10 to 20 — to even 100 — times as productive as I’ve ever been in my career,” Steve Yegge, a veteran coder who built his own tool for running swarms of coding agents That tool has been pretty popular. It was a couple hundred thousand lines of code and he wrote it in a couple months. His book is about using AI to write major new projects and get them reliable and production-ready, with clean, readable code. It's basically a big dose of solid software engineering practices, along with enough practice to get a feel for when the AI is screwing up. He said it takes about a year to get really good at it. (Yegge, fwiw, was a lead dev at Amazon and Google, and a well-known blogger since the early 2000s.) | ||
