Screenshot from May 16 2025 Nostr user Alex Gleason showing the AI added code to his app publishing his crypto wallets private key, which grants full access to the money in the wallet, via what looks like the JSON metadata of a Nostr message. It's followed by comments thanking him for the cryoto money and sarcastically asking him if he has tried learning programming.
Is "Vibe Coding" what we call using AI to write code without understanding how to code?
Can we instead call it something like "deadhead" coding? If the human is just filling a seat.....
Yep. There are some people who will argue that it means any use of AI while coding, but the original meme was about using AI to code without even checking the code it gave you.
It was an obviously dumb idea meant as a joke, but somehow a bunch of idiots took it seriously and now we have shit like this.
I think even experienced coders will likely fall into the trap of not double-checking once they build more confidence with AI. But all it takes is one instance like this to eff it up so it's probably better to not get into the habit of coding with AI in the first place.
Yes.
But I like to call it coding for no-talent ass clowns.
I'm curious also, I thought they just get super doped up on drugs and start coding while feeling great
That's normal programming.
It's scientifically proven to be the best way to code
Feeling great while coding is not normal.
While coding maybe not. But when it works and does what you want, the feeling is great
yesterday i changed an open source pearl program someone made, so it made my life more comfortable and it felt awesome. from the git clone to the first launch it was pure bliss
