@numericcitizen vibe coding is telling the AI what to do moment to moment. “I’d like to have a website that will be my new landing page.” AI goes off and does its thing. “Good, but I like my test to be blue and the headers to be images.” AI goes off to do its thing. “Not that blue. More teal blue.” AI goes off…you get the idea.
Using AI as a coding assistant is different, because you plan your prompts strategically or put lots of work into a spec document that you pass on to the AI.
One is “vibing”. The other is programming with AI.

@manton I cannot disagree more. Codex is really bad over here. It has trouble finding files I point it to.
@Mtt love the app concept. I’d love to have this for my German translations.
@manton I’ve been experimenting with different spec driven solutions and GSD and BMAD stand out. GSD for quick development and BMAD for very intense deep spec creation as well as review sessions during development. So I don’t actually review the code as much as I dive deep on the spec that goes into a project.
@manton I don’t know. The bots on Moltbook are already discussing their own religion, creating their own language and developing an encrypted system so the humans cannot listen in on Moltbook posts. Seems already very Skynet-ty to me.
@manton I deleted OpenClaw yesterday. It took too much time away from my work and wasn’t nearly done setting up right. I’ll try again in a few weeks when it has matured a bit. But I still think it has promise.
@manton you? What about him not making it? 😁
@manton I installed it on Tuesday and the rest of my week just vanished.
But then again, I generally have a huge problem prying myself away from playing with LLMs since I’ve returned from my surgery rehab four weeks ago. 
@manton but it is also a huge time sink. At least when you are trying to get the most out of it. Either that or I’m just too stupid to set it up right. So far no proactive „hey I developed this working dashboard or web app for you“ magic over here.
@manton I have it running on my Raspberry Pi which is locked down behind my router and firewall. It has access to the pi and can sent POST requests and of course connect to an LLM. But I’m very careful what it can access on the outside.
