Vibe coding is to coding what microwaving is to cooking.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

So a tool that is largely useless for people with training, experience, and time. But invaluable for others who figured out how to incorporate it into their work flows as well as those who have no time and simply need to eat something.
It's useless for people with experience and actively detrimental for those without
You're right, in principle. But I think "invaluable" is stretching it, for most of us.
I call it convenient, but foolish and detrimental. Both of microwaves and current AI.
Whether I'm judging someone for it depends mostly whether the quality of the result is my problem, or not.
Yeah, I don't see AI as invaluable, at least not as it is now, but microwaves? I personally would not want a kitchen without one.
Good point.
I don't feel great about my microwave cooking, but I miss it immediately when it breaks.
