a short story to address explaining what vibe coding is for non developers:
Picture this- are tools like Devin "vibe coding"?
if we break down the mechanics of what interfaces it's looping through:
1)Chat
2)IDE
3)CLI
4)Dev console/Browser
and it's effective copy and pasting what it sees while trying to complete an objective it doesn't fully comprehend. Blissfully ignoring the ramifications of desired combinations as long as decent version control practices are being applied. iterating / adjusting prompts subtlety along the way to debug when getting stuck in a thought loop. changing your prompt from "fix it" to something with more "pizazz" as the key to breaking this cycle.
how is it any different than when I do all this manually?
Slog through this game of 4 square long enough and you can pretty much vibe anything together.
