Ask HN: Is Vibe Coding a Craft?

[xendo]

Is vibe coding something that requires 10000 hours to master? Should I start immediately or is writing code by hand fine for now.

vibe coding a fool's errand, learning to work with AI takes time and is worth it

give your agents good tools

[qubex]

No.

I’m glad we’ve cleared that up once and for all.

It probably won't require 10,000 hours but vibe coding is a craft.

I found Steve Yegge's book to be very helpful [1].

Is vibe bridge building a craft? I am sure no human will design and build any traffic-intensive bridge in 2126.

I'm glad I'll be long dead by the time we have LLMs designing and building critical infrastructure.
