Minimum Vibable Product… I’ll see myself out now
oh hey an actual joke in programmer_humor, let’s check the comments
🥲
vibe coding is trash for MVPs… it’ll get you there, but as always the achilles heel of vibe coding is maintenance and bugs
vibe coding is great for a POC, but the defining difference between a POC and an MVP is that a POC is made to be thrown out, doesn’t have to work all the time (you can say “ah yup just need to give it a kick” when you’re showing it off and manually intervene)
vibe coding is good to show a basic, unmaintainable, non-production version of a feature of function, but then you need to take that and manually build it into your MVP - perhaps by copying some minor parts of the POC, but verifying every step
know what’s great for MVPs? language specific frameworks like ruby on rails.
runs like dog shit, but you can have a full fledged app in days or weeks instead of months.
AI can’t do that.
One can do all the vibe coding they need but if they understand nothing what the AI is giving and also not verifying, things can go wrong very quickly.
What the fuck is vibe coding?
it’s an allegory for using AI for development is akin to coding with a vibrator up your ass.
sure it’s fun and easy, but the end result is you smell like shit and you’re unable to work after you’ve been caught.
LMAO!!!
I laughed so hard at this
Telling an AI agent to code an app without knowing what the code does.
the most important thing then is to make a flashy website, and try to unleash that monstrosity unto the world
It took me a minute to realize that “MVP” means “most valuable player” to most people.
Apparently I’ve been in tech far too long, and care about sports far too little.
My experience working with a vibe coder hired by one of our clients is actually that’s it great for MAXIMUM VP, as in a viable product made up of just under 40k lines of typescript, plus 90+ Node libraries for an app that amounts to a login page, a Square payment gateway and a user settings page (it’s seriously just a signup page for a coastguard and weather alerts service that the rest of our team built in Python and Rust). It crashes if it can’t talk to a database server that hosts no actual databases. It crashes if it doesn’t have the Square API secrets as envars, but the LLM also hard coded them into the API calls. It actually crashes if you try to run it any way other than “npm run dev” (so I srsly set up a service that runs it as npm run dev, as the ubuntu user).
I don’t want to be that guy, but ‘s is for possession, or when it is short for “is”, like what’s or how’s being what is and how is. Just a plain s for plural, never ‘s. I don’t get how so many people get this wrong, it’s not that hard.
I think you are wrong in this case. For example, many people would write X’s when talking about multiple instances of the letter X. As another commenter said, there are exceptions and acronyms can be one of them.
But I upvoted you anyway because us pedants need to stick together.
