Question for people who vibe-code full apps, especially blind people, as I believe that covers most of my followers who do this: What would it take for you to be comfortable coding directly in a programming language without an LLM? A high-level programming language with better tutorials and quickstart templates than are currently available, particularly for writing real apps? Or do you believe that having an LLM generate the code is the only way you could practically do what you do?
@matt I haven't actually published any vibe coded apps, but I have messed around with it some and done a couple small personal things with it. And the reason is that my brain just doesn't parse code well. I can understand the concept of code, but I just can't wrap my head around the actual syntax no matter what I try. Yes I have tried multiple times in my life. Could I maybe learn given months of struggling with it and fighting my brain, maybe, but to be honest when I've messed with vibe coding it's been for small things that I didn't think it was worth 500 headaches over. So yeah, for me the minor tinkering with vibe coding comes from my brain just seemingly not being structured to understand coding syntax. Feels like how some people are just not good at math, I feel like I'm just not good at code. I know how to describe and imagine what I want in very deep detail, I'm just not a coder. A bit of a ramble but yeah.
