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?

Replying to @⁨matt@toot.cafe⁩

@matt I've dev'd full-time and am teaching programming to newbies every day, as well as do research in that field. I know my way around the battlefield. However I don't have enough time in my life to put all of my ideas down manually. LLMs allow me to do that whilst doing other things in parallel. I do review manually (which takes way less time than actually writing it), and steer it back on track if it gets off-rails. I will never ask it to write code in languages I don't know myself.
