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'm particularly interested in this question, and the related psychological effects, in relation to those who legitimately cannot read or write code for themselves.

I have a hunch that such people have a view of software development velocity and practice that we would find skewed, and that they would likewise struggle to accept just how slow and involved the process really is when an LLM isn't in the mix.
