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 @menelion It’s not about the language itself for me. It’s about how inaccessible the tools surrounding it are. Debugging is still awkward and terrible. Designing forms still sucks. Profiling is a pita. We can’t test on the iOS or Android simulator last I checked. We have nothing as clean and easy as unity. All tutorials and cookbooks are incomprehensible YouTube videos, LLM slop, ad covered, or all three. AI allows me to use one interface, with one modality, to do the hard bits.
