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 took programming classes and discovered I get completely lost in the syntax. My brain isn't capable of translating conception into the actual modules and code pieces required, even if I am better than the average person at abstracting - in English - how a system behaves and selecting components that go with it. I genuinely do not believe I will ever be able to properly code.

@nick I'll be curious to hear what my followers who are into programming language design and psychology (I do have at least one follower in each of those fields) think of this. To me though, it sounds like we still have room for improvement in programming language design. Not that there's much funding for that, with everyone chasing AI.

@matt Perhaps.

I will say this though for your favorite one. Even if the syntax makes my head completely spin, one of the things I love about Rust is that, so far as I know anyway, someone took great care in making sure that at least it tells you what you did wrong in more detail than, say, C++ did in my experience with it.
