Y Combinator CEO on what 'vibe coding' means

These CEO and their bulshit talks oh my gosh. Then I get to real work and then realize vibe coding my ass.

These "founders" are just glorifying a new somewhat universal form of project bootstrapping that can indeed accelerate the time to get a proof of concept based on interpolation of whatever code samples the model was fed during learning, nothing more. Goes off the rails very quickly on specific needs. Good to reduce grunt work for seasoned engineers. But, it doesn't factor in associated performance, reliability, security concerns nor knows about service interactions, infrastructure, the care needed when changing important business logic, maintainability and so on. All of these are critical aspects and where engineers are expected to weight in. For a PoC it might not matter. Above that it's not going to cut it. Yoloing like described is a recipe for disaster at that level, not going to happen in any serious company. It's so ridiculous that I kinda expect this trend to just be an undercover April's fool. Otherwise these guys are totally delusional or part of a cult.

No way CEO are speaking like that ...

Once you ask these (completely out of touch) CEO's to prove security they scuttle. Hackers will have a field day in this new age. Another case of CEO's pushing prototypes to production and running away when the 💩 hits the fan.

AI can definitely ASSIST coding but it's just a bit of cruise control for the coding experience.

AI tools will definitely be adjusted in pricing when we're over the hype and it will only be cost-effective in niche cases. If they're booting up nuclear reactors for this stuff it will eventually be reflected in the pricing.

It can only get so efficient, there's a reason we've invented Context Free Languages, it's somewhat ridiculous to do this trial-and-error with natural language and expect it to produce perfect results.

Andrej super smart guy but what has he actually done??? Serious question
