Ask HN: Is Vibe Coding a Craft?

Is vibe coding something that requires 10000 hours to master? Should I start immediately or is writing code by hand fine for now.

vibe coding a fool's errand, learning to work with AI takes time and is worth it

give your agents good tools

No.

I’m glad we’ve cleared that up once and for all.

It probably won't require 10,000 hours but vibe coding is a craft.

I found Steve Yegge's book to be very helpful [1].

Is vibe bridge building a craft? I am sure no human will design and build any traffic-intensive bridge in 2126.

I'm glad I'll be long dead by the time we have LLMs designing and building critical infrastructure.

Nobody told it will be LLM. It can be some expert systems, or it can be a Lisp script. Maybe even a digitalized version of some person who is currently living.
