vibe coding is too binary of a term and is causing confusion. The way I’m starting to look at it is agentic coding with different levels of human-in-the-loop. Sometimes you want to be in the loop ...

what do you think of jonathan blow's takes on this stuff?

LLMs will never be capable of making real good software

because they're not like alphazero, they just spit words

once someone does an AI that is actually a native programmer like AlphaZero is a chess player then it will be able to write assembly perfectly for anything and that's when human programmers won't be needed anymore

I don’t think he’s tried the latest models. Things are changing rapidly. They are good enough to pair program with now and have just become a really good tool. Maybe if he used them he could finish his game in less than ten years.

> because they're not like alphazero, they just spit words This seems to be changing right now: here's a paper on recent, roughly speaking, AlphaZero-like research that specifically uses coding problems. They make it learning on experience rather than on traditional datasets. https://arxiv.org/abs...
