"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

I've found success using more powerful LLMs to help me create applications using the Rust programming language. If you use a weak LLM and ask it to do something very difficult you'll get bad results. You still need to have a fundamental understanding of good coding practices. Using an LLM to code doesn't replace the decision making.

Based on my experience with claude sonnet and gpt4/5... It's a little useful but generally annoying and fails more often than works.

I do think moderate use still comes out ahead, as it saves a bunch of typing when it does work, but I still get annoyed at the blatantly stupid suggestions I keep having to decline.
