A Hacker News thread discusses a flagged article, "The Way of Code: The Timeless Art of Vibe Coding," with strong opinions expressed. "Overgard" kicks off the discussion by criticizing "vibe coding" as a devaluing force against genuine programming skills. Others echo this sentiment, noting it's a celebration of ignorance. Some fear it will lead to innovation stagnation, turning humans into mere "prompt interfaces." Interestingly, some commenters speculate whether the article is satire or serious, as it seems to mimic the writing style of Rick Rubin's "The Creative Act." It's pointed out that Rubin himself is involved and sees the project as an exploration of creativity, but the project was made by Anthropic, potentially an ad. Despite its perceived pretentiousness, some users, like "lacker," find the playful aspect of "vibe coding" engaging, especially for beginners. However, many remain skeptical, viewing it as a simplistic approach that undermines the dedication of skilled programmers. Overall, the thread highlights a deep divide on the value and future of "vibe coding" in the tech world.
