"Vibe coding" is a trendy expression for "Automated coding".
Automated programming especially allows me to quickly build the tools I need so fast that every blacksmith that ever existed on this earth would envy me deeply.
With the automated coding, "we can finally get rid of all that middle work. That adapting layer of garbage we blindly accepted during these years. A huge amount of frameworks and libraries and tooling that has completely polluted software engineering, especially in web, mobile and desktop development."
The frameworks claim to solve three problems: simplification, automation and labour cost. "You unlock a feature that has nothing to do with engineering: you no longer need to hire a software engineer. You hire a React Developer.
Software engineering is back in a sense again: We have the chance again to get rid of useless complexity and keep working on the true and welcome complexity of our ideas, our features, our products. The complexity that matters. The complexity that is actually yours.
Automation and boilerplating have never been so cheap to overcome. I’ve been basically never writing twice the same line of code. I’m instantly building small tools I need, purpose built, exactly shaped around the problem at hand. I don’t need any fancy monorepo manager. A simple Makefile covers 100% of my needs for 99% of my use cases.
Bash, makefiles, ...
