After two years of vibecoding, I'm back to writing by hand [video] 6 months ago
From my attempts, still, it takes more time to fix the code than it would if writing it all by hand. BUT! It's getting better and I look at it as just the next abstraction layer we will get used to. Think of it. Back in University I had to write code on PAPER. To think of memory allocation manually! Then came out managed code.. Then huge SDKs.. Then smart IDEs with intellij/intellisense..
And some us even remember riding the CPU with mov rcx, 5.
We were just shifting our focus byte by byte from the nits and bolts towards the actual problem we are solving. In other words going less "hard"-ware, more and more "soft"-ware.
AI is just continuing this evolution, adding another abstraction layer in soft dev process.
