One of my coworkers was excited to tell me about the vibe coding workshop he did over the summer. He's not a programmer much at all, and I think he just... enjoyed programming. I tried to hide the deep horror from my face but I don't know if it worked.

I think he did learn some things but I am not convinced it had anything to do with having an LLM giving him code to fix and modify instead of simply copying and pasting bits of code from message boards as we did in olden times.

I live in dread for the day when my husband will come home and tell me how he's been vibe coding at work with all of the bad influences in his office.

I need to have a talk with him. You know what they say:

"If you don't talk to your husband about vibe coding he will learn about it at the office!"

@ligasser @futurebird Thanks for this! Finally, it adds up (somehow). Always had this feeling that quantum computing was the emperors new clothes, but never had the chance to ask the key question: how do you ACTUALLY write a program for a quantum computer?

@jakobtougaard @futurebird that's the best thing with SMBC: not only is it funny, but often you learn something!
