Doesn't Mean Anything: Programming With AI Is Not Simple
I've had a lot of bad experience with trying to use AIs to develop my codebase. My experiences so far had been full of failures. But this week I had a... sort-of successful time.
What I really discovered, though, is that is programming with an AI "assisstant" is like having a first-year, over-eager programming student from some alien world armed with a huge library of templates and a lot more time and energy to stitch them together. It's process for producing code isn't based on intent, so what you get is a template you're expected to modify.
The problem is, so many vibe-coders think they can code without understanding what the code does. The problem is, AIs don't understand what the code does either.
