Time to kick things off with a crappy AI-generated meme

Ben Halpern • Apr 14 '25

I generate these to riff on the cover meme. This one is almost good but just forgot to finish it. Lazy AI.

That's what js compilers do code snipped from website prod build:

var _ = {
        label: 0,
        sent: function() {
            if (t[0] & 1) throw t[1];
            return t[1];
        },
        trys: [],
        ops: []
    }, f, y, t, g = Object.create((typeof Iterator === "function" ? Iterator : Object).prototype);
    return g.next = verb(0), g["throw"] = verb(1), g["return"] = verb(2), typeof Symbol === "function" && (g[Symbol.iterator] = function() {
        return this;
    }), g;
    "TURBOPACK unreachable";
    function verb(n) {
        return function(v) {
            return step([
                n,
                v
            ]);
        };
    }

Okay... Completely real question here: What is Vibe Coding?!

Austin Ewens • Apr 14 '25

The terminology originated from a tweet from Andrej Karpathy on 2025-02-05 that stated:

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

TL;DR - Taking the leap from "AI assisted programming" where you still try to do quality control as the developer, and instead just letting the AI write everything and you just accept it (warts and all). Can be nifty for hobby side projects on the weekend, but has profound implications if done for serious projects and shipped to production.
