Alright, let’s talk about these so-called “vibe coders.” Yeah, the ones out here opening ChatGPT, typing in “make me a full-stack app with auth and dark mode,” and calling themselves developers.
No, bro. You didn’t build anything. You summoned a glorified autocomplete and watched it vomit out some Frankenstein code. And now you’re walking around like you cracked the goddamn Matrix?
Give me a break.
This Ain’t Coding, It’s Copy-Paste Clownery
You think you’re coding because you got something working on localhost? Please.
You didn’t learn jack. You don’t know what async even means. You can’t debug your own stack to save your life. One broken import and you’re crying on Twitter like, “why does nothing work 😭?”
Let’s get one thing straight: vibe coding is not software development. It’s cosplay.
And you’re not a dev. You’re a guy in a dev costume with AI duct tape holding your “project” together.
You’re Not Building. You’re Prompting. Big Difference.
Here’s the ugly truth, you don’t know what the hell you’re doing.
You’re not engineering. You’re not designing systems. You’re just typing “make a button that adds things to a list” and praying the AI hands you gold.
Newsflash: that ain’t skill. That’s laziness.
And what happens when shit breaks? Oh, right — you start prompt-spamming again like a monkey throwing darts hoping one hits the target.
What happened to understanding logic?
What happened to learning the why behind the what?
Y’all skipped the journey and now act shocked when the destination doesn’t make sense.
Real Developers Don’t Vibe Their Way Through Problems
When a real dev sees a bug, they don’t run to an AI like it’s their coding mommy.
They analyze.
They debug.
They read stack traces and docs.
You? You just hit retry and pray. That’s not problem-solving — that’s desperation.
And the worst part? You brag about it like you’re innovating. Nah, you’re just lazy with a prettier tool.
Vibe Coders Don’t Read Docs — They Read Tweets
Let’s talk about your learning strategy.
Real devs read docs, books, RFCs. They go deep.
You? You scroll X (formerly Twitter), read a two-line thread with emojis, and call it a “lesson.”
You don’t understand closures.
You don’t understand hoisting.
You don’t even know what a f***ing memory leak is.
But sure — flex that “built with AI in 15 mins” badge. Just don’t let anyone look under the hood, or they’ll see the digital dumpster fire you call code.
You Want the Glory Without the Grind
The worst part of vibe coding culture? Entitlement.
You want job offers.
You want recognition.
You want praise for something the AI did while you sat there sipping iced coffee like a startup founder.
You don’t deserve shit — not until you understand the difference between a div and a death trap.
Not Saying Don’t Use AI — Just Stop Faking Expertise
Let’s be clear: AI is a tool. A damn good one.
But tools don’t make you a craftsman.
A camera won’t make you a photographer.
A paintbrush won’t make you Picasso.
And ChatGPT won’t make you a software engineer.
You still need skills. You still need pain. You still need those late-night debug battles that make you question your life choices.
If you skip that, you’re skipping the soul of coding.
Coding Isn’t Just Output — It’s Understanding
Your app “works”? Cool.
Now tell me why it works. Tell me the architecture. Tell me the tradeoffs. Tell me the edge cases.
Oh, you can’t?
Then you’re not coding — you’re just vibing through tech like a tourist who doesn’t speak the language.
Final Words For The Vibe Bro Devs
If this post pissed you off, good. Maybe it’ll shake you out of your delusion.
If you truly care about software, you’ll take the time to learn it for real.
Not just prompt it. Not just paste it. Not just ship it and bounce.
Learn the shit that breaks.
Fix the shit that’s hard.
Earn the title, don’t just vibe with it.
And if you don’t want to? That’s fine. But don’t call yourself a dev when the only thing you know how to write is a prompt.
