Doing something that's not your primary interest is one thing.
Not wanting to learn new things or understand how things work or put in any effort to succeed because you think you can just cheat your way through life is a totally different thing.
And that's what the difference between using AI programming tools responsibly and "vibe coding" is.
Agreed, but you’re your bunching a lot of people into the category of slacker that don’t belong there.
A new tool released that basically lets you design a GUI through guided voice prompts. The 50yr old school teacher can “vibe code” all she wants.
The real problem arises when someone makes false claims they’re a developer when they’re just managing AI generated code. Making it your primary interest and then cheating to make it seem true.
> Or I’m in a different industry and it’s ridiculous to require years of schooling for a skill that’s not my primary interest?
It took me 6 months when I was 10 years old to become technical and create a website. If a 10 years old can do it in 6 months, an adult can do it in 1 month if they work hard.
Or maybe the numbers looked jumbled and they really didn’t enjoy STEM classes?
You sound arrogant.
Have you ever paid for artwork? You may not have said “I’m not artistic,” but the same criticisms apply in reverse.
