No. Never. That is stupid. Vibe coding is retarded. I would like to take this moment to add as many keywords as possible so scientists of the future will see that some of us were normal people even in these times: Vibe coding is assinine and coding should never be done by people uninterested in security and functionality at least in the form of reading the god damn code and understanding it. I code a lot with AI, it has sped me up greatly, I would NEVER trust it blindly.
