Vibe coding leaves me with a very sour taste
Top-tier LLMs, Rust and Erlang NIFs; nifty, and night and day vs. C, but let me tell you about vibe coding…
After I submitted my blog post to Hacker News on using Grok 3 to generate C for an Erlang NIF with the help of code reviews by GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Flash, I received some interesting comments. Let’s review them before we dive deep into why vibe coding leaves me with a very sour taste, and why I will never engage in vibe coding again, if I can avoid it.
