The Emptiness of Vibe Coding Resembles the Emptiness of Scrolling Through X's Timeline
Analysis
The article expresses a feeling of emptiness and lack of engagement when using AI-assisted coding (vibe coding). The author describes the process as simply giving instructions, watching the AI generate code, and waiting for the generation limit to be reached. This is compared to the passive experience of scrolling through X's timeline. The author acknowledges that this method can be effective for achieving the goal of 'completing' an application, but the experience lacks a sense of active participation and fulfillment. The author intends to reflect on this feeling in the future.
