    Vibe coding works when you need to say connect to some API and can feed the model a bunch of docs.

    It’s great for very low skill, low maintenance, low risk code that I can easily and reliably regenerate.

    Increasingly coding models are improving at architecture choices, Claude 4.5 vs 4 is way better here. But ultimately it’s inferior to a ginger making those choices.

    It’s also a great debugger and reviewer.

    I used it this weekend to connect to an API and to build a table of constants by just feeding it docs. That was a huge time saver.

    I also used it to try and implement stuff and I gotta say once it hit tricky things it started trying to game it and just say it works.

      thats totally the type of code I have written. granted I really consider it more configuration even if it is code. This is always a thing with jobs. Yes I have written code but no im not really a coder by my definition (writes code over 50% of time at positions). No you don’t really need a coder for this ops role but yeas its fine that it uses continous development and a bit of code needs to be changed and you call it all devops.
