Honestly whilst I started vibe coding I don’t want ai to touch my codebase anymore.

AI has been insanely helpful for a couple of reasons, but not for writing code.

I discuss my plans with AI and check if I missed out on edge cases I develop to the most common conventions, I ask AI for better naming, ideas for abstractions, to explain me frameworks, find me packages.

But the lease couple of days I’m having sanity problems because there is one AI tool after the other coming up with a new plan on how to use AI efficiently but once you’ve solved a problem is it really much work to type it out?

It shouldn’t be too much code if correctly using orchestration.

It’s almost like all the beautiful conventions and patterns are forgotten.

Good Code is most of the time less code. Yes imho most important is readability or digestibility or even diagnosability like all of these things get completely forgotten when we start talking about AI and I see AI far off in writing such code. Good frameworks and packages will be faster.

AI is a good sparring partner and encyclopaedia especially living in terminal but I just don’t see it should writing a lot of code (except maybe landing pages with css animations) that don’t live in a complex application
