Everyone is not getting the same results. This is evident in the wide reporting in usefulness. Some people are producing production code while others claim they can't get the AI to to even basic things without error.
Something is def different. If we then look to human history and tool usage, never has there been a tool that is equally wielded by all members of the species. It's not magic, it's a tool. You know two plumbers can produce very different outcomes with the same tools, why do people expect developers with coding agent tools to exhibit different human-tool outcomes?
It certainly speed up some things, slows down others; for learning - a great resource! For generating code I'm on the fence, still experimenting; for now, I write some code manually, some with Claude, working on the hybrid setup. My intuition tells my that a flexible use of this tool will prove to be the most optimal - writing some code manually, some with LLms, depending on both the task and the programmer knowledge, experience and skills.
my system prompts and agents.md are where I put the effort in
we all have different experiences with our tools, even before Ai, there was a difference in developer productivity, gonna always be like that
My experience has been a clear gains in both the short & long term, I don't vibe code because that is lunacy
In the end of the day, vibe coding kind of replicates and accelerate your thoughts and ideas by 100x. It removed techincal complexity and mundane tasks from your workflow.
