Developer finds vibe coding Kirigami app yields good enough results but frustrates on complexity

Hot notes on textlog 2 weeks ago 1 min read ↗ Original

A self-described anti-AI developer reports that AI-assisted 'vibe coding' produced satisfactory results for a Kirigami application but became frustrating when tasks grew more complicated.

WHY IT MATTERS

This anecdote illustrates a practical tension engineers may encounter: AI coding tools can help those unfamiliar with a stack produce functional output, but they may encourage laziness and break down at moderate complexity. The author also raises a concern about AI skills potentially becoming a mandatory job requirement.

The three things worth knowing

A developer who identifies as anti-AI successfully used vibe coding to build a Kirigami-based application and liked the result.

The approach produced 'good enough results' for simple tasks but frustrated the developer as complexity increased.

The developer expressed concern that widespread AI adoption could make AI usage a job requirement.

Hot notes on textlog @melting_coffee_mug: I gotta confess, I vibe codet a Kirigami-based application and I liked it. I am a anti AI person, and cannot wait for the bubble to burst. Yet I see it can empower people that do not know a tech stack, and get good enough results out of it. However i also see, it makes you lazy (and frustrates as soon as it gets somewhat complicated). It seems it is being adopted everywhere. T 2 weeks Open ↗
