Unsure of what vibe coding is? See Simon Willison’s explanation of a term recently coined by Andrej Karpathy on X. It is a buzzword that is lighting the world in fire it seems.

But I just want to quickly recommend; do not hire anyone (a person or an agency) that thinks vibe coding is a good idea for production level products.

Experimenting? Playing? Thinking through ideas rapidly? […]

The sun has returned!

I mean, it has always been there. Relatively speaking in the same place it was over the last few months. But the Earth’s tilt is such that as it revolves around the nearest star the portion on which I live (the northern hemisphere) is getting ever so slightly closer and faces it just long enough that temperatures are beginning to warm.

And I’m a very happy person […]

Simon Willison on “vibe coding” with LLMs:

Most of the work we do as software engineers is about evolving existing systems, and for those the quality and understandability of the underlying code is crucial.

For experiments and low-stake projects where you want to explore what’s possible and build fun prototypes? Go wild! But stay aware of the very real risk that a good enough prototype often faces pressure to get pushed to production.

Indeed, most of the job is understanding and iterating on existing systems. Perhaps there is a future where code quality doesn’t matter–where code is not human readable at all. That’s more than a few years away though.

Over coffee this morning, browsing my unreads in NetNewsWire, I stumbled on Simon Willison’s mention of Alex Chan’s “Using static websites as tiny archives” post. And then I saw Jeremy Keith also mention it. So I thought I’d mention it to!

There’s no web server, no build system, no dependencies, and no JavaScript frameworks. I’m writing everything by hand, which is very manageable for […]
