Hey!
This is probably going to be a highly technical thread which I'll regret spawning... But, as we have some very clever computer science types on here, I was wondering if you could give me and others some pointers on vibe coding?
Questions that come to mind:
1. Is it actually worth it?
2. What are the limitations in scope?
3. Is it indeed improving as the big three are telling us?
4. Where is it best to get started on the mac with voiceover, IE, an accessible route in?
I'm sure other questions will arise.
I did have a play a few months back with XCode and Claud and, though it worked well at first (an IOS app for playing my gbook library from iCloud whilst grabbing meta data from audible), the further down the line I got the more errors appeared. It was basically losing coherence with each pass, entropy spreads and all that. I tried creating a brief and put it in a folder and kept asking the AI to refer back, checking against the development goals, but it got confused, more errors floated in and, not being lingual in such things, I just let it get on with the debugging.
I know what coders will say if I ask the question, is there any value in us learning coding basics, but I'm also looking for the fastest start to finish of idea to app. I know that sounds lazy but... I really can't be bothered to end this sentence.
I think, what puts me off coding, and I have coded before during my degree in computer systems engineering, is the sheer weight of code, navigating it, syntax errors which are hidden from us, which results in me coming out in a cold sweat when faced with a wall of it.
I'm hoping you can give some pointers on this. Is XCode, in fact, the best way to do this on mac or are there better solutions?
Please talk to me like I'm an idiot... because... Well, I won't finish that sentence either.
