Vibe coding

I agree with Linus Torvalds, "I think it's fairly positive that vibe coding means that anybody can get a computer to do something that they otherwise couldn't have done. But from a maintenance standpoint, vibe coding is horrible, horrible. Because you don't understand what you're doing."

For a developer the remaining work of formal specification, testing, and debugging is frequently more difficult than the actual coding, and a lot less fun. 

I do use LLMs as a natural language database to retrieve example code. This is as a supplement to my code library.
