Val Town asserts that vibe code is legacy code.

· Bits and Bobs 8/4/25
  • Val Town asserts that vibe code is legacy code.
    • This tracks to me: legacy code is code that works but that you didn't write and don't understand.
    • If you were to refactor or improve it it would take some time to "get in the loop" with it.
    • It works, but it's not pretty.
    • Vibe code by default has the same basic dynamic.
    • However, vibe code can be created that doesn't have this problem.
    • If you think carefully about guidance for it and specs, then you have influenced it, just at a different layer of abstraction, and do understand it at a high level in a way that didn't apply to raw vibe code.[dj][dk][dl]
