Well I guess making Next.js apps isn't really "serious engineering"

> Read the code yourself, otherwise it'll be really hard to call yourself any sort of engineer.

I do read the code but I barely write any code by hand.

Where did I say that?

Right, so you use the words "vibe coding" yet you don't actually understand the concept? A lot of things make sense now. The description "vibe coding" is explicitly about "programming" with a LLM without reading or writing any code at all, for any purpose. If you read the code, you're not really vibe coding as originally described by Karpathy.

You replied to a comment that says "Yep, Next.js has the best support for vibe coding."

You can stop arguing that if one glances at the code one is no longer vibe coding, because in practice by looking at the code or even the LLM's thoughts you can catch things you don't want early.
