2. This was vibe Youtubing…

3. Unliking and unsubscribing. I was already dubious about the extent of your research. Now I don't trust your motivations either.

4. I heard your disclaimer, I trust your sincerity, but the content and the sponsor combination leaves a bad taste in my mouth and scepticism in my mind as I stop watching your video about 5 and a half minutes in. I know you need sponsors but this is another short sighted decision much like the “gulf of america” line a few months back.

5. all AI needs a human in the loop. It's great for prototyping.

6. lovable? Wtf

7. I liked the video, very informative, create whatever videos you like man, it s your channel don t listen to other people complain

8. Compromised.

9. I don't understand the hate- lovable is the sponcer but the video makes full sense against vibe coding that is loveable. As a tech founder – yes ai needs very strict supervision… It's very good at testing multiple types of base level functions and ui /ux and finds common errors quickly and helps speed up the whole game… But u can't rely on it for scaling and when u have real users

10. Cold fusion's internal monologue: "I'll make so much money from the sponsorship that the terrible viewership won't matter, I can afford this flop"

11. I love vibe coding. The more it's used and the more it fails, the bigger the demand is for people like me: People who actually know how to code, fast, reliable and creative code that works.
    Every time a "vibe coder" or someone that thinks using everything except write code makes something I get called in to fix it and I can make bank through my billing hours and overtime pay.

    Because people like me know what we are actually doing, companies need us more than we need them and thus, we set the price.

    P.S. Maybe I need to explain a bit: The challenge with programming is not "making something that does what you want". That's university level stuff and AI can do that easily. What you need is to code in all the safeguards against the app and it's features not doing what it's not supposed to. Any piece of software that is customer facing needs a lot of safeguards to protect it against the users doing something they're not supposed to. And to do that you need experience of having worked on commercial software and having seen and made the mistakes that you are trying to prevent. There is no school, book or video that can teach you that. The language and syntax is the least challenging part of coding.

12. I actually liked the video (and your little pop up at the end, good to see you mate). Don’t worry about the hate. See you next time, cheers from Brazil

13. Humans are just used to make hype such a useless generation

14. A very fair and balanced video. Well done.

15. I had Gemini write a simple script to iterate through a list of hosts with ssh and run a simple command. I asked it to suppress the SSH output banners. It did this, by deleting the entire SSH configs.

    Yeeeeah I’m not too worried yet.

16. This video really summed up vibe coding strength and weakness 😊

17. Scam alert

18. sooner or later it will be smarter and better and human will become dumber and worst. its a new tech and it will improve year by year and takeover jobs and capitalist win and there will be less jobs

19. Hey! Speaking as a software engineer with 5+ years of commercial experience, it is a little bit sad to see such negative feedback in comments. From my perspective, everything that's been said in the video is very transparent and to the point. The subject is viewed from different angles, I for the life of me didn't noticed any bias whatsoever. You don't need to be that harsh to the author really.

    P.S. that's my first YouTube comment ever in who knows how many years I am watching it, that's how I am upset with the reaction.

20. Senior software engineer here with almost 15 years of experience. There's a grain of truth to both POV's regarding the use of AI when writing software.
    The mistake people are making is that they use it for everything …but AI isn't good at everything, it doesn't understand the reason behind the request, it doesn't understand implicit constraints, and it will always lack context because humans aren't good at explaining things.

    The way I use AI tools is fairly limited, but I do use it. Some examples would be:
    1. "I've just implemented this functionality here, write some tests that checks A, B, C, D, and E in SomeTestFile.cpp" (they're almost always wrong, but they usually provide excellent starting points)
    2. "I've received the following JSON-format data setup in a customers crash telemetry. Hardcode this setup in Functionaname()" (and I'll use that to repro the issue)
    3. "I've got a task to implement XYZ, what files and functions are relevant to me if I want to do that?" (enormous code base, so it helps find things for me)
    4. "Explain the difference between Var A, B, and C. it sounds to me like they do the same thing. Also suggest some better names for them"
    5. "Suggest 5 improvements to this new class I've added." (some suggestions are just straight up terrible, but some are great)
    6. "Explain how macro VA_ARGS works in contrast to variadic templates. When would I want to use one over the other? Why is it used here on line 12-18?" (Great way to learn things in context)

    I haven't used it much for refactoring, but that's also something I could see it being good at. I also think it'd be useful as a first pass for code reviews, but our tools don't support it yet.

    In short: If you use AI with things it's bad at, you'll get bad results. If you use AI with things it's good at, it can help you get good results faster.
    The problem is that both the AI AND the people using the AI think it's good at everything. …and yes there are some who think it's bad at everything too, but that simply isn't true.

21. Are we now waiting for "Rise and fail of ColdFusion"? 😅

    Hope not and lessons learned

22. Got about 6 minutes in and had to turn it off. This is wildly irresponsible, even with independent programmers checking the script.

23. Tnx mate… time to vibe code

24. @Coldfusion pls do not install our intelligence. This is giant promotional video for Lovable; worst you had to diginto Replit the direct competitor to Lovable is "generating fake data and unrealible" while pressing Lovable

25. As a software developer myself – AI has significantly increased the speed of development, But I have first hand experience with just AI Slop code. It's super dangerous.

26. This channel is part of the balloon jeez

27. the truth is that vibe coding is expensive

28. I've always liked Cold Fusion videos and thought this one would be interesting, but when you start advertising for the villain I had to abort.

29. the video was fine. idk what is up with the hate. maybe a bunch of bots or people that didn't watch the whole thing and are being utterly presumptuous. i read the comments and they were totally out of context and unfair. anyways….

    Richard Feynman's quote regarding "what do you care what others think?" is part of his reflections on the importance of direct observation and understanding rather than being influenced by others' opinions. He emphasizes that knowing the name of a bird is not enough; understanding its behavior is crucial. This quote reflects his belief in the value of personal discovery and the importance of looking at the world directly rather than being swayed by external opinions

30. Im in animation and I have the same with the content creation part of AI it bums me out and wont get my anywere what I like

31. 🤮🤮🤮

32. Why call it vibe coding in the first place? It should be called simply prompt coding. Where's the vibe in it?

33. There's maybe six big AI companies but there's thousands and thousands of saas companies that's the true bubble

34. any programmer worth his salt will work off. a proper program spec. But this just didn't just fall into your lap. A systems architect and a project manger would have be also working to save time and what coding was important or secondary. Now it's like AI can knock code out miraculously and not think or be responsible for what it creates. It's like have in a toilet, but you don't have to use it….what a mess. Also if you had 3 days to do coding and then add AI. It does basic things not exactly what you want. It wastes time and in 3 days if you don't have something to show…. the AI hype in coding…Sure it will save you time or not and you fall behind. the new BS world. Prototyping is one thing, but who test the code and who fixes the mess…. LOL Love this chaos. You can charge more per hour to fix AI code.

35. Stopped watching when I realized this was an ad.

36. Vibe Coding output becomes much better if you provide what is required in details that can be easily understood and processed by Vibe Coding tool. This is where writing down and linking your related requirements together to pass in via exported JSON dataset would help a lot.

37. As an amateur with zero coding experience you're explanation of your experience with code generation has been pretty much carbon copy of my experience with Gemini's generation and AI in general

38. Honestly saying – what started off as one of the hidden gems on YT – you have become just like the majority now. No real consteuctive criticism – bias researches and very weak suggestions and thoughts forcing a safe diplomatic narrative at the end just so you can play safe everywhere. I get where you are coming from but this will slowly kill your majority other viewers once they see thru this too tho

39. We’re not there yet, but we will be. Or should I say AI will.

40. You have lost my subscription after this poor excuse for a video.

41. You bring up a good point at the end. Part of the workflow could include a breakdown of your app it's structures and interactions. And then write it again while making improvements from a ground up comparison.

    Really good teaching aid and an essential kit for any entrepreneur

42. dude, you're awesome!

43. genius ad placement😂

44. Great video, mate. Would love to use the CF app 😉

45. I thought AI I was working with had deleted my work …. its response to me was "Calm down! your work is not deleted"

46. wtf… it's not even hidden influencer marketing, actively following the channel for years now, it's the worst I've have seen ever…

47. AI over promised and under delivered. It's a tool, not a magic wand. Now lets clean up the slop and make optimized and safe solutions.

48. Caffeine AI wouldn’t have deleted the database due to its orthogonal persistence

49. All these AI slop is pretty much screwing the whole software industry up since LLM is doing all the stuff and people don't need to care anymore. When people stop caring, that's when the software quality drops.
    Software quality was already dropping before LLM due to all the layers of abstractions over the years, adding AI slop into the mix and we end up with a bunch of slow and buggy software.
    We are already seeing this, just look at all the sudden rise of bugs we got from recent Windows updates.
    Being a software engineer used to be fun, now it is not, unfortunately.
