If I was 14 and had an interest in coding, the promise of ‘vibe coding’ would absolutely reel me in. Most of us here on Lemmy are more tech savvy and older, so it’s easy to forget that we were asking Jeeves for .bat commands and borrowing* from Planet Source Code.
Lol I remember when I was around pre-school / kindergarten age and I was asking family members how to spell words so I could type into a Windows 3.1 “run program” dialog box “make sonic game”.
I feel you, and I agree that as a learning tool that’s probably how it’s being used (whether that’s good or bad is a different topic), but the fact that they immediately talk about having to pay a dev makes it sound like someone who isn’t trying to learn but trying to make a product.
