The Reverse Junior or Debunking the Main Myth of Vibe-Coding
Yesterday (November 27), Habr hosted an 'Author's Fireside Chat'.It was very interesting, and one of the speaker's statements struck me. It was that AI can help write simple pieces of code but doesn't work with complex things. Thus, large language models are likened to a junior programmer.I decided to write an article about it this morning, drawing on my knowledge and experience in computational mathematics. Let me know what you think.I think this is the main myth of vibe-coding. It's exactly the opposite — AI is good at writing quite complex things and retrieving important information that is difficult to find on your own. But it gets confused in the most elementary things. It's a reverse junior.The problem is that this is a dangerous illusion, and I will now clearly explain why, and how it can be dangerous. Brew some coffee and get ready for a debunking that might save your millions, your career, or even human lives in the future.The Gist
