I don’t mean the expression; I mean the pro- and anti- AI debate over vibe coding versus writing code by hand reminds me of the debate in bodybuilding over steroid users versus “natty”. Especially all the witch hunts in indie game communities over AI generation are just like people questioning if a bodybuilder is really natural if they claim to be. An idea I saw repeated on forums 10-15 years ago was steroids were just “a short cut” and the bodybuilders using them could have gotten there naturally; it would just take them longer. This is not actually true. Why I started thinking about this is I remain convinced I could have written the project I’m working on with Claude Code by hand; it would have just taken me longer. submitted by /u/valdocs_user
