So no joke, vibe coding has other real world equivalents.
I always struggled to explain how my ex cooked because it was always a toss up if it ended well, but she was definitely a "vibe cook."
Recipe calls for searing? Fry it on a pan, flip it over fry it on the other side until cooked all the way through. Recipe calls for cream of potato? Cream of celery is fine. The only seasoning is pepper and salt? Eh, can't hurt to use mixed seasoning salt used for burgers. Saute? Nah, just throw it in a pan.
Braised? Broiled? It's cooked.
Ribs call for 18 hours on Low heat? 4 hours on high will do it.
Vibe coding is a way to generate crap for people who are crap at coding and for users that are used to crap.
I mean, some of those things are just because online recipes are usually shit. You can pretty much always use a spice blend instead of salt and pepper, you can always add Chile powder at any concentration you desire, and you should always double the garlic (at least). Granted, some of this is because most recipes are written by AI nowadays.
