Vibe Coding Group Weekly Roundup: Oct 5
Short questions about what counts as vibe coding led the group in the week of October 5. A post asking why people rarely vibe code games drew 322 comments, and a member who can already code asked whether using AI makes him a vibe coder. The image feed was full of jokes about AI assistants and members' desk setups.

Could you build something like Claude yourself?

Replies split the job in two: the agent harness is doable, training a frontier model costs millions or more, and fine tuning is the realistic path.

Yeah vibe coding is a mode. You vibe code because it lessens the stress, than typical programming. if you use A.I for real projects you are a Programmer but AI assisted.
It's like I know how to hammer a nail with a hammer but I use a nail gun anyway
Measuring the lines of code as some sort of measure of quality or productivity or complexity is like measuring the sawdust of a carpenter building a house.
I’m competing in a competition right now, that requires building out a portion of your own agentic harness and training a model. Claude code the harness, is very simple to recreate if you know what you are doing. Training a model the size of any of the Claude products from scratch is a multi million dollar endeavor.
