The author expresses strong opposition to the term "vibe coding," finding it unappealing, while sharing their experiences using generative AI for coding. They describe a recent attempt using Claude's desktop app to generate JavaScript code that transforms images into simplified pixel art. Although the generated code explained its function well, it did not work as expected due to CORS issues when using images from different domains. The author found debugging challenging but pursued corrections with the AI's assistance, highlighting both the potential and limitations of AI-driven coding.
I am 100% against the term 'vibe coding'. The name itself strikes me as horrible, yet using gen AI for coding has been interesting.
I prompted it to correct the issue: 'This doesn't properly update the original image when used. I can see the code running but the result is a blank image'
The AI generated code successfully created a core function for converting images to pixel art and provided a detailed explanation of its process.
I couldn't find an obvious error despite the generated code initially failing. It did display a new image in the DOM, but it was blank.
