The article explores the concept of 'vibe coding' as discussed by Ashley Willis, emphasizing its potential to streamline application development. The author finds the iterative, conversation-based nature of vibe coding fascinating, allowing for the automatic scaffolding of layouts and routes that saves both time and mental energy. This approach allows developers to shift their focus to more engaging aspects of a project. An example cited involves the shorthand representation of large numbers in idle clicker games, showcasing how creative solutions can enhance user understanding and engagement in applications.
It scaffolds layouts, creates routes, fills in placeholder content, basically roughs out the shape of the thing I described. I still review it, refactor it, test it, and shape it into something I'd actually ship. But that first pass? It saves me hours. And more importantly, it frees up mental space so I can focus on the interesting parts.
Anything that helps get me to the 'fun' parts of a project is, usually, a tool worth having in my toolbelt.
For numbers in the trillions and lower, they will abbreviate to a shorthand form and use the letters K, M, B, and T to indicate the value.
It's easy to grok the scale and apparent that 100DD is less than 9AAA.
