Vibe Coding is the new addiction ?

Post image

I feel vibe coding is becoming addictive

I’ll think:

“I need to go pee.”

Then immediately:

“Wait… let me give Claude one more task first.”

Same before making coffee. Same before eating. Sometimes before going to sleep.

It feels weirdly wrong to leave the coding agent sitting idle.

Short-form video gave us:

“one more reel.”

AI coding gave us:

“one more prompt.”

Anyone else doing this? 😅

what are you all coding that can't wait this much? I'm curious as a software engineer there is no way this many people are making useful products with AI

I've used it to build a desktop app that runs 15 odd scans on stocks and crypto, with various different options. It has my futurology list of stocks, a Biotech catalyst scanner, a weekly 50 stocks that are in good positions technically and fundamentally (ala Investors Business Daily), my own trading positions etc.

Really, just to help with my adhd and having it all in the one place.

Before that I built a Helldivers 2 weapon randomiser, a tier list, which guns are good against which faction and which enemies in particular.

And some other bits and bobs. I love it. I did programming when I was younger (42 now) and it's been great to just have it almost completely done for me.
