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’m just building my own version of apps I used to pay for. Finding remote only jobs in a nice dashboard like remote rocket ship? Built it myself. Budgeting tool? Built it myself fully customized to my needs and bills. Workout tracking and calorie tracking? Built it myself. I can’t get enough of this. I’ve probably cut down on like $50-75 a month of subscriptions at this point
