How depressing. I sure hope it's not irreversible, but I feel it will be, because the number of novice "vibe coders" out there severely outweighs the number of experienced programmers.
hi, lets meet. imo this is bad for the whole community to bad mouth vibe coding with such negative connotations, effectively gate keeping. vibe coding is like a car for people in the age of walking. sure you like to walk, want to keep walking, even enjoy walking, but there is no comparison with how far you will get if you start using a car. you still need to walk to your car and all effectively holds.
I've always wondered this as well, and never seem to get an answer. Why would someone want to do this when they can get a better result either renting in the cloud, or just using a subscription?
Obviously I see the value in having something local from a control and privacy perspective, but it's surely always a net loss in terms of quality and capability of output, right?
To be honest I haven't used o3 or Sonnet as the code I work with is my own proprietary code which I like to keep private, which is one reason for the local setup. For troubleshooting day to day things I have found it at least as good as than the free in-browser version of ChatGPT (not sure which model it uses).
