This gave me a good laugh, but a very real problem we’re trying to solve! > **[I swear, every week I meet one. | Leah Tharin | 59 comments](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/leahtharin_i-swear-every-week-i-meet-one-activity-7360716358117908483-UOUs?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADFaiYIBrL6Exq-bZc8VLLJwitTkwPrp2qg)** > > I swear, every week I meet one. | 59 comments on LinkedIn It can be painful trying to talk to people, maybe we could get a few tips from AI? ---

ha! that’s pretty great. The dopamine hit of spinning the vibe code wheel is real! ---

That it is! It feels so good sometimes you don’t even know what you’re doing wrong, haha ---

That sounds like an even better path to getting addicted 🤣 ---

The question is, once you’ve had a hit or two, how do you keep the vibes going? Prototyping only gets trickier. ---

Yeah. Working with AI falls short once the problem (more specifically, the code) gets more complex. But, which might mean that we need to understand how far we can really code with vibes only to get the outcomes that we really want. ---

This was a funny thread to find 😅 seems to me like vibe coding should be for opening up the problem space at the start of an initiative, not necessarily providing a detailed solution ---

I think that’s actually something that one of our assessment feedback pieces highlights (the PDF we received). AI is great for initial starts, getting the ball rolling, etc. Also, if you break the problem down in these more complex spaces, the more AI can work for you. If anything, it’s a highly optimized gap filler. The bigger the gap, the less efficient AI is.
