Cool, but running qwen3 and doing a ls tool call is not “vibe coding”, this reads more like a lazy ad for localforge
I doubt it can perform well with actual autonomous tasks like reading multiple files, navigating dirs and figuring out where to make edits. That’s at least what I would understand under “vibe coding”
What *is* vibe coding? And how can I stop hearing about it for the rest of my life?
The real definition of vibe coding is coding with just an LLM. Never looking at what code it outputs, never doing manual edits. Just iterating with the LLM and always pressing approve.
It is a viable way of making software. People have made working software with it. It will likely only ever be more prevalent but might be renamed to just plain old making apps.
‘If it works it ships’
Definitely try it, it can navigate files search for stuff, run bash commands, and while 30b is a bit cranky it gets the job done (much worse then i would get when i plug in gpt-4.1, but its still not bad, Kudos o qwen. As for localforge, it really is a vibe coding tool, just like claude or codex, but with the possibility to plug more than just one provider. What's wrong with that?
They're just pointing out how most -educational- content is actually marketing in disguise, which is fine, but also fine to acknowledge i guess, even if a bit snarkily
Well its an oss project, free, I kind of didnt see it that way i guess, that something thats given for free is bad-tone to market in any possible way. Iguess from my standpoint its more of a, I just want to show this thing to people, because I am proud of it as a personal project, and it brings me joy to just, put it out there And since if you "just put it out there" it will sink to the bottom of the HN pit, why not get a bit more creative.

You should try it. It's trained for tool calling and thinks before taking action.
