> If You’re Going to Vibe Code, Why Not Do It in C?
Or assembly, or binary
Yes, this is a completely valid take and it is the ultimate answer to why vibe coding, the way most people define vibe coding is a dead end.
The point is we want the LLM to generate code that is first and foremost readable by humans and structured in such a way that a human can take over control at any time.
If you think this is how LLM should generate code, congratulations we are already in agreement.
If you think programmers should not exist and that you will help your bottom line by reducing the number of programmers on your payroll or worse, completely eliminate programmers from your payroll by paying product managers who will never ever look at the code (which is required for vibe coding the way I understand it), then this question at the top is for you.
c is a small language thus more understandable and readable than others? e g. java,rust,c++ can get really complicated to read sometimes.
python though is very readable, not so much for typescript for me.
