No, the article’s title is definitely clickbait. The author didn’t teach his dog to vibe code games (that’s what the title on the blog is) – he taught his dog to be rewarded when he types random keystrokes on the keyboard. The vibe-coding is inconsequential – the dog doesn’t play the game, he’s just in it for the treats –, the author just wants the attention because he gets people to believe the dog DID vibe code.
It will stop being clickbaity if the author decides to let his dog respond to stimuli related to the game he’d be building with a feedback loop.
If my employer stopped rewarding me with treats (and health insurance) my vibe keyboard presses would cease too, if we are being honest :)
It's interesting as commentary, if you choose to read into it as if it were analogous to vibecoding by humans.
Doesn't matter, I don't consent to misleading titles influencing what articles I choose to read.
Very HN-like comment. Really channels Dwight. Made me smile, thank you.
I read it in "Comic Book Guy's" voice, but the effect is the same. Peak HN commentary.
