This is my sandbox profile where I'm experimenting with an unconventional approach to coding that I've been calling "vibe coding" β inspired by Andrej Karpathy's concept of "vibe-driven development" in the context of neural networks.
The gist is simple: I barely know the syntax of any programming language. Instead of writing code, I try to "negotiate" with an AI (mostly Google Gemini), describing ideas and logic in plain human language. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
I often doubt my own competence, but I'm fascinated by the process itself: is it possible to create useful things by acting more like a "human-to-machine translator" with an AI as the intermediary? These projects are my attempt to answer that question.
- Idea: A thought pops up, like "What if I made a thing that does...".
- Dialogue with AI: I start describing this idea to Gemini. It offers the first version of the code. I run it, see errors, describe them back to the AI, clarify what I meant, and we repeat this loop over and over.
- Result: Eventually, if I have enough patience, an application emerges. All the code in my repositories was written by an AI under my direction.
