AI tools can make coding easier, but they can also introduce subtle errors that can turn out really bad if you're not careful.

AI tools can simplify coding but can also introduce errors. The post highlights the importance of verifying AI-generated code, particularly when using language models for coding tasks. It discusses the challenges of handling environment variables in Next.js and cautions against blindly trusting AI-generated solutions without thorough checks.

Going beyond vibe coding

<p>Vibe coding should be used for repetitive task on a project, like creating ui components or boilerplates. For implementing an complete architecture or complex algorithms, that should be used with caution.</p>


<p>Vibe coding - aka using AI for assistance. Is a good idea but not great. We already use a form of “vibe coding” when we use extensions in our editors to help catch misspellings, adjust or format code indents. These are things we’re used to because we know, most time what to look out for. However, and this is the big one. Vibe coding as you call it isn’t a good choice for anyone starting out. First you must know what you’re doing. A.I. can help with your code but if you don’t know what you’re doing it’s like driving a car for the first time. You can read about it all you want but once you’re behind the wheel it’s a whole new ball game. So &quot;vibe coding, what a stupid term IMO. I’ll call it assisted coding is best left to those who know enough to get themselves out of the trouble they get into.</p>
