I just noticed that now that I have an AI powered system, I don't write code anymore. I do, but not in the way I used to. I tell the computer what to do, and it does it.
I used to be a full stack engineer wearing so many different hats, and accidentally write JavaScript in my CSS, now I don't even know what the code I wrote looks like.
The Joy of Vague Commands
With Proxy AI private LLM, all I do is tell it what I need. Here are some common commands:
- Make server faster.
- Enhance Db speed.
- Reduce server cost.
- Make website look better.
- Add more engagement in the homepage.
That last one is key to my workflow now. Every morning, I look at analytics, and if the page is getting less visitors, I just say "Add more engagement on X" and I watch the metrics rise again.
In the background, the code is written, updated, packaged and deployed. The servers scaled or dropped. and of course, the stock market is scanned, it buys stocks low, sell them, set some aside for uncle sam, then pays for the service we need.
Claiming My Place in History
I like to coin the term Vibe Coding before anyone else does because I think it's the sort of things people like to be remembered by. In my case, I just want to make sure I can reserve it for an upcoming book I'm considering writing.
Here at Proxy AI, we like to take everything to the next level, to ensure we compute at the edge of technology, and trust the tech to leap frog us into the future.
Fun fact, we have no competitor. This is an area ripe for new challengers, but at the same time, it's pretty hard to compete with us.
The Genius of Vague Instructions
The beauty of Vibe Coding is in its elegant simplicity. Traditional engineers waste time with specific requirements and technical details. With Vibe Coding, precision is the enemy of progress.
Yesterday, I needed a new recommendation algorithm for our platform. Old me would have researched papers, studied math, and spent weeks implementing complex code. New me simply typed: "Make users click more stuff they'll probably like." Boom. Done in 17 seconds.
Is the implementation a sophisticated collaborative filtering model or just a random number generator that sometimes picks things people clicked before? I genuinely have no idea. But our metrics are up 3%, and I spent the afternoon teaching my son how to say "computational complexity" instead of debugging.
Domestic Applications of AI Magic
My wife was initially skeptical about Proxy AI ("Another tech project that will burn down the house?"), but she's coming around. Last week, she complained about our grocery shopping system. Rather than creating a detailed solution, I simply told Proxy AI: "Make food appear in fridge without me doing stuff."
Three days later, our credit card was connected to seventeen different delivery services, our garage door opener was synchronized with various delivery apps, and a small army of gig workers has been cycling through our property. Food appears, money disappears from our account, and everyone's happy.
My wife did mention something about "budget concerns," but I just told Proxy AI to "make money situation feel better" and now all our banking apps display account balances in Zimbabwean dollars, making us instant trillionaires.
Enterprise-Grade Vibes That Actually Work
You might think this approach lacks the rigor needed for enterprise applications. You'd be wrong. Last month, our largest client (a Fortune 500 company that shall remain nameless, but rhymes with AT-AT from star wars) asked for a "military-grade security system" for their data.
Old me: Three months of security audits, encryption implementations, and penetration testing
Vibe Coding me: "Make data super duper secure, like military stuff"
The system implemented 47 layers of security, including one that requires authentication via our proprietary microdata refinement. Is it effective? The CTO claims our security is "unprecedented and bewildering," which I'm taking as high praise.
The Future of Feeling-Based Development
I'm already working on Vibe Coding 2.0, where you don't even need to type instructions. The system just senses your mood and implements whatever you might want. Having a stressful day? Your code automatically simplifies. Feeling ambitious? Watch as features you vaguely thought about materialize before your eyes.
I tested a prototype on my twins last week. When my daughter was crying, Proxy AI automatically ordered a new teddy bear, dimmed the lights, and played lullabies. When my son looked bored, it created a virtual reality game featuring dancing dinosaurs wearing our neighbor's faces.
My wife claims there are "serious privacy implications" after Proxy AI ordered 50 pounds of diaper cream based on a slight facial expression I made while changing our son, but innovation always has critics.
Conclusion: Vibes Over Syntax
As we move forward in this brave new world, remember: specific instructions are so 2023. The future belongs to those who can masterfully convey vibes to their AI systems.
In the coming month, I'll be launching our public API with three new endpoints:
/make-better/fix-stuff/do-the-thing-you-know-the-one
Coming soon: "Why source control is just preserving bad vibes," "How I completed a 2-year digital transformation by telling AI to 'make business more digitally transformed and stuff'," and "The day my AI proxy got promoted above me at work."
