Before current AI/LLM shenanigans, there were a lot of “no code” visual programming solutions aimed at allowing novices to write software without using any code. Software like Microsoft Power Automate, which provides users with a list of predefined commands which they can drag-and-drop onto a flowchart. When a user clicks the play button, the commands in the flowchart execute in order.

This sort of system is great for novices, allowing people who do not have experience programming (people like you, apparently) to create simple programs that do useful things. But they are not great for experienced developers. As a project grows in complexity, so does the need to get into the code itself and tinker around to fix the nitty gritty details. But these visual programming solutions do not offer the ability to fix the nitty gritty. You are stuck only refining the high-level details, which is often not enough to solve your problem.

Traditional vibe coding with languages like JavaScript, C++, etc. can potentially work because an LLM spits out actual programming code that ostensibly does something. And if a developer needs to tweak that code to work a little differently, they hypothetically can.

So, “vibe code without the code” probably means to speak to an LLM and have it spit out one of those minorly-editable flowcharts. You get the benefits of vibe coding and the detriments of visual programming. You don’t know what to do to fix it, and you can’t fix it anyway because the tools don’t let you.

It’s probably some app engine that lets product teams enter prompts without even giving the option to view the code.

Vibe coding typically needs to be double-checked to make sure that it does what it’s actually supposed to because LLMs are notoriously prone to hallucinations. This ad suggests that their AI is better and you don’t need to double check it.

But what’s probably more likely is that they’re just trying to break searches for “ai bubble.”

jokes on you, google chatbot won’t know about it because it was made past cutoff date

Like serverless applications …

Dammit Jenkins Gemini, you did it again! You are a genius!

Fixed that for you.

When I was in Boston they had screen ads like that and the tiles look familiar. Might be NYC? Not many other options in the US, idk about other countries. I don’t think you can dox someone just knowing that they’re white and they ride the T.

Oh yeah there’s a lot of them and they’re terrible.

I like that someone edited one so instead of saying “one click: job done” it said “one click: job gone”
