Vibe Coding in the 90s

In the 90s, Vibe coding revolutionized the way code was written by providing a CD-ROM full of public domain sample code for various applications. With ready-to-run projects and libraries for different functionalities, programming became more accessible and efficient. The availability of comprehensive documentation like PROMPT.TXT, SPEC.TXT, and API.TXT made understanding and modifying projects easier for even beginners. Vibe coding enabled quick development of projects like a file manager or a 3D game, sparking creativity and excitement in software creation. The article suggests that with the abundance of libraries and projects, the need for traditional programming may eventually diminish.
