So the core idea is that “vibe code hell” is when learners lean on AI to churn out passing code without building real understanding, so the fix is to turn off autocomplete/agents while learning and use chatbots only for Socratic guidance, citations, and concept checks—embracing discomfort to grow fundamentals. Interesting that long-form tutorials are fading even as “learn to code” interest stays high, this illustrates how LLM “sycophancy” can talk you into opposite conclusions on the same facts—hence their push for opinionated aides like “Boots” that won’t give answers but nudge you to think.
