AI Coding Has Limits
Circuit Cellar
|October 2025
Are you feeling the vibe? I’m not talking about the atmosphere down at the restaurant that’s too busy to take your reservation—I’m talking about the vibe that seems like it’s putting programmers out of business faster than a return to the abacus. Vibe Programming is a real thing; whether it’s a really good thing remains a very active question.
Promises, Promises: Vibe coding is the current term for using a well-crafted prompt to get an large language model (LLM) AI engine to write software for you. It seems to finally fulfill the software promise launched with COBOL: Simply tell the computer what you want it to do in plain language and your algorithmic wish will be granted. No more learning complicated programming languages, no more late nights counting semicolons, no more taking the time to set up the scripts to link, load, and compile code—just plain, ordinary words typed into a prompt screen.

IR Images Come to Your Cellphone
In this article Brian uses a Melexis MLX90640 IR camera module coupled to an ESP32 controller. He streams the image data to a web browser running on a cell phone, tablet, or computer, eliminating the need for a dedicated color LCD. Together, this makes for a very low-price IR camera.
