Vibe coding is a thing ! I tried Vibe coding with Wispr Flow + Cursor.ai, and here are my thoughts

I recently tried my hands at vibe coding, a term coined by Andrej Karpathy. For this, I used Cursor AI, and for dictation, I used Wispr Flow. A few key things to keep in mind while going for vibe coding: 

  • Your AI dictation tool is very, very important. In my case, Wispr Flow did a great job.
  • If the AI dictation is poor, the entire flow of vibe coding gets disturbed.  
  • Your LLM is also quite crucial. If the LLM is weak, you are going to bang your head. 

Initially, I was a little perplexed between Wispr Flow and superwhisper- the two major tools for AI dictations out there. But later, I chose Wispr Flow because of a couple of reasons:

  • Wispr Flow is available for both Mac and Windows, while superwhisper is just for Mac. 
  • The error rate for Wispr Flow is any day better than superwhisper. 
  • Punctuation handling is better for Wispr Flow
  • Latency-wise, Wispr Flow is any day better. 

Do let me know which tools you are using that are better than Cursor AI and Wispr Flow.
