[Ferhat Elmas · Rating 1 out of 5]

It's pure riding the wave, not much material on top of his blog posts (I read early release so could change a bit later on but I don't expect drastic shift according to what I saw). It's wrongly mixing AI-assisted coding with vibe coding. On top, I can't really guess who the target is because nothing useful for the experienced and especially confusing for juniors. Use the tools but skip the book.

If you want to learn what vibe coding is and what you should expect beyond vibe coding, this book is a good read. However, if you are looking for a hands-on, practical advice how to use AI tools in specific situations, the book offers just a small fraction of what you can find in write-ups, tutorials, and blog posts on the web.
