Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand

Vibecoding, a method that uses brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to allow users to code by thinking, is not as enjoyable as writing code by hand, according to a recent study. The study, which used a BCI system to convert brain signals into code, found that participants preferred writing code manually. The study suggests that the cognitive process of writing code by hand is more engaging and enjoyable than the more passive experience of using a BCI. The researchers also found that participants who used BCIs reported feeling more anxious and fatigued compared to those who wrote code by hand.
