I propose this: encourage vibe coders to continue coding, then the industry of actual programmers who know what they’re programming will boom because the market will be oversaturated with “need debuggers!”

We feed them the problem of vibe coding, that way we can sell them the solution of real programming.

[u/urthen → u/XboxUser123]

I have this vague sense where senior engineers who learned in the "ancient days" before AI coding will be kept around like Cobol engineers to fix problems in codebases too arcane and complicated for AI (or vibe coders) to understand.

It'll be hilarious. "I deliver twice as much code in a day as you do in a sprint, grandpa!" "Maybe, but my code has to actually work."

[u/Unusual_Flounder2073 → u/urthen]

Injust spent two days tracking down a bug that only shows up in our test platform, but works fine on my Machine. The test platform sucks for power. But guess what happens when production ramps up to full speed. Those calls slow down too. So I spent two days dealing with a slow complicated system to track down the one line of code I needed to fix.

[u/Sufficient_Focus_816 → u/Unusual_Flounder2073]

Curious - what was it?

[u/fullup72 → u/Sufficient_Focus_816]

If speed of the running environment was the issue, 101% of the times it's a race condition.

On your local dev things are finishing in a certain order, in test/production some queries might get slower due to concurrency and that's when it breaks.

[u/dingo_khan → u/fullup72]

Or an eventual consistency-related bug. I have seen those. Someone writes code and tests it with all the infra on one machine. Synching is so fast, they never encounter they created a timing dependency. Deploy it and just the time being worse between machines reveals the assumption / bug.

[u/Naltoc → u/dingo_khan]

That's a race condition. 

[u/dingo_khan → u/Naltoc]

I make the distinction because, if the engineer bothered to know anything about the target system, it is not. It is only one because they ignored the system architecture and decided their machine is representative of everything. It was not unpredictable or random in its emergence and appearance. It was fairly deterministic on the target system. It only looked surprising to them.

Race conditions, as I tend to think of them and had been taught, are uncontrolled and appear nondeterministically. This was just bad design inducing a predictable timing dependency that could not be satisfied.

Basically, if one side never wins, I don't treat it like a race.

[u/Naltoc → u/dingo_khan]

As I was taught, and teach, race conditions are any condition where the outcome depends on which (sub) process finishes first. Sometimes it depends on physical architecture, other times it's entirely software based (scheduler, triggers, batches, etc). 

Saying the engineer is at fault is also very harshly simplifying a problem everyone runs into when working with complex systems, especially the second you use systems you don't control as part of your process. Should this be part of the design? Yes. Is it something that WILL slip through the cracks on occasion? Also yes. Will vibe coding find it? Good fucking luck. 

[u/Ok-Scheme-913 → u/dingo_khan]

A race condition is a race condition - your code either handles all possible order of events or it does not. It doesn't matter if one specific order is very unlikely if everything is this fast/slow or not, that's still incorrect code.

(Though race condition does usually mean only the local multi-core CPU kind, not the inter-network one)

[u/myerscc → u/dingo_khan]

I had one where a service pulled a manifest out of cache and held it in memory across requests, but on part of the code inadvertently mutated it under certain conditions which fucked up other requests. Tests didn’t notice anything wrong- that was tricky to work out

[u/Unusual_Flounder2073 → u/Sufficient_Focus_816]

Related to a feature I was changing. Value used to be just outbound, as a string match for a case statement. New method the third party returns outbound-api with my new feature. It was subtle. And it’s in a callback. And I get 3 callbacks all at once. They process in one order on my speedy laptop. A different order on my test cluster. Probably should have seen it earlier but I was also picking this up from a dev that just left the company.

[u/Darcoxy → u/Unusual_Flounder2073]

If Reddit has a cat tax when mentioning a cat, there has to be a bug tax when mentioning an obscure bug.

[u/AirshipEngineer → u/urthen]

I mean doesn't that already expand a growing problem in tech where new techs aren't being taught very much meaning there is nobody learning to replace the old techs who do know what's happening when they retire.

[u/Constant-Try-1927 → u/AirshipEngineer]

Maybe the new techs need as much time to get to where the old ones are now as they did back then? So 10+ years.
Additionally, training in junior roles gets worse and worse.

[u/AirshipEngineer → u/Constant-Try-1927]

But that's what I'm saying. If new techs are only put on AI generating code (vibe coding) they never learn the skills they need to be a senior dev so the new guys can never replace the old guys when they retire.

[u/tiger32kw → u/urthen]

I have 14 years of normal coding experience and now 1 year of vibe coder. It’s amazing how much it has accelerated my work and made my life easier. Solving advanced problems is night and day from before. 

The problem is, if I didn’t have all my experience then I would end up dumb as a box of rocks. If I had vibe coded since college I wouldn’t know anything other than how to continually prompt AI praying the next response seems to function. Vibe coding really only works because I actually know what I’m doing and can immediately figure out if the AI did something wrong and I need to change something myself.

The senior engineers turned vibe coders are going to rule and there is going to be massive brain drain going forward as AI becomes more prevalent to less experienced engineers.

[u/Prize-Paint5264 → u/tiger32kw]

True and senior engineers can easily ask the right questions to AI which helps to track down the solutions fast.

[u/dingo_khan → u/Prize-Paint5264]

And fix the new issues the AI introduced in the answering process.

[u/Ok-Scheme-913 → u/Prize-Paint5264]

Not really - the more specific/complex your program/question gets, LLMs are just dumb as fuck and will hallucinate in the majority of cases.

[u/Ok-Scheme-913 → u/tiger32kw]

With all due respect, I very much question how much "vibe coding" you actually do - like that would mean almost 100% LLM generated code.

[u/dingo_khan → u/urthen]

Response : "I know. I have to reject ten times as many pull requests a week now."

[u/Sinath_973 → u/XboxUser123]

I come from the world of OS development and believe it or not, there is not actually much of it to find online. Nearly nothing in terms of documentation and barely any tutorials. So the ai is completly oblivious to it.

I love it.

Edit.: i forgot to add the point. The open sourced code is only the tip of the iceberg and will always be that. There is little to no incentive for corporations to open source their code so the stuff that people actually make money of will always be hidden and will always need engineers to actually figure out stuff.

I mean, sure. There are or will be corporate AIs that are fed the corporate code. But especially new and innovative developments will still need minds.

[u/cpc0123456789 → u/Sinath_973]

I have been learning Ada for my government job and the online resources are scarce as fuck. Also AI absolutely sucks at writing Ada. Elon can try to replace us with ai but the people who use my team's code will die if it doesn't work and these guys usually get their way

[u/synack → u/cpc0123456789]

We’re over here https://forum.ada-lang.io

[u/coldblade2000 → u/Sinath_973]

I've had to beg my coworkers to please don't use AI for obscure or new libraries we use. For every 10 minutes my coworkers spent on an LLM pasting code, I then spend an hour explaining why what the AI wrote is nonsensical

[u/Only-Inspector-3782 → u/Sinath_973]

I mean... have these AI evangelists thought about what will happen as AI code is released into the open source used to train AI code gen? 

Having no training data and having garbage training data lead to similar outcomes.

[u/pivorock → u/Sinath_973]

B2Bi also has barely any documentation online. Which makes it very annoying since that what I’m currently working with and don’t have much experience with it. Lots of experimentation and things not working.

[u/Ralliare → u/XboxUser123]

I have a new conspiracy theory. The entire idea of vibe coding and the social media posts around it are all done by a secret cabal of programmers to destroy the industry and raise wages for programmers in the aftermath.

[u/Training-Flan8092 → u/Ralliare]

I think people are just lazy. It’s very easy to write good code with and without AI.

I know people who suck at both. What I will say is it’s easier to teach someone who vibe codes not to suck at it vs teaching a legacy coder that hates you for saying anything about how they write code.

[u/Ok-Scheme-913 → u/Ralliare]

secret COBOL of programmers

They get juicy salaries for working at governments and banks, and now they will even replace YOU!

[u/Fabulous-Possible758 → u/XboxUser123]

Yeah but I need a job now...

[u/roygbivasaur → u/XboxUser123]

Cursor and Copilot are pretty good for automating procedural stuff like unit tests and little refactoring tasks and linting and syntax errors that there aren’t existing codemod and other tools for. The idea that people are doing that and not actually validating the output is bad enough, but writing entire new features or pieces of software without knowing what they’re doing is insane to me.

[u/Training-Flan8092 → u/roygbivasaur]

I hate writing logic to QC huge blocks of code in SQL. It’s not the worst, but when I’m done writing some crazy ass ETL for 3 weeks, the last thing I want to do is write a QC block for my output and CTEs.

This is where I love Grok or GPT. It just shits out QC for each table and a few extra checks. Makes me not hate QC

[u/coldblade2000 → u/roygbivasaur]

That's mostly what I've used it for. That and small simple things that I could easily figure out what to do but the syntax changes a bit between the languages I use like "check if string matches this regex and give me the first match group".

The biggest help I've ever had with AI is when I NEED to implement something in a language I know little about, and I simply don't have time to learn the language properly. It is useful to say "I'm a X developer and want to do Y thing in Z language. How do I do that"

[u/tolndakoti → u/XboxUser123]

Identify a problem. Become the solution. Sounds good to me.

[u/Sure-Government-8423 → u/XboxUser123]

Keep feeding the slop code into new llms as well, we need the output to become sloppier over time.

Push your sloppy code to github now anon, this is your sign to do it.

[u/laserlens → u/XboxUser123]

Yes this. It happened when they thought offshoring was the answer it will happen when they think ai is the way.

[u/well-litdoorstep112 → u/XboxUser123]

the market will be oversaturated with “need debuggers!”

I've actually went and cleaned up a small vibe coded project once and I actually enjoyed it more than debugging human written code.

the naming is already done(the most annoying part for me), it's all over commented so if the AI tried to do anything clever it's never like the coconut.jpg incident, the files are huge and unorganized, lots of dead code, lots of obvious performance overnights.

So I get to do a lot of moving code around, lots of just straight up purging ("+20 -400" kind of commits are so satisfying), getting quick performance wins (10x-100x improvements were not uncommon) giving you that dopamine hit lol.

[u/Taurmin → u/well-litdoorstep112]

so if the AI tried to do anything clever it's never like the coconut.jpg incident

You should know that the coconut.jpg story is a complete fabrication. TF2 did include a coconut.jpg file at one point, but it was just a texture for a particle effect and the game would still run just fine if you deleted it.

[u/Doctor--STORM → u/XboxUser123]

As time goes on, this strategy could result in all proprietary code entering the public domain. In the meantime, it’s concerning that an innovative person might take legal action against their employees for simply helping them. This scenario raises significant challenges ahead.

[u/geekfreak42 → u/XboxUser123]

Vibe coding is real coding IF you are a real coder. If you are not a real coder doesn't matter what tooling you use, you will produce shit

[u/Taurmin → u/geekfreak42]

If you are reading through the AI code and making corrections, you are not "vibe coding" you are just doing AI assisted programming.

Vibe coding as a term refers specifically to getting AI to do all the programming while you just focus on guiding the broader architechture. The whole concept is about developing software entirely through prompts.

Its a stupid term, but can we atleast use it correctly so that it may one day die with the absurd concept that it describes?

[u/windchanter1992 → u/XboxUser123]

get this man some capital and a workforce

[u/crimsonpowder]

2024: AI writes 10% of the code

2025: AI writes 50% of the code

2026: AI writes 95% of the code

2027: AI writes 5% of the code

[u/r2k-in-the-vortex → u/crimsonpowder]

AI can write near enough 100% of the code, but that's not the time and money consuming part of a software project. Code generation by human or by AI isn't really the bottleneck.

[u/lacb1 → u/r2k-in-the-vortex]

Dear BA team, please, pretty please, can you tell me WHERE THE FUCK THE SPEC IS? IT'S BEEN 2 WEEKS! HOW THE FUCK IS THIS DONE YET?! 

[u/IAmASwarmOfBees → u/crimsonpowder]

The only real use (other than "write me a bash command to rename all files in this folder" - level stuff) for AI I've found is writing documentation.

Now hear me out: I never ask it to write the documentation, but I use tts to read it back to me. That way I catch more language errors (I have dyslexia and speak English as a second language).

[u/dingo_khan → u/IAmASwarmOfBees]

I don't think that counts in the sense anyone currently uses the term "AI".

Related: 20 years ago, I wired up opentextsummarizer to a tts to "preview" documentation and papers for me, so I could get a "5 minute feeling" about whether spending the next several hours with this doc was the right decision. Watching people use chatgpt for that sort of thing now, I get it, but my crap solution never hallucinated.

[u/Taickyto → u/IAmASwarmOfBees]

Let's not bash AI entirely, it can be pretty useful as long as you're the one feeding it data

It's been very useful for me, when working on legacy code, to be able to feed it a badly written, 300 lines function, and to ask it "explain what this function does please"

This is something I can do myself (and I have done so in the past), but AI will be much quicker (albeit, sometimes getting things wrong), and will not get frustrated 150 lines in because "oh my god why did he call that purchaseOrderDatatableDisplayDataModel instead of orderList, all conditions are on several lines now because a simple comparison is over 120 chars, also does he not know about early returns? I'm 150 lines into the function and code is already indented by 20 blank spaces, I need coffee"

I also use it often for naming things, you just feed it infos on what the variable represents and get a list of names

Vibe coding tho... I wouldn't even trust AI to write tests for me (it still insists on using Jest even when specifically told to use Vitest)

[u/ProgrammersAreSexy → u/IAmASwarmOfBees]

Oh I definitely use it to write documentation... Gemini 2.5 pro is pretty darn good for this with its massive context window.

I don't submit the documentation as is, but it's great for a first draft. And honestly having zero documentation is a huge problem at a lot of places. AI generated + human reviewed docs is way better than no docs.

[u/orbital_narwhal → u/IAmASwarmOfBees]

Traditional TTS isn't based on machine learning, thus not AI. I understand that there are efforts based on machine learning to make TTS sound more natural and to handle more complicated edge cases (incl. foreign words) more gracefully.

[u/Vogete]

If you're not turning your engineerings into vibe coders, what are you even doing?

Mostly turning a profit by having a working platform.

[u/spikernum1 → u/Vogete]

But the Ai can just tell you it's working now regardless of the output

[u/realsadboihours → u/spikernum1]

You'll literally tell the AI the code doesn't work and it'll just spit out worse code that also doesn't work.

[u/hydroxy → u/Vogete]

The phrase ‘vibe coders’ was intentionally made to be annoying.

[u/VinceMiguel → u/hydroxy]

"Coding"/"coder" was already supremely annoying to me, so "vibe" is just the cherry on top

[u/GenTelGuy → u/Dorkits]

Damn what did this say to get removed by Reddit? Must've been excellent

[u/AMViquel → u/GenTelGuy]

If only there was a way to view an archived copy of comments. Oh wait, there is:

[u/tinselsnips → u/AMViquel]

I've seen direct threats of doxxing ignored by Reddit as it "doesn't violate the content policy", but this got removed?

[u/Protheu5 → u/tinselsnips]

Mentions of violence are removed without nuance or context, they don't try to analyze stuff. I think you may even get a removal if you translate a sentence containing violence in a language learning sub (but I did not try that).

This is stupid and is akin to "scunthorpe problem", it's fundamentally unsolvable, because anyone can come up with billions of alternative wordings (like "i'll play 'count your teeth on the floor' game") and therefore I don't think that they are trying to solve violence, they are merely covering their ass for investors/potential owners/advertisers.

[u/GenTelGuy → u/AMViquel]

Thx, I've done it before on PC but wasn't gonna fiddle with it on mobile - pathetically soft moderation by Reddit

[u/Protheu5 → u/AMViquel]

If only there was a way to view an archived copy of comments.

There was, unddit, removeddit, but then they stopped working and I didn't know about new one.

First of all, thank you for the link.

Secondly, I want to know, where do you learn about new ones when those stop working?

Third, what can I use to download reddit videos? Nothing I googled works for me, they just loop "loading" endlessly with the provided link or don't load at all whatsoever.

[u/Pool-LAN → u/Protheu5]

I use yt-dlp. It downloads videos from pretty much anything. Needs a bit of command-line fuckery but I'm sure there's a gui wrapper for windows.

[u/Pool-LAN → u/AMViquel]

Whenever I use one of those things they never have the deleted comments I want to use them on. I'm sure most people don't bother with them for the same reason.

[u/HandsOfCobalt → u/Dorkits]

woah, this must've been a good one.

[u/Dorkits → u/HandsOfCobalt]

[u/AverageFoxNewsViewer → u/banzomaikaka]

Why was the comment you're responding to removed by Reddit?

[u/banzomaikaka → u/AverageFoxNewsViewer]

Not sure. It was something like 'I want to punch this mf in the face'

[u/Milo_Diazzo → u/AverageFoxNewsViewer]

Threats of violence against corpos are not condoned on this platform. The only comment I ever got removed by reddit was basically following the Johnny Silverhand path on Sony.

"Every vibe we code incurs a technical debt to the GitHub. Sooner or later, the debugging is pain."

[u/OkInterest3109 → u/JosebaZilarte]

And when AI goes through github to scrape, they are just going to feed vibe code back in.

[u/Daddy_data_nerd → u/OkInterest3109]

This is what scares me the most about vibe coding. Eventually that garbage is going to be swept up and reused in a new version of their model.

Garbage in, garbage out. Repeat infinitely.

[u/RedPum4 → u/Daddy_data_nerd]

That's a big problem for generative AI in general. At some point the internet will be chock full of AI generated content, then what is there left to train on? All recent material will be AI generated.

[u/Narfi1 → u/RedPum4]

That and stagnation.

People come up with clever solutions and new projects when they’re facing hard to solve issues. If AI generates some bs code that’s making it work by doing what’s been done before, you’ll save time sure, but things won’t get better, well just have sameish code everywhere

[u/MCMC_to_Serfdom → u/OkInterest3109]

[u/PonyDro1d → u/OkInterest3109]

Feeling the vibe-rations...

[u/aitchnyu → u/OkInterest3109]

People are writing markdown documents for LLMs to keep in "mind" while generating code. So LLMs will act on both slop and up to date practices. Yes, Aider and other tools can also take advantage of the so called cursorrules format.

What are they EVEN DOING

[u/uber_poutine → u/NotMyGovernor]

Delivering a half-viable product with no consideration for maintainability, security, or ability to scale.

Basically, creating messes for developers to clean up (or next gen models? Sourcing clean training data is going to get incredibly difficult, and ouroborosing AI codeslop is a big issue.). 

Give it a year or two to degenerate, but the person who wrote this is probably hoping to be acquired by then.

The greatest mistake of vibe coders (even more than thinking LLMs can code) is not calling themselves tech priests.

[u/K10111 → u/Ok-Kaleidoscope5627]

Perhaps because having any dealings with AI is considered tech heresy. 

[u/starquakegamma]

The people I see advocating LLM generated code are the most absolute shit coders I’ve ever come across, and also C level execs slurping up the snake oil. My god this is the idiocracy moment of software development. The ones I feel the most bad for are the junior devs who are growing up with this shit and becoming unable to think for themselves, it’s not a theoretical it’s happening now.

So that's the guy my manager is following!

[u/IAmWeary]

This guy is a fucking idiot and definitely not a dev. I've tried Cursor. It's usefulness is extremely limited. So much of the code it cranks out is a convoluted mess if it even works at all, and you'll probably have to tell it to fix shit half a dozen times before it gets it right, and that's not even including it adding a single new line as a "fix".

[u/boneve_de_neco]

Those who can build are building, those who can't are shitposting on LinkedIn

Is this the pump and dump scheme but with AI? And this rando an "influencer"? I'm getting intense crypto deja-vu. Replace ai mumbo-jumbo with crypto equivalent to see the difference (or lack thereof).

[u/copperbagel]

Debugging shit code is gonna be real fucking lucrative in 2026

[u/MarthaEM]

why would a company even buy a SaaS product if they could vibe code it themselves?

[u/blehmann1]

Like the implication that B2B SaaS is more tolerable to shitware. Arguably yes, since a lot of it is shitware. But also no one cares if your startup is shitware since a) no one uses it and b) if you're one of the few startups to survive you probably are running little of the original code (either because of rewrites or your product has changed a lot).

[u/null_reference_user]

Anyone knows what company this dude from? I'm sure their SaaS does not have any known security vulnerabilities that would have been avoided by basic standard practices

Your AI will run your startup.

[u/Altruistic-Spend-896 → u/Liquid_Pidgeon]

I wish.....these out of touch idiots ruin it for everyone else.

[u/fumi24]

I should go check GitHub for api keys from vibe coders

[u/MattR0se]

Measuring productivity by amount of prompts is just as bad as measuring by lines of code. 

[u/DatamancerZ]

Now hold on, vibe coders have their place. They cured the imposter syndrome of every senior programmer practically overnight!

[u/jfrench43]

"AI is no where near smart enough to replace human beings but business owners and dumb enough to think that it is"

[u/twenafeesh]

I am convinced that these posts are just faked advertisements for Cursor. Vibe coding only leads to a loss of skills, or never developing them in the first place. 

Also, if "AI" was worth a damn, why would you need "prompt engineers" aka "vibe coders" in the first place?

Current LLMs and Image Models are a lot like early 1990s search engines. There is syntax and specific ways of asking/prompting to get the response you want that requires knowledge. In both cases how you write your query will determine if your desired response is on page 1 or 150.

Thats for prompt engineers, idk wtf vibe coders are supposed to do exactly.

This feels like some Ken Cheng type of post lmao

[u/Vi0lentByt3]

Sweet sweet consultant money is on its way

[u/NeoDark_cz]

"what are you even doing?"
...
Well I do my job

[u/Carl_Bravery_Sagan]

I think a ton of these guys are trolls.

[u/NotMyGovernor]

Guys guys guys guys. Wait for a minute. AI is writing all this shit.

[u/Karuvi_x_ivuraK]

I hope this is satire.

[u/Our-Hubris]

Make sure to overcharge these chumps when they need their AI unfucked lmao.

[u/thisonehereone]

this tracks, to these guys devs are a necessary evil and in the way.

[u/PiousLiar]

Who the fuck is this kid?

[u/MountScottRumpot]

As a customer, what the fuck at I paying for if your code base if 95% slop?

[u/Netan_MalDoran]

Any engineering firm that relies on AI, has no business being in the engineering field with that kind of dogshit IQ.

[u/fosyep]

I refuse to believe this guy is serious

[u/DocStoy]

I checked the LinkedIn, he's on his 6th start up as cofounder/founder

[u/Shienvien]

I'll never be out of job, but the job will be more painful than before.

[u/JaggedMetalOs]

Yes there is nothing I love more than letting an AI put direct database read/write access in my website front end!

[u/Inevitable-East-1386]

That guy is a walking red flag

[u/nikadett]

More like spending 95% of your time arguing with a LLM trying to get it to do what you want.

How many times have you had to correct it, only for it to apologize and say that you are correct?

Now imagine a future where people haven’t learn to code and don’t know when the LLM is correct or not and just go with whatever it generates.

[u/katabolicklapaucius]

Snort. AI + UX

[u/Aaosoth]

I love when douche bags just start making up numbers. "If 900% of your engineers aren't pissing directly into an electrical socket 3000 times a day then what is your business even doing? That's a 20000000% decrease in productivity!"

[u/Classic_Fungus]

My teacher in university said: coding is only 5%. 80% is planning, developing, thinking... All that stuff and last 15% is debugging. He was an old person, nobody liked him, but he told wise things. I use AI too, but AI replaces the 5% of my work, not the 80%. It can write code, but can't think instead you.

[u/Jazzer008]

I’m fairly certain AI was used to write the post as well.

[u/zvadaadam → u/Jazzer008]

the prompt was make it super cringe for LinkedIn

[u/worktogethernow]

So this thing that has never existed before that requires precision timing and careful power management, in a regulated industry, can be made with AI?

Can someone tell me how to do that? It would save me a lot of stress right now.

[u/Al3xutul02]

"turning your engineerings into vibe coders" brah i ain't listening to someone that can't say fucking "engineer" lmao

[u/Mozai]

Last night at this fancy event [I am important listen to me] I heard something irresponsible [you should be ashmed if you agree]: most entrepaneurs aren't buying our product. Your employees should be spending all your budget on my product, and then begging you to take out loans to buy more of my product! If not, then you're going to regret it. In small ventures [inexperienced] at least four out of five should be buying our product. Are you one of our competitors? Closer to nineteen in twenty.

If you're not making your employees dependent upon buying our product, then what are you even doing?

[u/MakkuSaiko]

What am i doing? Software development

[u/heliocentric19]

Hahahahaha. Someone who founded a startup to make a platform just for 'pro nft traders' doesn't have room to talk about 'responsible business decisions'.

[u/happyapy]

Spoken like a rich man who was handed a gravy train to ride and doesn't know how to actually do anything.

[u/adh1003]

If I can just get by for the next 2-3 years to the point where it's all absolutely hit the fan and even the dumbfuck tech bros can't pretend they're right anymore, I'm going to have an absolutely gangbusters career charging serious coin for fixing up the pathetic mess being made by AI-first code practices right now.

The trouble is not ending up losing my house and the shirt on my back in the mean time, since all the jobs in market have totally dried up, Because AI™.

Well, it's not like our industry ever gave a shit about quality, is it? And it's not like us coders ever do much other than blame someone else for the quality of the code we wrote. It's All Management's Fault™, right? So I guess - plus ça change.

[u/Shueisha]

I do somewhat vibe code, I’m learning! This is a terrible idea!

[u/couldbem3]

Context limits joined the chat

[u/bewbsrkewl]

Ew. No.

[u/beisenhauer]

"your engineerings"

This is a big red flag.

[u/NukaTwistnGout]

Omg

[u/NotMyGovernor]

god awful what TF is this endless puke AI push here?

[u/utkarsh_aryan]

Anytime you see YC in someone's bio get ready to hear the shittiest take on AI

[u/wunderbuffer]

I've walked on some "startup meet-up" in similar vibes before AI. They all had 0 businesses and were just producing jargon words, I proposed some collab with one, but they somehow sniffed out my industrious spirit and ability to build stuff and called me on "you're not entrepreneur, you're a worker!" - said lady who's not selling soap for life, because she's not making any and random dropshipping of shit without brand is not sustainable businesses

[u/Itsavanlifer]

Who are these people? I got a look at a vibe coded rails app and wanted to pull my brain out through my nose.

[u/chickey23]

Dear tech bro, please show me a success story. I use AI to try and guess code snippets when I don't know where to look in documentation, but I like to know what I'm shipping and to whom.

[u/Firesrest]

Some random UX guy is definitely the most nonweldable person.

[u/No_Nobody4036]

Can someone start awesome-vibecode or some shit so I know which companies to avoid working with. Thanks

[u/PainOfClarity]

Vibe coding is the stupidest shit I have heard in decades

[u/Wandererofhell]

no way people think like this right, this must be a joke

[u/Space-Robot]

It's unfortunate because there are real advantages it provides but shit like this makes it seem like "ai is useless" vs "ai can do everything"

[u/djengle2]

Dude looks like a villain of course. Or at the least, a massive prick.

[u/TomToms512]

Major boon for those in Cyber, yall will be very employ

[u/Ok_Paleontologist974]

All these people vibe coding aren't seeing just how bad their UI looks because the AI can't follow both the software design and UX. They end up making things visually comparable to early 2000s Roblox games or web 1.0 before the code is such a tangled mess that the AI just starts forgetting CSS or forgetting the structure of JSONs.

[u/1relaxingstorm]

Why do they make it sound like AI generated is over the top of human brains? I don't like how they make it sound. It's funny. More funny with the percentile thing going on

[u/phantom_metallic]

I'm like 80% - 95% sure that is satire.

[u/blackcomb-pc]

Adam has evidently zero experience in programming and also zero understanding about tech in general.

[u/Commercial-Lemon2361]

He works on commission for Anysphere, correct?

[u/HeracliusAugutus]

I hope vibe "coders" continue to bombastically advertise that they're incompetent halfwits, that way they can be blacklisted from every worthwhile org and project.

[u/heavy-minium]

Why at least 80%? Why not 70%?

[u/NorthKoreaSpitFire]

I love this people due to my CyberSec job

[u/UndocumentedMartian]

The vibe coding tweet was a joke! Wtf is wrong with people?

[u/the_star_lord]

AI is a tool to support workers not replace them. Well that's what it should be like. Imo.

[u/TerryHarris408]

This whole post was generated by AI. Also, it's not a red flag - this is all false flag. He just wants vibe coders going out of business.
