A lot of companies use "vibe coding" an excuse to offshore software development work to cheaper countries without anyone noticing.

But yeah it's not gonna work out in the long term for a business that:

  • Encourages people to submit random nonsense to the codebase instead of doing actual work
  • Removes all entry-level positions
  • Lays off anyone who knows what they're doing

That's how you get a codebase that kinda sorta works in a way but is more evolved than designed, full of security holes, slow as heck, and disorganized to the point where it's impossible to fix bugs, adds features, or understand what's going on.

    Well, one of the ways *glancing at the code I'm responsible for, sweating profusely*

    Yeah, idk what parent poster is talking about. I totally didn't spend the bulk of yesterday afternoon redoing a small project from scratch because I couldn't decipher what I did two months ago. Nope. That would be ridiculous! So glad my human-written code is so much better than AI code.
