I write tonnes of React / JS. Vibe coding seems to be a cult I am not a part of. I snicker when I hear "AI writes 85% of the code in our codebase". It has nev

  I suspect AI does technically write 80% of code I currently generate (mostly writing Go probably inflates that number quite a bit). On a lot of lines I type a couple characters and the AI can complete that line, often times a few lines. But I have to write the strategically important characters, and I fix things when the autocomplete is wrong. That translates to maybe 20-30% increase in productivity because I’m not a coding monkey and my job isn’t just typing. If I ask the AI to generate any 80% of my code without my experienced programmer handholding on every line/few lines, it’s more likely than not hot garbage that takes me longer to fix than writing from scratch. I’ve also generated entire small projects that appear to work, but the underlying code is so poor it’s gonna implode if you keep iterating and adding complexity.
