Given an entire industry is cropping up to fix the mess these people make, I think less of them care then you think.

- xkbarkar 1y agoHard disagree. Vibe code has its downsides but is not nearly as terrible as threatened coders on the forums make it seem.
- scuff3d 1y agoIt's not a threat to software engineers at all. These things are worse than useless when someone who doesn't know what they're doing tries. If anything they're going to create jobs. Vibe coders are the new script kiddies.
- _joel 1y agoIs it an industry, or just a meme job title? Serious question.
- scuff3d 1y agoThere have been plenty of articles about it recently, seems real enough to me.
- _joel 1y agoI wonder if that's sustainable though, as either the tools get better or companies realise it's not a magic bullet? Time will tell.
- scuff3d 1y agoIt's not. The cost of fixing the garbage will outweigh any savings on the front end. Any experienced dev will tell you it's easier to spend a little extra up front to make things more maintainable then it is to fix a mess later. And even the tools get better, they'll never get to the point where you don't need experts to utilize them, as long as LLMs are the foundation.
