These tools have already peaked usage, and even its greatest proponents are questioning its viability, see: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/is-vibe-coding-dying https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/is-vibe-coding-dying I'm under the impression a lot of these tools are: 1. Aggressively pushed by VCs on company boards. 2. Productive of code that is not maintainable and becomes very difficult to deal with when it is non-trivial. 3. Not what customers want. Don't get me wrong, I use LLMs and LLM tech in my work*, they are useful and interesting products, but they are a small part of the work and a small part of the product. Sure, there are people who use them extremely effectively, but those people are offset by those who have LLMs write code they don't understand and do not review (leading to a scenario where code is effectively ghost code often without even provenance back to the LLM that wrote it). It seems to me that layoffs in tech are partly a cultural contagion in executive circles, but more importantly it seems to me like offshoring is much more responsible. [*]: Mainly for codemods and reorganization of code, where I'm not really changing the intent of the code but its structure.
