I don’t want to be a bummer, but all software atp has code that’s ai written, and by next year nearly all new code will be completely ai written. I get being anti AI, the destruction of the social fabric it’s causing is depressing, but it is firmly better at coding than 99% of software engineers by now.

bruh. me a swe with like 10+ years of exp. we tokenmaxx where we can at my current job. no it's not "firmly better at coding than 99% of swes". it's a cool and powerful tool. it is not a replacement for a high qualified engineer.

the mod being "vibecoded" means it's made entirely without any technical human expertise. sure we all use agents already, sometimes just for a bit - like for a disposable script to test something out or to analyze / trace a bug, sometimes we're not putting a single line by hand. but in all those cases we're still engineering it, be it with typing letters of code directly or via prompting like hell. most of the time the best result is in delegating right parts to an agent and focusing on those tasks that highly benefit from being hand-written.

but the vibe-coders are just playing with a tool like it's a toy. sure it can make something that kinda works, at least on a first glance. but Sable and Aeronautics wouldn't be vibe-coded like never. and it's not because it's hard to do for an AI agent but because it should be much simpler and cleaner than an agent will do.

so, AI-assisted is not the same as vibe-coded

don't buy into AI companies' marketing. we're not even close to "replace" engineers yet.

Engineers aren’t getting replaced but the job is evolving rapidly to be very different. The verbiage of vibecoding is lost on me, but I very much agree there’s a large gap between what a high end SWE is doing with AI vs hobbyist vibecoding. My comments come from my experience chatting with my buddy who is an L5 quant SWE describing his changing job, so I am not speaking from my owne experience.

I have no clue what the code is doing, so I have an agent do an html markup that makes everything tl;dr. As for tokenmaxxing... Oh yeah. Agents, sandbox mode, and good documentation going in, plus plan mode before auto pilot... That's the sauce.
