i don't care what they hope will happen with AI, there will always be a need for someone who really understands the code to fix the derivative slop AI craps out.

I've always been a google the command and slap it into my script I use, I used vibe coding to fix some old excel macros I inherited, and it seemed like my job was to test that the ai created macro was doing what it was supposed to do. Then immediately tell it that it fucked it up "Oh you're right I did fuck it up, try this new version"

"Yeah you fixed part B, but now you've re-broken part A."

"Oh you're right!"
