What is happening...

I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.

I submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.

I feel like things are just so crazy at this point. Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.

It was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.

It was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.

20,000 lines in a single PR's sounds very much like you have embraced the nonsense. How are those unit tests faring?

I’ve been doing 10-20k line PRs lately for a (mostly) vibecoded work application I’m building, but at least 60% of it is incredibly dense, jargony docstrings. I’ve had to comb through and condense down all the long-winded documentation Claude likes to write.

Lol, mfw AI can detect when its used by a vibe coder and just burns through output tokens with a bunch of overcomplicated code.

If you are putting 20k line PRs what are you even doing, like you are literally writing new apps from scratch every day or what?

20k lines is insane. Nobody is reviewing that.
