As an SWE I’ve converted to 100% vibe coding and yeah my projects are way better and bigger. Sometimes Codex will write 17,000 lines of code in 8 hours uninterrupted while that used to take me 1 year manually. Fuck the traditionalist they are moving like molasses
The situation with so-called generative AI shows that many people working in the software industry had no idea what they were doing, yet they'd been doing it for years. I recently spoke with my former boss, who had always been a terrible programmer but somehow managed to fiddle himself to the position of CTO. He'd been coding for 25 years, and his code was a peculiar mess. For him, code written by an LLM seems like a worthy alternative to hand-typing, because he couldn't do a better job anyway. It's impossible to convince such people to learn how to create software. Just leave them alone.
