I know I’m gonna get flamed for this, but here goes. I have vibe coded a system at work that has enabled me to deliver value in a fraction of the time I expected. My verification steps have been around whether it does the things I told it I wanted it to do. I’m not maintaining the syntax and I’m not expecting anyone else to. Ever. That said, our teams that deliver products that touch customer data or financial records…they shouldnt (and dont) engineer this way. The tech isnt there (yet). Let the flaming commence.

“…enabled me to deliver value in a fraction of the time I expected.” I don’t wanna flame you for it. This is kinda where I see vibe coding taking off the most: The same phenomenon as using LLMs to summarize and reply to pithy business emails. Business gets so unbearably businessy, people are using machines to bypass the inherently un-human “professionalism performance” for them. It might not be work anybody can claim to be proud of, but right now success for the professional-managerial class runs on looking busy and circling back to synergizing the workflow with best practices for optimal returns regarding key performance metrics 🤢 or whatnot. I don’t blame people for it, in a work context. Looking impressive with AI tools is now a survival tactic when working under normies holding the purse strings and investing stupid amounts of money into the bubble. They’ve forced people to be part of a circular, self-reinforcing imaginary reality they’re profiting from. So, I don’t wanna flame you. I just hope you’re doing something fundamentally human to keep your soul alive on the side, at least. Something you as a unique human being on this earth can be proud of. <3
