The developers can’t debug code they didn’t write. This is a bit of a stretch.

    Some can’t because they never acquired to skill to read code. But most did and can.

    agreed. 50% of my job is debugging code I didn’t write.

  • I mean I was trying to solve a problem t’other day (hobbyist) - it told me to create a function foo(bar): await object.foo(bar) then in object function foo(bar): _foo(bar) function _foo(bar): original_object.foo(bar) like literally passing a variable between three wrapper functions in two objects that did nothing except pass the variable back to the original function in an infinite loop add some layers and complexity and it’d be very easy to get lost

    I think it highly depends on the skill and experience of the dev. A lot of the people flocking into the vibe coding hype are not necessarily always people who know how about coding practices (including code review etc …) nor are experienced in directing AI agent to achieve such goals. The result is MIT prediction. Although, this will start to change soon.
