vibe coders discover "coding"
-
The reason is that humans are expensive, and they don't want to spend their time programming simply if they can get an AI to give them a functioning project with much less time and effort - at least, commercially.

That's basically the logic for malpraxis, so this will end with the vibe code using companies (or small owners) being sued.

Look, if it only cost half as much to ship it, then it will only cost half as much to rewrite it, right?

Who needs pesky humans ruining the good vibes? Just bring more vibes bro.
A different AI every day should get the vibes vibing again!

And I am gonna laugh and laugh and laugh.

I did see a job post for a role that was just reviewing AI code. This is all terrible

So this is real not satire? I once also thought the whole flat earth thing is satire but unfortunately it's not

There really is no greater pleasure and no greater value adding activity for a Senior Dev than to wade through masses of code produced by pretty much understanding-free copy & paste from stackoverflow by an automated version of the most junior and clueless coder imaginable.

In my experience I tried to come into a vibe project as a reviewer, and it felt completely unreadable with no underlying principles to hold on to. Like every function was written by a different guy almost.
Now you totally can stuff the context with instructions about how to do everything. And then add 50x mcps to retrieve documentation and policy about how to write the thing, but this is like cheating on an exam by remembering the answers. You already supplied enough context to write the thing yourself.
Wait... Vibe projects are a real thing? I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE JOKING!

god imagine how depressing dev would be if all programmers did was clean up AI slop.
I really don't think people realize how opaque and circuitous some of this shit is.

This is your brain on marketing
-
So, if you worked on it first, do you get a discount for watching and helping, because it doesn't add up?

An acquaintance of mine has basically been doing this for years in the form of slop code written by the cheapest outsourcing firms on earth who cannot comprehend rudimentary requirements and have no concept of coding standards. But management insists this is the most cost effective way of doing things, rather than just having a competent group of qualified people do it right from the start.
It seems as depressing as you'd think.

Considering how LLMs work, you might be right.

Yeah god that sounds like a nightmare.

Now go a bit further and ask yourself why you should be replicating humans at all when you can just use humans.

This is software engineering and apply basic of statement logic, the hourly rate is the last if statement that was true.
Personally, I make it acccumlate the rate for a max rate of $520 when all if statements match.

It would be like taking your compiled machine code and editing it by hand because your compiler sucks.
Just use the right tool from the start.

If you vibe coded it, 300/hr
