NGL I like it. Definitely illustrates the bubble we are in. AI has it’s uses, and vibe coding isn’t one of them (except maybe basic prototypes
)and based on the nightmares I’ve seen, not even that.
The majority of a developer’s job isn’t coding. It also isn’t about requirements -> code. Most of a developer’s job isn’t coding, it is the human part of parsing requirements and providing real feedback on the realities of implementation with an existing code base.
Every LLM I have encountered can’t even get 5% of it right. Many choke on even absorbing a large/ancient code base, especially with custom tooling.
Also, what clients claim to want is never what they actually want, and if they could feed it to an LLM , they wouldn’t need half the startups/small businesses in the world would they?
